Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 78

5/1

Certainly the most exposed runner in the field but also ran well over 6f at Kempton last time when getting off the mark. Stamina for this far not guaranteed.

Dotted Swiss¹⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

9/2

A winner on debut last time out when keeping on to lead late, she carries a 6lb penalty here but has a proven record and shouldn't mind the additional furlong.

Form: 1

Bucklow Brook⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Winston| T: D H Brown

100/1

Underwhelming when beaten 10L into eighth on debut at Newcastle last time out and needs a total revolution in his form here.

Form: 8

Collegiate

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ted Durcan| T: Sir Michael Stoute

33/1

Declaration Of War filly who cost €350,000 as a yearling. Worth a check in the market for this racecourse debut.

Cwynar²²

16/1

Showed improvement from her first to second starts to finish second at Kempton last time out. Up in trip here but may well stay this far.

Dance Me¹¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk

7/1

Not disgraced on debut at Newbury last time when finishing third despite showing signs of her inexperience. Better can be expected of her here.

Form: 3

Desert Diamond

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute

8/1

Dubawi filly, a half-sister to 7f Jewel House who goes for top connections here and has to respected on her racecourse debut.

Flora Sandes^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

5/1

War Front filly out of a Galileo mare who cost $900,000 as a yearling. Excellent pedigree and trainer is having an excellent season with his two-year-olds.

Jamaican Jill

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir

33/1

Teofilo filly who is related to quite a few winners but is up against here for a trainer yet to run a juvenile all-weather winner this year.

Form:

Mesquite

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett

10/1

High Chaparral filly who is related to a couple of winners at this trip or similar and is worth a check in the market on debut.

Spring Waterfall

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor

14/1

Exceed and Excel filly, a half-sister to Australian Group 1 filly Miss Finland, but trainer isn't having the best season with his juveniles.

Sweet Symphony

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: M Botti

50/1

Helmet filly who cost 32,000gns as a yearling. Only a significant market move would be enough to bring her into considerations.

Umaimah²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas

9/2

Didn't show too much on debut at Newmarket last time out when well-beaten in a strung out field, but may be capable of better for some top connections.

Forecasts

Dotted Swiss (9/2), Umaimah (9/2), Bath And Tennis (5/1), Flora Sandes (5/1), Dance Me (7/1), Lady Al Thumama (7/1), Desert Diamond (8/1), Mesquite (10/1), Spring Waterfall (14/1), Cwynar (16/1), Jamaican Jill (33/1), Collegiate (33/1), Sweet Symphony (50/1), Bucklow Brook (100/1)

There are a few interesting newcomers here, including Flora Sandes, who is impeccably bred for top connections, and Desert Diamond, whose relations also catch the eye. Preference, though is for DOTTED SWISS. Richard Hannon's charge has to defy a bigger weight here due to a penalty but showed a likable attitude on debut at Lingfield last time out and should be able to show more over this longer trip.
