Wuheida^p1¹⁸³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 112| D

10/11

Very impressive winner at the Breeders' Cup when landing the fillies' race adding another top level success to her CV after a Group 1 win in France as a juvenile. Hard to beat despite the penalty in this line up. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 1/23441-

Billesdon Bess²²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 101

16/1

Listed winner at the end of last season but entitled to need this on return and quite possibly playing for places at best against these rivals.

Form: 212115-

Elegant Pose⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: G M Lyons| OR: 102| BF| D

9/2

Career best effort when landing a Listed race at Naas and is three wins from five starts in her career. Should come on for her run back at Naas on seasonal reappearance and should improve for the likely better ground. Should run well.

Form: 1131-3

Golden Legend¹⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alexis Badel| T: H F Devin| D

4/1

Followed a Listed win at Chantilly with a Group 3 success at Maisons-Laffitte in September last year and can be forgiven her most recent effort at Saint-Cloud. Form a level below what would be required to win this but may be capable of improvement.

Indian Blessing¹⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: E Walker| OR: 96| D

20/1

Gained her second career victory when winning at Deauville in Listed company last time. Blundered coming out the stalls on sole run here and she can be forgiven that but has a fair bit to find on form regardless.

Mia Tesoro^h³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 92

66/1

Rattled off a four-timer immediately after joining this yard but struggling to get her head in front lately and while she's run okay in some Listed events on AW, there's plenty more needed here.

Form: 8432-98

(4)

Tisbutadream²¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 102

8/1

Very game sort who is seen at her best when allowed to dominate from the front. Possible she could get an easy lead here and Moore an obvious bonus in the saddle; not ruled out if the ground continues to dry out.

Form: 913233-

Wilamina²⁰⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 102

12/1

Lost his maiden tag on the July course here. Listed winner on seasonal return last year but acquitted herself well in Group company without winning through most of the remainder of the campaign. Interesting runner.

Form: 0/12035-

Forecasts

Wuheida (10/11), Golden Legend (4/1), Elegant Pose (9/2), Tisbutadream (8/1), Wilamina (12/1), Billesdon Bess (16/1), Indian Blessing (20/1), Mia Tesoro (66/1)

If WUHEIDA turns up in the same form that saw her win at the Breeders' Cup meeting, she should prove to be on a different level to her rivals here. Elegant Pose should come on for her most recent run and Tisbutadream is dangerous if allowed to dictate terms, particularly with Ryan Moore in the saddle.
