11/8
Penalised for her Salisbury win last month (1m2f, good to firm), but that form has some substance (fifth has won a nursery since), and open to further improvement.

20/1
Picked up for 12,000gns in February, but has failed to make much of an impression in a couple of starts so far (1m2f-1m4f); better suited once allocated a handicap mark.

Konigin10

66/1
Shamardal filly who is a half-sister to a couple of winners including Kitty Boo (1m); limited promise so far, appearing to need more time and an increased test of stamina (dam a 1m4f winner) in order to put her best foot forward.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-12| J: Louis Steward| T: H Palmer
40/1
Out of a 6f-1m1f winning dam, and a half-sister to various European winners, this filly should make an impression at some point, but was a well beaten last of eight on debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) last month.

15/8
Sister to the 7f+ juvenile winner Latin Beat, this Galileo filly showed marked improvement from first start to second when staying on well to finish just 1¾L behind Crystal Moonlight at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) last month; good chance.

11/4
Street Cry filly who was a beaten favourite at York last month (1m, good to firm), but shaped as if needing a much stiffer test of stamina, and far better judged on her debut 3L third to Drill at Chelmsford (1m2f).

Reassurance18
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-12| J: F Norton| T: J Tate
20/1
30,000gns yearling who finished in front of today's rivals Given Choice and Konigin when finishing fourth on debut at Salisbury in June (1m2f), and broadly ran a similar race next time at Wolverhampton without quite staying the extra yardage (1m4f)

Horse silk
66/1
Unraced first foal out of a US 5½f dirt winner (Wheresthewireshirl); hard to imagine her featuring all that prominently unless the market speaks favourably.

Forecasts

Thimbleweed (11/8), Miss Latin (15/8), Parting Clouds (11/4), Reassurance (20/1), Given Choice (20/1), Minovia (40/1), My Heart (50/1), Konigin (66/1), Yuppy Love (66/1)

Verdict

With a few of these fillies looking to be backward types this undoubtedly lies between the Salisbury winner Thimbleweed, the improving Miss Latin and the Saeed Bin Suroor-trained PARTING CLOUDS. Miss Latin probably boasts the strongest recent form and won't go down without a fight, but a narrow preference is for the Godolphin filly who appeared unsuited by dropping back to a mile at York last month, and as a half-sister to the 1m4f AW winner Good Judge should relish the return to this longer trip.
  1. Parting Clouds
  2. Miss Latin
