Won a Group 2 in Meydan in the early spring and has been highly tried since. Failed to take advantage of a good opportunity dropped to this level at Pontefract last time. Conditions ideal and has sound claims once again.

Won this race last year but hasn't really fired in any of her four starts so far this term. Needs to up her game back here and if anything this is a stronger renewal that last year.

Only two starts so far this year and she faded when trying to make the running in the Wolferton at Royal Ascot last time. Fitness should be assured now and her best pieces of form give her a major shout in here.

Won three times at a lower level than this when trained by Damien De Watrigant in France. Didn't get the clearest of runs on stable debut at Goodwood last time but was ultimately well beaten. Market check needed.

Picked up a Listed contest at Nottingham two starts back but struggled in a better race on the AW at Newcastle last time. This is a deep race for the grade so she will need to improve to be involved at the business end.

Looked in need of the run on her reappearance at York last month. Previous efforts in Listed company and Group 3's last year give her sound claims of being involved here. Hold up performer who will hope there is plenty of pace on.

Nice winner at Sandown on her second start. No disgrace in finishing third to the very good Sea Of Class at Newbury next time and having been given a short break she is a major contender here with Ryan Moore on board.

C&D winner who has been thriving of late having won a novice event and a couple of handicaps. This requires another step forward but is on an upward curve and can't be dismissed with further improvement likely.

Forecasts

Chain Of Daisies (7/4), Crystal Hope (5/2), Promising Run (5/1), Rasima (6/1), Savaanah (7/1), Billesdon Bess (12/1), Pleasant Surprise (14/1), Mia Tesoro (16/1), Luire (33/1)

Verdict

A good looking renewal and you can make a solid case for several on the field. CRYSTAL HOPE looks to still have plenty of potential and is taken to get back to winning ways having run so well behind Sea Of Class last time. Chain Of Daises and Promising Run would both go close if returning to their best and are very much respected. The main danger may come from Rasima who is closely matched with the selection on a line through Sea Of Class and could go well if bouncing back from a poor run last time.
