Accordance²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| CD

7/1

Archipenko filly who got off the mark over this C&D on her second career start displaying battling qualities that should help in this big step up in class. Improved significantly first to second start and would be no surprise to see her involved.

Form: 21

Aim Power¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Hannon

16/1

Zebedee filly, cost €160,000 as a yearling. Built on promise of debut here with a good win at Windsor. Bred to stay and should be competitive with further progress likely. Last year's winning stable also run Ajrar and Posted.

Form: 81

Ajrar¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 98

9/1

Built on debut win with a good Listed second behind Look Around at Sandown. Perhaps unsuited by give in the ground in a Group 3 at Newmarket, however concern that she pulled very hard and needs to settle better in this company.

Antonia De Vega⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| D

5/2

€130,000 Lope De Vega filly won a hot looking maiden at Newmarket's July festival first up beating an Aidan O'Brien horse who has since won easily. Showed a smart turn of foot and looked a smart filly in the making. Looks a leading contender.

Form: 1

Chynna⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Scott McCullagh| T: M R Channon| OR: 78

50/1

Off the mark on her fourth start before struggling in Listed company. Can improve now going up in trip but this looks a very tough ask.

Look Around³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 101| D

5/1

Kingman filly who has impressed winning her last two including in Listed company at Sandown. Regarded by connections as a filly who will improve to a higher level and looks likely to be involved.

Form: 611

(6)

Magnetic Charm¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: W J Haggas

13/2

Exceed And Excel half-sister to Dahlia/Duke of Cambridge Stakes winner Usherette. Was far too good when winning with loads in hand on her second start and is bred to improve now going up in trip. Likely to make a bold bid.

Form: 31

Posted²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

5/2

Daughter of Kingman built on debut second when running into a potentially high-class sort to fill the same place again. Pulled well clear of the third in a quick time and shouldn't be dismissed despite yet to taste a first success.

Forecasts

Antonia De Vega (5/2), Posted (5/2), Look Around (5/1), Magnetic Charm (13/2), Accordance (7/1), Ajrar (9/1), Miss Celestial (14/1), Aim Power (16/1), Chynna (50/1)

An open looking renewal which was won last year by this season's 1000 Guineas heroine. Her stable saddle three in a bid to repeat the success with Posted looking the pick of the trio. ANTONIA DE VEGA represents a trainer whose runners only improve with experience and she holds some fancy entries including the Group 1 Fillies' Mile. She could hardly have been more impressive on debut while Magnetic Charm is an obvious danger after her impressive front-running success which was backed up by a good time. She'll face competition for the lead from the impressive Look Around while Accordance has shown a tremendous attitude and is proven over this C&D.
