Roxy Art¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 86

14/1

Off the mark in third start when winning on the AW at Chelmsford before a sound C&D second next on handicap debut. Group Three beyond her next but this more realistic although penalty does make things tougher.

Form: 45127

Delta Bravo

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Fahy| T: J S Moore

66/1

Mastercraftsman filly out of a maiden half-sister to a Listed placed two-year-old. Trainer two from 44 with two-year-olds this season so overall evidence not compelling.

Fashion's Star

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H & R Charlton

3/1

€400,000 yearling by Sea The Stars out of a Listed placed dam effective at up to 1m who is half-sister to internet sensation and Hong Kong Group One winner Pakistan Star. Trainer doesn't have many two-year-old winners but pedigree demands respect.

Ice Gala²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| BF

11/8

Made a promising start over 6f at Newmarket when finishing best of all for third only beaten ½L. Made favourite there next over 7f but had to settle for a close second. This a tough race but capable of more for top connections so merits respect.

Form: 32

5/2

Close seconds here (6f) and at Newmarket (7f) in first two starts before last of eight albeit only beaten 4L in Group Three Prestige Stakes at Goodwood. Sets the standard and good chance here especially with no penalty as a maiden.

Form: 228

Rhossili Down

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: C Hills

16/1

Newcomer by Kingman out of a 6f AW two-year-old winning half-sister to a German Group Three winner. Attractive enough pedigree but trainer's two-year-olds tend to improve for their first run.

Thanks Be

20/1

65,000gns daughter of Mukhadram is a half-sister to four winners including Group Three winning juvenile Love Lockdown (6f). Speedy enough pedigree but trainer 0-22 with turf two-year-olds this season.

POSTED was found out latest at Group Three level but had previously ran two very sound races at Newmarket and on that form she has a serious chance here. The first-time hood is another possible positive so she gets the vote. Ice Gala is another who's knocked at the door twice in novice company and she looks sure to go close too. The most appealing of the newcomers is expensive Sea The Stars filly Fashion's Star and any money for her would be very notable.
