Impressive on her Newcastle debut (runner-up rated mid 70s) but she was soon beaten on her subsequent start at Meydan. Has since been given time to recover from wind surgery and she returns with her yard in very good form.

Late foal by Frankel, related to several winners, most notably Hadaatha and dam a Listed winner placed in Group 1 class. Split two fillies currently rated 94 and 86 on debut so should have little difficulty winning one of these.

Has shown little, admittedly in races that have worked out well, but she is in another potentially hot contest here.

From a successful family, but bought very cheaply as a yearling, and looks to have a lot on her plate in a competitive affair.

Full sister to Utmost who is a Listed winner for this trainer on Polytrack and a Group 2 winner in Canada. The market should tell us more.

Nicely bred filly who was a beaten favourite on debut at Longchamp before being picked up for just 3,000 gns in July.

Dansili filly who cost 200,000 gns as a yearling. and is a sister to 1m2f winner Coroberee. Plenty of appeal on breeding but that was not matched by her Wolverhampton debut.

Daughter of Street Cry out of a Grade 1 winning mare. Half-sister to the useful Segra and made her debut at Brighton when no match for a 79-rated stable companion. Will have learnt a lot from a kind introduction.

Taraayef
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-11| J: Charles Bishop| T: W J Haggas
16/1
Unraced Teofilo filly out of a dam who was placed on the AW and who has produced a winner in Germany. Not as well-bred as some of these but represents a trainer who has a 27% career strike rate here with this age group.

Forecasts

Anasheed (8/13), Caring Touch (5/1), Saffira (5/1), Lacustre (14/1), Cuillin (14/1), Keltie (16/1), Taraayef (16/1), Lady In Lights (40/1), Ifitsmeanttobe (150/1)

Verdict

John Gosden is doubly represented with Saffira and Keltie. The former shaped encouragingly on debut but was still beaten by a 79-rated rival and that gives her work to do against a couple of these. Keltie has a nice pedigree and any positive signals should be heeded, but on form this should be fought out between Caring Touch and ANASHEED. The former was impressive on her Newcastle debut, when running to a mark of about 90 but has had her problems since. The selection ran to a similar level when splitting a useful pair at Goodwood in May. The yard have had a bug which has delayed her reappearance, but they are in good form currently and she can take advantage of her allowance.
