Lah Ti Dar²⁰⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 114| BF| C| D

1/3

Won twice in Listed class, including wide margin success here in August and lost nothing in defeat when only finding one too good in the St Leger. Beaten favourite on Champions' Day at Ascot but hard to beat now dropped in class on her return.

Form: 11123-

Mrs. Sippy²³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 103

16/1

Listed winner at Longchamp (1m4f) and ran okay in a Group 3 at Newmarket (1m4f) towards the end of last season. That didn't look the strongest race for the grade and she can be slowly away; needs to have improved from three to four years old.

Form: 1/24412-

Nyaleti¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 111

10/1

Group 3 winner as a juvenile and won a Listed race at Goodwood last season before landing a German Group 2 next time out. Respectable effort on return last time out but looks more exposed than most in here and at her best with some cut underfoot.

Form: 46532-2

Queen of Time^p¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: H Candy| OR: 94

66/1

Won back-to-back races at Goodwood in 2017 but hasn't won since and hard to envisage her getting competitive at this level over a bit further than what she probably wants.

Form: 2338-95

Rawdaa²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 97| D

6/1

Won two of her five starts as a juvenile and ran well when third of 14 when stepped in to Listed class at Kempton (1m) last time. Step back up in trip looks sure to suit and likely to progress throughout the season.

Form: 21221-3

(3)

Sun Maiden²³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 100| D

16/1

Won on return in 2018 and placed in a Group 2 at Royal Ascot (1m4f) next time. Not in the same form for the remainder of the season and hard to envisage her turning around the form with Lah Ti Dar from a 10L defeat here in Listed class in August.

Form: 4/13436-

Forecasts

Lah Ti Dar (1/3), Rawdaa (6/1), Nyaleti (10/1), Sun Maiden (16/1), Mrs. Sippy (16/1), Queen of Time (66/1)

LAH TI DAR may have lost her unbeaten record towards the end of last season when taking on the colts in the St Leger but she lost little in defeat that day and was only narrowly denied by Magical on Champions' Day. She can get back on track taking on her own sex down in class here provided she doesn't get caught out by the drop in trip. Rawdaa has plenty to find on official ratings but she might be able to build on her comeback run at Kempton, now stepped back up in trip here while Nyaleti is a solid yardstick at this level who is capable of hitting the frame.
