Cherries At Dawn⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D J S Ffrench Davis

16/1

Daughter of Dawn Approach, acquired for relatively small money. Not beaten far in either start at Lingfield (1m2f) or Wolverhampton (1m4f) so far, though does go up in class this evening. Competitive.

Form: 42

(11)

Dubawi Meeznah⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Hogan⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock

50/1

Expensive daughter of Dubawi, managed only third of four here last summer (1m5½f) on debut and backwards step at Wolverhampton in April on reappearance. Bit to prove.

Form: 3-7

(6)

Giving Back¹⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: A Kirby| T: A King

40/1

Narrow winner of pair of Mares' bumpers at Lingfield and Kempton during 2018. Found out in better company since, including at Aintree in April, before two unpromising runs over timber (fancied). May find this a bit sharp.

Dame Malliot¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S Donohoe| T: E F Vaughan

11/4

Nicely related filly by Champs Elysees, winner of an 11-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (1m1½f, AW; 3-1) on debut with something up her sleeve seemingly. Should improve.

Form: 1-

(9)

Geizy Teizy²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Botti| D

5/1

Nicely bred filly with plenty of scope, improved on second start/return from break to win 1m2f good-ground Windsor novice contest last month. Should get involved if handling this surface.

Form: 4-1

(4)

Albanderi

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: Sir Michael Stoute

10/1

€240,000 yearling, Kingman filly is a half-sister to smart winner up to 1m½f The Revenant Leading stable could scarcely be in better form ahead of this debut outing.

Form:

(1)

Astral Girl

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison

33/1

Intello filly, closely related to 1m4f winner Cristal Spirit and half-sister to useful 7f/1m winner Mystique Moon. Commands a second look on debut.

Form:

(13)

Desert Mission²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: S Crisford

20/1

Shamardal filly, makes some appeal on paper and shaped better on second start at Bath (1m3½f, firm; 33-1) when making the frame having set pace. Not ideally berthed here but should offer something.

Form: 83

(7)

Hindaam

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

7/1

Arch filly is a half-sister to three winners, including useful 1m2f winner Erhaaf and 1m3f winner Ruzeiz. Yard capable of having him ready for big opening effort.

Form:

(12)

Moll Davis²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: George Scott

8/1

Kingman filly; plenty winners in family, finished fourth of 12 in maiden at Beverley (7½f, good; 12-1) last month on debut. Upped markedly in distance this time.

Form: 54

(3)

Parish Poet¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole

14/1

Daughter of Lope de Vega, has shaped with some promise in her two runs so far, including at Goodwood over 7f last month when seemingly caught for toe; interesting over this longer trip.

Form: 3-4

(5)

Scenesetter⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: M Botti

25/1

Costly purchase, related to Group-winners on the continent. Yet to threaten in two runs, finishing fifth of 10 in maiden at Newbury (1m2f, soft) in April. More needed.

Form: 35

(15)

Whimbrel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

Dark Angel filly, cost €375,000 as a yearling. Finished third of 10 at Haydock (1m, good to firm) recently on second start, doing best work at the end. Up in trip and entitled to improve.

Form: 7-3

Forecasts

Dame Malliot (11/4), Qamka (11/4), Whimbrel (9/2), Geizy Teizy (5/1), Hindaam (7/1), Moll Davis (8/1), Albanderi (10/1), Parish Poet (14/1), Cherries At Dawn (16/1), Desert Mission (20/1), Souila (20/1), Scenesetter (25/1), Irish Steps (25/1), Astral Girl (33/1), Giving Back (40/1), Dubawi Meeznah (50/1)

Qamka and Whimbrel are the picks on form shown, with the former having run third in a useful-looking Nottingham maiden last month on debut. She should find this longer trip to her liking and is the standard-bearer. There are plenty of interesting newcomers however and none more so than ALBANDERI for the red-hot Sir Michael Stoute team. The Kingman filly should appreciate this trip and can have a big say, while fellow debutante Hindaam is also shortlisted. Parish Poet is a possible improver upped in distance after her recent Goodwood outing with Dame Malliot another on the upgrade.
