Dance Legend²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest| OR: 89

11/1

Goes well on soft ground, but has struggled at Listed level on turf previously and despite having won at Lingfield (1m5f, soft) last time, she is likely to be outclassed at this level.

Form: 52706-1

Jedhi²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: H Morrison| OR: 85| C| D

14/1

Both turf wins have been on soft/good to soft, the former here last time (1m6f). That was only in class 4 company, but she did win very easily, and she could be one for each-way players here.

Form: 34156-1

Jet Streaming¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: Samuel Farrell| OR: 88

66/1

Soft ground winner in Ireland, and ran well in a Group 3 at Newmarket in 2017, but refused to race latest and doesn't return to this level with much recent form of note.

Form: 9557-6R

Klassique³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 102| BF| D

7/2

Won a good fillies' handicap at Newmarket (1m4f, good to soft) last October, from a mark of 86, and second in both a French Group 3 and a Goodwood Listed event on her reappearance. Should be very competitive.

Form: 21112-2

Magnolia Springs²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 92

33/1

Dual good ground winner, including in Listed company. Improved on her reappearance when sixth of seven in a Naas Group 3 last time. More needed.

Form: 4176-66

Mrs. Sippy²³

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

8/1

French Listed winner (1m4f, good) last September, and followed that up with close second in a Newmarket Group 3. Well held in the Group 2 Middleton on her return last month, but a player if shrugging that off.

Form: 24412-6

Pilaster¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 104| D

7/1

Last year's Group 2 Lilly Langtry winner at Goodwood (1m6f, good), and went close in the Park Hill at Doncaster next time. Not at that level in three further runs, though of more concern is soft ground.

Form: 1138-34

True Self³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Colin Keane| T: W P Mullins| OR: 110| D

8/11

Arrives seeking a five-timer and stepping up a grade, after winning Listed races on her last three starts. Stays 1m6f and goes well on soft ground. Plenty going for her.

Form: 2111-1

Forecasts

True Self (8/11), Klassique (7/2), Highgarden (5/1), Pilaster (7/1), Mrs. Sippy (8/1), Dance Legend (11/1), Jedhi (14/1), Magnolia Springs (33/1), Jet Streaming (66/1)

The way that TRUE SELF has been winning in Listed company, and with conditions to suit, she looks capable of making a successful step up to this level. Highgarden is cited as a threat, with Klassique another, and those wanting to play at longer prices could look to the mudlark Jedhi.
