Crossing The Line²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 99| CD

6/1

Boasts a strike-rate of six wins from 15 runs including a success over this C&D last December. Runner-up on her other two visits including in Listed company in June. Not disgraced in the Bunbury Cup last time and not discounted off this mark.

Form: 715820

Island Of Life^p,t⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 99| D

9/2

Third in the Group 3 Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle but struggled at that level the last twice. Raced well on her only previous visit here but does return to handicap company off a high enough mark.

Form: 265300

Emily Goldfinch^p⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: P S McEntee| OR: 92| BF| CD

16/1

Has raised her game to a new level with three very consistent runs over 6f at Newmarket (a win and two seconds). Only 1lb higher and her sole previous AW win came over this C&D. Likely to go close once again.

Form: 616122

Daddies Girl²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Joshua Bryan⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 91

20/1

Now 4lb higher than her Lingfield win in June and below par when upped in class last time. Makes her AW debut and she's on a high enough mark at this level. Others likely better handicapped.

Form: 0-16717

California Love²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: R Spencer| OR: 94| CD

7/1

Often highly tried last term but won twice. Ran a huge sixth on her season debut in the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot and then made all for a clear career best win at Newmarket. Up 7lb but still progressing and a former C&D winner.

Form: 7761-61

(7)

Pattie¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 88| D

14/1

Still 4lb above her last winning handicap mark and while she's not been disgraced the last twice, she'd need to improve on it at this level. Ideally suited by a mile.

Form: 607938

Jadeerah^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| C

3/1

Beautifully bred daughter of Frankel got off the mark in a one mile novice here on start number five. Probably found the ground on quick side at Ascot but still not disgraced in Listed company. Likely there's more to come back on this surface.

Form: 220-416

(5)

Invitational⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 92| D

8/1

Physically impressive filly won a Kempton and Wolverhampton novice on starts two and three. Down the field on turf and handicap debut in the Sandringham Stakes at Royal Ascot but likely there's still plenty more to come.

Form: 0-110

Lady Lawyer¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 90| C| D

5/2

Won over a mile here to make it two wins and a close second from three starts to date. Only just saw the trip out so a return to this distance looks ideal. Opening handicap mark looks attractive. Stable also runs Jadeerah.

Form: 1-21

Forecasts

Lady Lawyer (5/2), Jadeerah (3/1), Island Of Life (9/2), Crossing The Line (6/1), California Love (7/1), Invitational (8/1), Pattie (14/1), Emily Goldfinch (16/1), Daddies Girl (20/1)

Invitational looked a filly on the up before her Royal Ascot run but there was no disgrace being down the field in that class and she'll be better suited by a return to the AW. Lady Lawyer is also lightly raced and back over this distance rates a major player on handicap debut. Stablemate Jadeerah is another leading hope back on a more suitable surface. CALIFORNIA LOVE ran really well in the Sandringham and off the back of a personal best could be a tough nut to crack back on a surface that suits. Emily Goldfinch is flying at present, proving very reliable and looks a serious danger.
