Magnolia Springs^p1²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 94| D

10/1

Goodwood Listed winner last season but hasn't hit that form since. Recent 15L sixth in Newmarket Listed contest (1m4f, good) suggests she has plenty to prove now.

Form: 76-6646

Queen of Time^p³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: H Candy| OR: 97| CD

11/1

Has good form as an outsider in Group company last year and took a step back in the right direction with handicap success over C&D on latest start. Significant step up required but yard have won this for the last two years.

Form: 955361

33/1

Chelmsford novice winner last season but well held in this company so far. Tailed off in 1m4f Newmarket Listed contest on latest start and others are readily preferred.

Form: 21-40

Time Change⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: P J Dobbs| T: R M Beckett| OR: 85| CD

25/1

C&D winner last season and was touched off by Queen of Time here two starts ago before landing 1m2f Bath handicap with some authority. This is more demanding so another step up is required.

Form: 1-94521

Fanny Logan^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 106| D

1/2

Highly tried this season and first-time hood seemed to work wonders when winning 1m2f York Listed contest in commanding style. The one to beat on that form.

Form: 2-1391

Sand Share⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98

4/1

Disappointed on seasonal reappearance in the Musidora Stakes but shaped better in 1m4f French Listed contest in June. Form of that looks moderate but she is well-bred and holds claims.

Form: 134-83

Forecasts

Fanny Logan (1/2), Sand Share (4/1), Lavender's Blue (4/1), Magnolia Springs (10/1), Queen of Time (11/1), Sweet Promise (12/1), Gallic (16/1), Sh Boom (16/1), Time Change (25/1), Skill Set (33/1)

A typically competitive Listed contest, Fanny Logan sets the standard courtesy of her York success and with the application of the hood she looked a group performer in waiting and should be hard to beat. But preference is for LAVENDER'S BLUE, whose Oaks run can be forgotten about and could be dangerous over this distance and track if getting her ideal lead. Sand Share needs to step up on ratings to trouble the judge but she should be vying for the places alongside Queen of Time, whose yard usually targets this race with their black type fillies.
