Alpinista³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: Sir Mark Prescott| D

3/1

Got off to a winning start on her debut at Epsom (7f). She was green at times on that opening run but scored cosily once she got her head down inside the final 1f. Is stepping up in class but she looks capable of much more. One for the shortlist.

Form: 1

Angel Of Delight²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: H Palmer| D

16/1

Improved on her modest debut at Lingfield (6f) to score at Newmarket (7f) on her second appearance, despite a slow start. She is stepping up in level here where more will be needed. Is open to improvement though so one to watch.

Boomer³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| D

5/2

Made a modest start to her career at Haydock (7f) where she was 3½L away. Improved a lot last time at Newbury (7f) to break her maiden. Ran on strongly on her latest start despite running green which suggests there is more to come.

Dark Lady¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 96

5/1

Scored on her second start at Lingfield (6f) on the AW. Her latest two appearances have come in Group company, including on her last outing where she was third of eight over this distance at Newmarket, beaten 1¾L. One to consider here.

Form: 2143

Romsey¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Morrison| OR: 93| D

11/1

Got off the mark at the second attempt at Chelmsford (7f) on the AW. Has been out of the frame on her latest two runs but she has not been far away, including at Newmarket (7f) last time when fourth of eight. Worth considering.

Form: 3144

Shadn³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 96

3/1

Has won twice on her three starts so far, including latest at Newbury (6f) in a Listed race. Her only defeat came in the Group 2 Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot (5f) where she was 13th of 25. Looks capable at this level so leading player.

Form: 101

Stylistique¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| BF

14/1

Is still a maiden after two runs, however, she has been in the frame on both of those two starts, including latest where she only went down by a neck when second of 12 at Kempton (7f) on the AW after going off as the 11/8 favourite. Each-way claims.

Forecasts

Boomer (5/2), Shadn (3/1), Alpinista (3/1), Dark Lady (5/1), Vividly (15/2), Romsey (11/1), Ananya (12/1), Stylistique (14/1), Angel Of Delight (16/1)

SHADN has only experienced defeat once so far and that was in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot where the trip was a little short for her. She has shown she is a very smart filly and this step up in distance and level look within her reach so take her to record her third success in four starts. Dark Lady came really close last time at this level over this distance at Newmarket so there is no reason to think she won't be in the mix again, while Boomer was impressive on her latest appearance at Newbury so she looks capable of being competitive at this level.
