Ultra Violet¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: E F Vaughan| BF

7/2

Looked smart when storming to an 8L debut success at Newmarket (6f), but ran herself to a standstill in the Group 3 Sweet Solera Stakes (7f) there next time. Big chance at this level, but does need to settle to fulfil her potential in the long term.

Form: 18

Brainchild¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish

33/1

Closely related to Group 3 Firth of Clyde Stakes winner Dark Reckoning from a fine sprinting family. Badly drawn and green on Beverley debut, but ran on well when the penny dropped, and the type to improve markedly on that modest form.

Form: 8

(6)

Hot Affair²¹

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

7/4

Ivawood filly who was much improved from debut when ¾L second of 6 to Vintage Times in a C&D novice three weeks ago. Will improve further, and has solid place claims.

Form: 62

Led Astray²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: M L W Bell

22/1

Has shaped better than the bare result on both starts to date, fading inside the last when fifth of 7 to Final Option in a 6f novice here last time. Drop in trip will suit, and not without hope.

Form: 65

Nice One Too^v1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 11

200/1

Visored for the first time having failed to beat a rival in three previous starts, and beaten 30L or more each time. Makes very limited appeal.

Form: 076

(4)

Poets Dance²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: Rae Guest| OR: 79| BF

6/5

Has run to a useful level on all three starts, and although beaten at very skinny odds at Nottingham last time, she pulled 8L clear of the third, and probably worth another chance.

Form: 322

Poets Dance (6/5), Hot Affair (7/4), Ultra Violet (7/2), Led Astray (22/1), Brainchild (33/1), Nice One Too (200/1)

Ultra Violet ought to win this if back to the form of her debut win, but the way she pulled at Newmarket last time is a concern, and she may not represent banker material at the likely odds. Poets Dance is a solid place option, although has been beaten at short odds the last twice, and a chance is taken on C&D second HOT AFFAIR, who will improve further, and has the benefit of being proven at this idiosyncratic track.
