Dark Lady¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 98| D

13/2

Opened her account on the AW at Lingfield (6f) by 5L and since then she has performed well at Group 3 level without success. She was second of seven last time at Goodwood (7f) where she was beaten by just a neck. One for the shortlist.

Dear Power³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Varian| D

17/2

Acclamation filly who has had just the one run so far where she scored on her debut at Chelsmford (6f) on the AW after quickening up nicely in the closing stages. Is taking a step up in class but a big run cannot be ruled out.

Dr Simpson¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 94

33/1

Scored at Chester (5f) by 7L on her second start. She has been unable to add to that since then, although she has run well at Listed level, including latest at York (5f) when second of 12. Will need to improve in Group company.

Form: 21832

Final Option³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W R Muir| D

18/1

Made an impressive start on her debut at Ripon (6f) where she scored by 4½L, despite finding traffic in the closing stages. Stepping up in class here so may need to produce more, however, she can't be discounted.

Form: 1

Good Vibes¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans| OR: 103| C

8/1

Was successful twice earlier this year, with the latter coming in Listed company here over 5f. Her last run came in the Group Two Lowther Stakes at York (6f) where she was third of 10. Big player on the evidence of her last performance.

Jouska²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: H Candy| OR: 90

20/1

Broke her maiden on her second start at Sandown (5f). She stepped up to Listed level last time at Newbury (5f) where she could only finish fourth of 10. Will need to improve here at her first attempt at a Group race.

Form: 614

Kemble¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 93

50/1

Her sole victory came at Windsor earlier this year where she scored by 5L in a 5f contest. Her last outing was at York (5f) in a Listed race where she came home sixth of 12. Much more needed if she is to be competitive in this race.

Millisle²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 103

9/2

Has been successful twice in her three runs to date. Her two wins have come over 5f, including on her latest appearance at the Curragh where she scored by ½L in a Listed contest. Stepping up in class but she looks good enough to be at this level.

Form: 121

So Sharp⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: A Watson| D

12/1

Made a winning start at Newbuey (6f) where she justified going off as the 11/10 favourite. Was seventh of nine last time at Ascot in the Group 3 Keeneland Stakes, just a head behind Summer Romance. More needed here.

Form: 17

Summer Romance⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 106| BF| D

6/4

She was successful in her opening two starts of her career, including in a Listed race at Newmarket (6f). She stepped up to Group 3 company last time but she could only finish sixth of nine at Ascot (6f) after not getting a clean run. Big player.

Forecasts

Summer Romance (6/4), Millisle (9/2), Dark Lady (13/2), Good Vibes (8/1), Dear Power (17/2), So Sharp (12/1), Final Option (18/1), Jouska (20/1), Dr Simpson (33/1), She Can Dance (33/1), Kemble (50/1)

SUMMER ROMANCE went into the Group 3 Keeneland Stakes as the odds-on favourite but she did not get a clear run in the race which hampered her chances. She has shown in her opening two starts that she has a big future and she is good enough to land a contest at this level. Millisle scored in a Listed contest at the Curragh last time and can make this step up in class to be in contention at the finish, while Dear Power has had a lot of shown confidence in her by her connections to move up to Group company on her second start so expect a big run.
