10/3

Beat two rivals here on debut (heavy) and then second in a Listed event at Newmarket (6f, good to firm). Early signs are that she will see out 1m, and cheekpieces now added. Should prove tough to beat.

Form: 126

Dusty Dream

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas

7/2

Half-sister to four winners, including Recorder (7f 2yo including Group 3) and Call To Mind (1m-2m, including US Grade 2). Dam 6f 2yo winner (including Group 2). Represents top yard and entered in Group 1 Fillies' Mile. Interesting.

Heart Reef

9/4

€220,000 yearling. Dam unplaced over 7f-1m4f in France, half-sister to King George/Arc winner Danedream and Group 3 winners Venice Beach (1m4f) and Broadway (9.4f). In good hands and should be capable of a decent debut effort.

Rainbow Jet²⁸

50/1

Modest debut effort, and then fifth of nine in maiden here (7f, soft) last time. Hard to fancy in this line-up unless there is major improvement.

Form: 05

Sun Crystal⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

22/1

Well held on debut. Showed some improvement on that last time out at Thirsk (7f, good), but needs plenty more of that to figure here.

Tulip Fields³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| BF

9/4

From a good family. Went close when runner-up at Carlisle and then third at Goodwood (both 7f). Needs to step up a bit on that, but this Group 1 Fillies' Mile entry is short-listed.

Forecasts

Tulip Fields and Dusty Dream are two in this field who hold Group 1 entries and both represent top teams. The former needs improvement on what we saw last time, but not a huge amount of it, and she is much respected. That latter is a newcomer of interest on pedigree. However, URSULINA shapes as though she will be at home over a mile, and with her also being proven on slow ground, she gets the vote. Heart Reef should also be noted in the market.
