De Beau Tant²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: D Burchell| OR: 38

150/1

Delegator filly seemingly with little ability based on seven runs for three trainers since May 2018 debut. Impossible to fancy her chances on what she has shown previously.

Form: 0590-06

Tops No²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Charles Bishop| T: W R Muir

66/1

Filly by Mount Nelson, attempted to make all on Flat debut (well held in bumpers previously) at Ffos Las (1m4f, good to soft) and eventually tailed off behind the field. Huge ask on AW bow.

Form: 8

(7)

Another Approach^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Nicola Currie| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 48

40/1

Has toiled on most of her nine starts, but daughter of Dawn Approach did show some fleeting promise on AW at Wolverhampton in April and she finds a weak heat now. Not crossed out.

Form: 847898

(3)

Elegant Love¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 64

8/1

14-race maiden, though she has certainly become more competitive for the step up in distance of late, including runner-up effort in 1m3f Goodwood seller last time. Better credentials than most in this line-up.

Form: 464442

(4)

Miss Pollyanna^h1³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: R Ingram| OR: 45

66/1

Helmet filly, unplaced in her six runs. She has done her best work on AW at this track and Lingfield in maidens. Hood added now and needs to improve.

Form: 66-6880

(2)

Persuer³²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

4/1

Intello filly, picked up for €62,000 at the sales in the spring of 2018. Made little impression on debut at Yarmouth (1m, good; 12-1) last October but could be capable of better. Watch betting on return.

Form: 6-

(1)

Royal Family^t¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 78

11/2

She is a daughter of Frankel out of Australian Listed winner, though price tag was low at 22,000 gns. Improved on fourth start to be ¾L second in three-runner Fillies' Novice Stakes at Chelmsford. Strong claims on that form.

Form: 8-362

(6)

Strelka¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| BF

1/4

Kingman filly, half-sister to Derby and Arc winner Workforce in these silks. Runner-up in both starts, proving no match for more experienced rival at Chelmsford last time (1m2f, 9-4f). Should have a big say in this contest.

Form: 22

Forecasts

Strelka (1/4), Persuer (4/1), Royal Family (11/2), Elegant Love (8/1), Another Approach (40/1), Miss Pollyanna (66/1), Tops No (66/1), De Beau Tant (150/1)

Royal Family and STRELKA appear the two to focus on, with preference for the last-named. She's been second in both starts so far and the half-sister to Workforce should thrive upped in trip here in bidding to get on the board. Having finished a good second last time at Chelmsford it will be no shock to see Royal Family keeping the selection honest. Persuer returns from a break and is worth a betting check while Elegant Love comes here on the back of a fair run at Goodwood and could harbour place ambitions.
