25/1
Sir Prancealot gelding; well beaten on second start at Catterick (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago and shouldn't be troubling the judge on that evidence.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby
5/2
Half-brother to five winners, including Home Office (7f) and Whoopsy Daisy (1m2f); minimal promise in two AW starts (7f-1m+); returns to action from an 85-day absence; will be more interesting once sent handicapping.

Fortamour113
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-6| J: G Lee| T: B Haslam
9/4
£37,000 yearling; half-brother to three winners; was relatively prominent in the market (7-2) on debut at Redcar (6f, good to firm) in May, but could only finish seventh of nine to In Trutina; off since.

100/1
Orientor gelding from a 6f winning dam; in rear throughout on both starts (6f-1m); cheekpieces are now applied seeking a complete transformation in fortunes; unlikely.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott
7/2
Lethal Force filly; third foal; half-sister to two winners, including Newcastle scorer Frank's Legacy (6f/7f); slowly away on debut before running on to finish a never nearer fourth (beaten 2½L) to Havana Jade in a 7f Wolverhampton fillies' novice.

Hey Jazzy Lady24
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: Paula Muir(5)| T: A Crook| OR:  45
100/1
Well beaten in the vast majority of her eight career starts (5f-6f), and as a lowly-rated handicapper simply can't be considered as a realistic contender in this contest on her AW debut.

Mithayel Style48
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: D Thompson| OR:  48
150/1
Left Peter Chapple-Hyam for a mere 1,500gns in May and hasn't achieved anything of note (0-2) since; look elsewhere with confidence.

Horse silk
Ravenscar38
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-1| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer
5/2
Helmet filly (4,000gns yearling); 20-1, but shaped with plenty of promise on debut in a Redcar maiden (7f, good) last month, finishing a keeping on ½L second to Lady Dauphin; sets the standard in a weak race on the basis of that form.

Forecasts

Fortamour (9/4), Clifton (5/2), Ravenscar (5/2), Festina (7/2), Blistering Barney (25/1), Arthur Shelby (28/1), Hey Jazzy Lady (100/1), Its Toytown (100/1), Mithayel Style (150/1)

Verdict

With the possible exception of Fortamour, it's nigh impossible to view this race as anything other than a straight match between the fillies' Festina and RAVENSCAR. Hailing from the Sir Mark Prescott yard the former has the 'sexier' overall profile, and she's expected to come on leaps and bounds for her Wolverhampton debut, but on the figures the Grant Tuer-trained filly boasts the strongest form. She should take plenty of beating if proving to be equally effective on Tapeta.
