11/4

Looks to be getting better with racing and showed promise when fourth of 19 in 6f Cork maiden at the start of the month. Step up in trip should suit and likely to have more to offer.

6/1

Hard Spun filly. Punished for slow start on debut but stayed on well to take fourth at Cork (1m) last month. Drop in trip may not be ideal but entitled to respect on that effort.

6/1

Deep Impact filly and is a half-sister to various winners, most notably juvenile 7f winner Smuggler's Cove. Interesting contender on debut and looks to be the stable's main hope.

£7,500 purchase as a yearling. By a Prix Du Jockey Club winner but pedigree is mediocre at best. Readily opposable.

25/1

Dawn Approach filly. Dam raced once on the track but has a regal pedigree, including closely related to 2008 Derby winner New Approach. Notable if market support.

€6,500 yearling by Rock Of Gibraltar and is a half-sister E Cosi Sia. Dam was a winner over 7f so has a likeable pedigree but up against some classy rivals in this.

CHASING THE DAWN offers some of the most experience in the field and hasn't been disgraced to date, including on her latest start. She should thrive off the step up in trip and should make her experience count against some interesting debutante's. Fancy Blue and Elizabethofaragon have good-looking pedigrees which suggests they could compete at a higher level in time while Elite Craft shaped with promise on her debut and is entitled to come on for that effort, but could be found wanting at this trip.
