Dylan De Vega²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 92| D

14/1

Was successful at Beverley (5f) on the second start of his career but has been unable to follow it up since. He was 10th of 12 last time in a Listed contest at York (5f). Needs to improve to be in the mix at this level.

Form: 210220

Show Me Show Me²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 101| D

6/1

Made a winning start to his career at Doncaster (5f) but it still looking for his second success. He was third of 13 at Goodwood (5f) in a Group 3 race on his penultimate start. A repeat of that performance gives him a good chance here.

Form: 152230

Ickworth⁸⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: W McCreery| OR: 97| D

17/2

Opened her career with back-to-back wins at Dundalk (5f) on the AW and the Curragh (5f) respectively. Came home eighth of 10 last time in a Group 2 contest at the Curragh. This is an easier assignment. One for the shortlist.

40/1

Remains a maiden after eight starts although she has come close on a couple of occasions, including on her penultimate outing when she was second of seven in a maiden at Naas (5f). Was disappointing last time at Newbury (5f). Needs to improve.

18/1

Picked up the second win of her career two runs ago in a handicap contest at Chester (5f), scoring by 2¼L. Was fourth of six on her latest effort at Chester (6f). Back down in trip but others are preferred.

Dr Simpson¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 94| D

10/1

Was successful at Chester (5f) on just her second start and since then she has fared well in her two attempts in a Listed race, including when she was second of 12 at York (5f). Each-way claims at this level.

Isabeau^b³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: L F Roche| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 101| D

7/2

Down Royal (5f) winner on her opening start and since then she has some good form at Group and Listed level. She was second of six on her latest attempt in a Listed race at the Curragh (5f). Leading contender to prevail here.

Form: 10372

Lady Penelope^t²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J P O'Brien| D

3/1

Broke her maiden last time out at Down Royal (5f) in what was her third appearance on the track. She made all on her success in an impressive display. Can't be discounted on her step up in level on the basis of her last performance.

Form: 321

Piece of Paradise^b,t²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Chris Hayes| T: J A Stack| D

16/1

Was successful in a maiden at Tipperary (5f, soft) two runs ago in a 12 runner field. She stepped up in trip last time to finish fourth of 21 at York (6f). Back to the minimum trip here where others are preferred.

Form: 7814

Queen's Order²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: K A Ryan| D

9/1

Started her career with two good runs at Pontefract over 5f where she broke her maiden at the second attempt. She struggled last time in a Group 3 contest at Chantilly as she was at the rear of the eight runner field. Has to be respected.

Form: 218

(3)

She Can Dance²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S H James| T: K A Ryan| OR: 85| D

18/1

Broke her maiden last time on the AW at Chelmsford (5f) in a six runner field in what was her fourth appearance on the track. Needs to produce more on turf from what she has shown so far if she is to be in the mix.

Ventura Flame⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 80| D

25/1

Won a handicap at Carlisle (5f) three runs ago but has been unable to follow that up in two starts since. She was fourth of eight last time at Musselburgh (5f). Others makes more of an appeal at this level.

Forecasts

Lady Penelope (3/1), Isabeau (7/2), Mrs Bouquet (9/2), Show Me Show Me (6/1), Ickworth (17/2), Queen's Order (9/1), Dr Simpson (10/1), Dylan De Vega (14/1), Piece of Paradise (16/1), Dream Kart (18/1), She Can Dance (18/1), Ventura Flame (25/1), American Lady (40/1)

ISABEAU was second in a Listed race over this distance last time and she can go one place better this time in what will be a reward for some consistent performances at this level or above. Ickworth has already prevailed twice in her career and this will be a much easier assignment than her recent Group 2 appearance so expect her to be close by, while Show Me Show Me hit the frame in a Group 3 race two runs back so he should fill the placings here.
