(1)

Wasaayef⁶⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Dane O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

11/8

580,000 gns yearling. After a narrow defeat on debut at Kempton (7f, Polytrack), she duly obliged on the July Course (7f, good to firm) in fine style two months ago. Yard in great form, have a good record in this race and she has the best form.

Form: 21

(6)

Al Gaiya¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

50/1

Sent off at 20/1 on debut when finishing last of eight at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago. Was always in rear that day and although the yard's juveniles do improve for a run, she'll need a big step forward.

Form: 8

(4)

Bharani Star¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

10/1

Showed some promise on debut at Ascot (1m, good to firm) two weeks ago to finish well in fifth, after being wide throughout. Yard's only two-year-old winner this year came on second start and improved effort can be expected.

Form: 5

(8)

Corazonada

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: I Mohammed & J Santos

33/1

Cost 30,000 gns earlier this year. She is the first foal of unraced dam. Stable have a less than 4% strike-rate in the last five years (5-147) with juveniles and she is best watched unless the market speaks in her favour.

Form:

(2)

Golden Pass

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: H Palmer

5/1

150,000 gns yearling. By Golden Horn, her dam won three races including the UAE 1,000 Guineas. Yard are ticking over nicely with their two-year-olds in recent weeks, including with winning newcomers, and she shouldn't be overlooked.

Form:

(9)

Loco Dempsey³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon

50/1

A daughter of Cityscape, she has had two runs thus far. Neither performance showed a great deal, beaten 19L on debut at Windsor (6f, good) and 14L at Doncaster (1m, soft). May find handicaps easier in due course.

Form: 06

(7)

Queen Daenerys⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: R Varian

5/4

A $500,000 daughter of Frankel who is related to eight winners. She shaped well on debut at Ascot (7f, good to firm) 57 days ago to finish second, beaten 3½L, after missing the break. The extra furlong here should suit and she is a big player.

Form: 2

(3)

Theydon Bagel

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck

100/1

A cheap purchase (1,500 gns foal), she is out of a mare who won six races (7f-1m2f) for this trainer. The yard haven't had a juvenile runner since 2015 and would be a surprise winner.

Form:

(5)

Theydon Louboutin

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A McCarthy| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck

100/1

Another cheap purchase (2,500 gns foal) she is a first foal whose dam won three races over 6f/7f. Yard's last two-year-old runner in 2015 did win but second time out, so she is best watched today.

Form:

Forecasts

Queen Daenerys (5/4), Wasaayef (11/8), Golden Pass (5/1), Bharani Star (10/1), Corazonada (33/1), Al Gaiya (50/1), Loco Dempsey (50/1), Theydon Louboutin (100/1), Theydon Bagel (100/1)

Trainer John Gosden has a good record in this race in recent years and WASAAYEF is the one to beat on her winning form on the other course here. A promising debut at Ascot from Queen Daenerys marks her out as the main danger whilst Bharani Star showed some ability on her first outing recently and should come on for the experience.
