Dancing Vega²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 89| C

25/1

Made an impressive winning debut in 1m maiden at this course in 2018 but she's never really kicked on from it and struggled in a York handicap last time.

Form: 1/097-29

(13)

Foxtrot Lady³²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: A M Balding| OR: 97

18/1

Useful mare who arrives on the back of a respectable fifth to Veracious in listed company at Haydock. She's likely to be outclassed by a few, however.

Form: 6-45335

(3)

Invitational⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 98| D

12/1

Won 7f conditions event at Wolverhampton in January and better than position suggests in pattern company on turf the last twice, so not completely ruled out for all she has something to find.

Form: 621-186

(4)

Jubiloso⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 108| BF| D

7/1

Well-bred filly who burst on the scene last year, placed in the Coronation Stakes on just her third outing. Hasn't gone on from that (seemed amiss on return) but strong claims if back on track.

Form: 11337-0

(5)

Lyzbeth⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: M Meade| OR: 98| CD

10/1

Suited by drop back to 6f when registering an improved effort to take Goodwood listed event on return and not discredited when sixth in Summer Stakes at York subsequently. Needs more.

Form: 1090-16

(11)

Mubtasimah⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 105| D

13/2

Produced areer best when winning listed race at Newbury on return and was on the back foot early when only fourth in similar event at Chelmsford next time. Can get back on track after a break.

Form: 1663-14

(10)

Althiqa²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 104| D

7/2

Useful filly who gained her third success when scoring narrowly in 7f Deauville listed event in July. Good placed efforts in better company since and should be thereabouts once again.

Form: 1-13132

(12)

Bounce The Blues¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 99| D

17/2

Vastly progressive for John Feane in Ireland, finishing strongly from rear to score cosily in a listed event at Naas 17 days ago. More to come for new yard, so warrants strong consideration.

Form: 4611

(8)

Celtic Beauty³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 95

100/1

Fairly useful filly who was back on track when mid-field in a listed event at Deauville a month ago but doesn't really have any business in this company.

Form: 717-606

(14)

Cloak Of Spirits²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Hannon| OR: 107| D

4/1

Useful at 2 yrs and ran a fine race when 4¼ lengths second to Love in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on return. Hard to knock her consistency in trio of starts since and drop back to 7f will hold no fears.

Form: 63-2523

(2)

Crispina²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 80

150/1

Made a great start for this stable when powering away at Doncaster in June but was tailed off subsequently and looks way short of the standard required to compete in this.

Form: 0-10

(9)

Gypsy Whisper^p³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Watson| T: D Menuisier| OR: 90| D

25/1

On a roll at the moment, completing a double at Sandown last month in cosy fashion, albeit with first run on the second. Going the right way but requires a much bigger step forward to feature in this.

Form: 14-4411

(15)

Jouska²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: H Candy| OR: 97

40/1

Useful filly who was well positioned when second to Stormy Girl in a listed event at Pontefract last time and doesn't have much scope for further improvement. Others preferred.

Form: 1453-72

(1)

Onassis¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 99| D

9/1

Returned with Sandringham Handicap success at Royal Ascot. Added to her tally in Chantilly listed event in July but couldn't land a blow upped to this level at Sandown. Unlikely to feature.

Form: 51-1417

(7)

Stormy Girl²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cam Hardie| T: R Menzies| OR: 101

25/1

Bounced back with a career best to land a listed race at Pontefract last time, albeit seen to good effect from the front. Will be tough to repeat the feat up in grade on a more galloping track.

Form: 55-4481

Forecasts

Althiqa (7/2), Cloak Of Spirits (4/1), Mubtasimah (13/2), Jubiloso (7/1), Bounce The Blues (17/2), Onassis (9/1), Lyzbeth (10/1), Invitational (12/1), Foxtrot Lady (18/1), Stormy Girl (25/1), Dancing Vega (25/1), Gypsy Whisper (25/1), Jouska (40/1), Celtic Beauty (100/1), Crispina (150/1)

BOUNCE THE BLUES on a steep upward curve and can make a successful transition to this higher grade having joined Andrew Balding from John Feane since her cosy success in a Naas listed event. Jubiloso and Mubtasimah have achieved more than the selection but need to bounce back from poor displays.
