Alcohol Free²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 100| D

7/2

Made a successful start at Newbury and useful form when chasing home Happy Romance in Group 3 at Salisbury (6f, good to soft). Still showed signs of greenness that day so likely has more to come.

Form: 12

Dandalla⁷⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 106| D

5/1

Has won all 3 of her starts to date, notably the Albany (by 6 lengths) at Royal Ascot and Duchess of Cambridge Stakes on the July Course. Refreshed by a break since and must be considered.

Form: 111

Happy Romance²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 103| D

11/2

Been a real money-spinner for connections, winning Super Sprint at Newbury and 6f sales race at York. Completed hat-trick with a bit in hand in Group 3 at Salisbury and not to be underestimated.

Form: 615111

Illykato⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: M R Channon| OR: 95| D

40/1

Confirmed debut promise when winning maiden at Windsor and better form in defeat in Group 3 events at Salisbury and Ayr since, albeit behind a few of these. Looks out of her depth at this level.

Form: 2145

Miss Amulet³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: K J Condon| OR: 111| D

5/2

Progressive filly who has made giant strides this season, notably when edging out Sacred in Lowther at York 5 weeks ago. The third home, Umm Kulthum, has since won a Group 3 at Ayr. Leading player.

Form: 741211

Sacred^p1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 108| BF

11/2

Debut winner here and runner-up in 3 Group 2s since, namely Queen Mary at Royal Ascot, Lowther at York (behind Miss Amulet) and Flying Childers at Doncaster. Big player on form and headgear may help.

Form: 1222

Umm Kulthum⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 102| D

9/1

Progressive filly who confirmed the promise of her debut win when chasing home Miss Amulet and Sacred in Lowther at York. Game winner of Group 3 at Ayr last weekend but did have a hard race that day.

Form: 131

Zoetic⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: J Ferguson| OR: 99

50/1

Off mark at fourth attempt in maiden at Wolverhampton before springing a surprise in listed event at Newbury, showing plenty of improvement. However, that form is well short of what is required here.

Forecasts

Miss Amulet (5/2), Alcohol Free (7/2), Dandalla (5/1), Happy Romance (11/2), Sacred (11/2), Umm Kulthum (9/1), Aloha Star (14/1), Illykato (40/1), Zoetic (50/1)

The Lowther Stakes at York, won by MISS AMULET from Sacred and Umm Kulthum, looks the best piece of form on offer, and Miss Amulet is taken to confirm the placings having displayed a good attitude to prevail, on what was her first start over this trip. The unbeaten Dandalla must be respected, while Happy Romance arrives on a roll and is another who can make her presence felt.
