Cheshire Plain¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

Colour Of Light¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R L Moore| T: C Appleby

10/11

Shamardal filly who shaped with plenty of promise when second of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on debut 16 days ago, just much too green to threaten the easy winner on the day. Sure to progress.

Form: 2

Lexington Liberty¹⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

10/1

Plenty of promise when third of 12 in minor event at Kempton (6f, 7/1) on debut, missing break. Off 162 days. Entitled to sharpen up for the run and this step up in trip should suit.

Form: 3-

(5)

Marsden Cross¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd

100/1

€130,000 yearling, Camelot filly who ran to just a poor level starting out when seventh of 12 in minor event (50/1) at Kempton (8f) on debut 16 days ago. More needed to feature.

Form: 7

(6)

Moonlet¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: J G Portman

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. Raced wide when tenth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 150/1) 16 days ago but needs a huge step forward to trouble the principals here.

Form: 70

Regent¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

11/8

Frankel filly who lost all chance at the start (veered left and very slowly away) when third of 10 in maiden (7/2) at Kempton (7f) on debut 15 days ago. Open to significant improvement upped in trip.

Form: 3

(9)

Thunder Lily¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: M Dwyer| T: S Durack

33/1

Twice-raced maiden. 125/1, showed more over 1f longer trip when third of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 16 days ago, running on late. Looks one for further down the line.

Form: 83

Colour Of Light (10/11), Regent (11/8), Aura Blue (10/1), Lexington Liberty (10/1), Thunder Lily (33/1), Cheshire Plain (80/1), Marsden Cross (100/1), Alchemystique (150/1), Moonlet (200/1)

John Gosden's REGENT got the hang of things as the contest wore on at Kempton just over a fortnight ago, doing her best work late having lost all chance of making a winning debut at the start. With significant improvement on the cards, she's taken to score second-time up. Colour of Light heads up the dangers having also been held back by greenness on debut, ahead of Lexington Liberty.
