66/1

Dam unraced half-sister to Eclipse Stakes and King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes winner Nathaniel. Different proposition when making second start a winning one in October. Pitched in deep.

Mystery Angel¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: G Boughey| OR: 100| D

6/1

Won twice and placed in Group 3 and a couple of listed events at 2 yrs. Better than ever when landing 8-runner listed race at Newmarket 10 days ago and demands respect on that form.

Form: 22-2251

Noon Star¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 98| D

11/10

Galileo filly out of Midday from superb Juddmonte family. Picked up where she left off in the autumn with victory in novice company over this trip at Wetherby, strong at line. Will go on improving.

Form: 31-1

Quiet Assassin²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Davis| T: A Keatley| OR: 88

150/1

Beverley winner on debut in August but has essentially had her limitations exposed since. Impossible to fancy up in trip.

18/1

Frankel filly who finished runner-up first 2 starts before making most of good opportunity in Redcar novice (1m) in October. Disappointing reappearance and this a hard race to bounce back in. Hooded.

Form: 221-7

Snowfall²¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 90

14/1

Curragh maiden winner in July (7f). Campaigned exclusively in Group company after, only to seemingly have her shortcomings exposed. Up in trip and dangerous to rule out a runner for these connections.

Teona¹⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 95| D

15/8

Shaped very promisingly when runner-up to another good prospect on debut at Newcastle in October and she landed the odds in ready fashion back there 3 weeks later. Open to significant progress.

Forecasts

Noon Star (11/10), Teona (15/8), Mystery Angel (6/1), Snowfall (14/1), Auria (16/1), Senita (18/1), Glenartney (66/1), Quiet Assassin (150/1)

A feature of the superbly-bred NOON STAR's victories has been her strength at the finish and she is taken to enhance her Oaks credentials with victory in this trial. While not achieving as much in form terms, Teona is a smashing prospect and is a shorter price for Epsom glory, so she commands the utmost respect, along with Mystery Angel.
