Amanda Hug'n'kiss⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: S C Williams| D

16/1

Confirmed debut promise when readily seeing off 4 rivals at Sandown (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Definitely more to come from her.

Form: 21

(8)

Attagirl²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: K R Burke| OR: 86

14/1

Wootton Bassett filly who easily landed a 6f Haydock maiden last month. Only seventh in 6f Ascot Group 3 since but did travel well long way and retains potential now down at 5f.

Form: 317

(13)

Bella's Pearl¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: W S Kittow| OR: 68| D

200/1

Came good at third time of asking in 5f Lingfield novice 18 days but the level of form she achieved on that occasion is well below the standard required here.

Form: 861

(2)

Bellarena Lady⁷³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 82| D

25/1

Dual 5f winner but came up well short in listed company at York in between and suspicion she'll be vulnerable again stepping back up in class.

Form: 2101

Canonized¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 86| D

9/1

Pretty useful 3-time winner who was also second in listed company at York in May. Another creditable effort when third Goodwood conditions event 16 days ago. In the shake-up.

Form: 912113

(18)

Cotai Beauty⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: J Tate| D

50/1

Made second start a winning one at Lingfield (5f, soft) at the end of June. That form is nothing special but she is open to further progress.

Form: 41

(10)

Delmona^p1⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 101| D

2/1

Winning debut at Bath in June and much better form in defeat since, including third in Super Sprint over C&D. Narrowly denied in Deauville listed in cheekpieces last weekend. Should go well again.

Form: 15332

(15)

Devious Angel¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jane Elliott| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 90| D

25/1

Nippy, straightforward filly who made it 4 wins for the year in 5f Chester nursery 12 days ago. Ought to give another good account of herself.

Form: 201711

(7)

Fearless Angel¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| D

10/1

Strong in the market and duly made a winning start at Pontefract (5f, good) 19 days ago. Should improve, possibly enough to play a prominent role here.

Form: 1

(17)

Flotus³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 92

9/1

Winning debut at Goodwood in May. Back on track after Albany flop when sixth in Duchess Of Cambridge at Newmarket last time and the way she travels suggests 5f will suit.

Form: 106

(14)

Guilded²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: K R Burke| OR: 86

22/1

Fairly useful form, finishing only narrowly behind Delmona when good fourth in Super Sprint over C&D last time, although she did receive 6 lb from Tom Dascombe's charge on that occasion.

Form: 7284

(12)

Kimngrace³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Hughes

14/1

14/1, shaped quite well when fourth of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 14/1) on debut 36 days ago, travelling comfortably long way. Down in trip. Should improve.

Form: 4

(3)

Porsche Cavalier²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: R Brisland| OR: 81| D

18/1

Fourth in 2 maidens in Ireland in the spring and stepped up on those efforts when making a winning start for Robyn Brisland at Sandown (5f) 23 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Amanda Hug'n'kiss.

Form: 441

(6)

Red Showgirl^p1³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 75| D

50/1

Fair form, getting off the mark in 5f Lingfield (AW) novice 32 days ago. Will need to improve a good deal for cheekpieces to follow up here, though.

Form: 021

(4)

Romantic Time¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: W Stone| OR: 78| D

16/1

Stamina in her pedigree but she certainly doesn't lack for speed, winning over 5f at Yarmouth (novice) and Sandown (nursery) on her last 2 outings. This demands more but she is going the right way.

Form: 7311

(19)

Silken Petals¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hayley Turner| T: P J McBride| OR: 85| D

18/1

Gained a deserved first win in 5f York novice last month. Didn't need to improve to follow up at Kempton (5f again) 11 days ago. Likeable type but perhaps vulnerable to progressive types.

Form: 322211

(5)

Tardis³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M L W Bell| OR: 79

11/1

Back on track after a disappointing run at Haydock when running out comfortable winner at Bath (5.7f, good) 31 days ago. Oisin Murphy takes the ride again on this filly who should have more to offer.

Form: 231

Forecasts

Delmona (2/1), Choux (8/1), Canonized (9/1), Flotus (9/1), Fearless Angel (10/1), Tardis (11/1), Attagirl (14/1), Kimngrace (14/1), Romantic Time (16/1), Amanda Hug'n'kiss (16/1), Porsche Cavalier (18/1), Silken Petals (18/1), Guilded (22/1), Bellarena Lady (25/1), Devious Angel (25/1), Dark Tulip (25/1), Red Showgirl (50/1), Cotai Beauty (50/1), Bella's Pearl (200/1)

DELMONA has thrived on a busy spell since her Super Sprint fourth and sets the standard here on her near misses at Group 3/listed level in recent weeks. The way that Flotus travels suggests this drop to 5f should suit so she heads the many possible dangers along with Canonized and the selection's tough stablemate Devious Angel.
