Sandrine⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 109| D

6/5

Unbeaten in 3 starts, notably in Albany at Royal Ascot and Group 2 at Newmarket, winning both in good style. Timeform's joint highest-rated juvenile filly and the one to beat.

Form: 111

Desert Dreamer²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 103| BF| D

5/1

Bounced back from Queen Mary flop with fine runner-up efforts returned to 6f, splitting Sandrine and Hello You in Newmarket Group 2 before caught on line by Zain Claudette in Ascot Group 3. Respected.

Dreams Of Thunder²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Barry McHugh| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 74

100/1

265,000 gns purchase at the breeze-ups but has achieved just fair form in 3 defeats over 5f, albeit not knocked about at Windsor last time. Has a mountain to climb in this company.

Form: 332

Hello You^h1⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 102| D

15/2

Created an excellent impression when winning at Wolverhampton. Built on that promise when placed in the Albany at Royal Ascot and Group 2 at Newmarket. Has since left Ralph Beckett. Hooded.

Form: 123

Misty Ayr³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 94

40/1

Very green behind Illustrating on debut but improved her rating plenty in Queen Mary and Tipperary listed race. Made to work quite hard to land odds of 1/8 at Hamilton since, however.

Form: 3921

Nazanin²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 91| D

16/1

Landed a gamble on debut at Newbury over this trip and advanced her form when fourth behind Zain Claudette and Desert Dreamer in Princess Margaret. Could have more to offer after just 2 runs.

Form: 14

(2)

Nymphadora²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 90| C

18/1

Improved a chunk to win 5f listed race here in May but was some way below that form in Queen Mary and Molecomb Stakes. Needs the return to the Knavesmire and longer trip to spark a revival.

Form: 6104

(9)

Outside World²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: C & M Johnston| CD

11/1

Has made a promising start, just failing on debut before making all in good style in a C&D novice event last month. Her classy dam opened her account in this race in 2007 and of interest at big odds.

Form: 21

Vertiginous¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: B J Meehan| OR: 89| BF

33/1

Well backed but proved green when second on debut at Bath. Left that form well behind when fifth in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot but failed to land the odds at Kempton since.

Form: 252

(7)

Zain Claudette²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson| T: I Mohammed| OR: 98| D

6/1

Built on a promising debut to win 6f Newmarket maiden and took a big step forward when following up in Group 3 at Ascot, nailing Desert Dreamer in the final stride. More to come.

Form: 211

Forecasts

Sandrine (6/5), Desert Dreamer (5/1), Zain Claudette (6/1), Illustrating (7/1), Hello You (15/2), Outside World (11/1), Nazanin (16/1), Nymphadora (18/1), Vertiginous (33/1), Misty Ayr (40/1), Dreams Of Thunder (100/1)

ILLUSTRATING impressed with the way she put the race to bed at Goodwood and there is more to come from her over this extra furlong. She is the value call over Sandrine, who is Timeform’s joint highest-rated juvenile filly and saw off Desert Dreamer and Hello You easily in the Duchess of Cambridge at Newmarket. Princess Margaret winner Zain Claudette is another to consider.
