Double Or Bubble¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: C F Wall| OR: 107| BF| D

10/3

Likeable filly who made her breakthrough at listed level when comfortably making all at Pontefract (6f) in August. Just as good when second in Supreme Stakes at Goodwood (7f) 10 days ago. Big player.

Form: 1-19212

Highfield Princess¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 109| D

4/1

First win came off a lowly 58 but has done nothing but improve since, bagging Royal Ascot handicap and listed race at Chelmsford this summer. Best effort yet when second in York Group 2 last time.

Form: 121132

Glesga Gal^b²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 90| D

14/1

Useful filly who made an impressive winning return at Wolverhampton (7.1f) in May. Shaped as if still in good form behind Double Or Bubble at Pontefract last time but this is tougher.

Form: 91-1033

Just Beautiful²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: I Furtado| OR: 110| D

11/4

Won first 4 starts before an excellent sixth in Group 1 Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket in July. Not quite at same level in Deauville Group 3 on latest outing but still the one to beat on best form.

Form: 11-1162

(4)

Loch Lein¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 105| D

18/1

Produced a career best to gain her first win of the year in a listed event at Deauville in July. Ran at least as well in defeat in a Group 3 at Tipperary 13 days go but this asks for more.

Form: 054413

(5)

Meu Amor⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M L W Bell| OR: 100| D

66/1

Useful filly. Bagged Carlisle listed event in good style in June but was well held in the Oak Tree Stakes at Goodwood last time. Has left Ralph Beckett and needs to bounce back.

Form: 42-4310

(12)

Potapova¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 100| D

11/1

Returned with easy 7f Redcar novice win in May. Well held in Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot but confirmed herself a useful filly when fourth in Atalanta Stakes at Sandown. May yet do better.

Form: 1-194

Statement⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: M Meade| OR: 103| BF| D

11/1

Newbury maiden winner last autumn and improved a good deal when just failing in Fred Darling there on reappearance. Underwhelming all 3 starts since, though, so has something to prove at present.

Form: 21-2836

(10)

Sunset Bay²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: E Walker| OR: 92| D

33/1

Sturdy filly who has been thriving this summer, bagging 7f handicaps at Newbury and Sandown. Found only a totally unexposed rival too good at former track last time so worth a shot at this level.

Form: 262112

(8)

Sweet Enough²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 93| D

16/1

Bolted up when winning maiden at Newmarket and has carried on her progression into handicap company, completing the hat-trick at York (7f) 20 days ago. Her limit may not yet have been reached.

Form: 8-52111

(6)

Undertheboardwalk²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: David Egan| T: B J Meehan| D

125/1

Acclamation filly who made a winning start in a 7f novice at Salisbury 17 days ago, but that was an ordinary race, so has plenty to find up in grade.

Form: 1

(11)

Wren's Breath⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H De Bromhead

9/1

Showed much improved form to get off the mark at the second time of asking upped markedly in grade in 5.9f listed event at Naas 49 days ago. Not yet the finished article and open to further progress.

Form: 21

Forecasts

Just Beautiful (11/4), Double Or Bubble (10/3), Highfield Princess (4/1), Wren's Breath (9/1), Statement (11/1), Potapova (11/1), Glesga Gal (14/1), Sweet Enough (16/1), Loch Lein (18/1), Sunset Bay (33/1), Meu Amor (66/1), Undertheboardwalk (125/1)

JUST BEAUTIFUL wasn't quite at her best at Deauville last time, but she can take this if returning to the form she showed when finishing sixth in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket in July. Double Or Bubble is a likeable filly who can continue to give a good account, while Wren’s Breath is not yet the finished article and is open to further improvement over this new trip.
