1/1

Impressive debut win at Newmarket in April and ran out a decisive winner of Group 2 Queen Mary at Royal Ascot (both 5f). Way she responded that day suggests 6f will unlock more and she's very much the one to beat.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 105| BF| D

5/1

Taking winning debut at Newmarket (6f) and backed it up with good 1¾ lengths second of 16 to Meditate in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot. Went one place better in Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge Stakes and that puts her right in the mix.

Form: 121

Desert Illusion²¹

300/1

Has done nothing in 4 starts to think she's anywhere near this level.

Glenlaurel²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan| OR: 88| D

50/1

Created a good impression when scoring easily on 6f Thirsk debut in June, sealing things quickly with an impressive turn of foot. Found Group 3 company a bit too much at Ascot and this is no easier but capable of better at some point.

Form: 16

Kerindia¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: M L W Bell

25/1

Sales price increased as a 2-y-o and she overcame greenness to make a winning debut at Nottingham last month (5f). Left bare form of that well behind when ¾ lengths third of 10 to The Antarctic in Prix de Cabourg at Deauville (6f) 16 days ago.

Form: 13

Kinta²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey| OR: 101| D

13/2

Justified favouritism in a brace of 6f AW novice events and better form switched to turf when 1-length second of 9 to Lezoo in Princess Margaret Stakes at Ascot (6f) a month ago. Worth a go at this level.

Form: 112

Lady Hollywood²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 103

10/1

Lot to like about her progress over 5f, completing hat-trick in listed company at Naas a month ago. Limit may not have been reached but wouldn't be crying out for 6f given she looks all speed.

Form: 24111

Lady Tilbury²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: D Marnane| OR: 89

66/1

Maiden/novice winner over 5f in May but limitations rather exposed up in class since. Step up to 6f will suit, at least.

Form: 21104

Maria Branwell³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: D O'Meara| OR: 100| BF

22/1

Won her first two outings, then upped her form to finish an excellent third in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Looked the form pick going into the Super Sprint but she was disappointing and now goes up in distance.

Form: 1138

Matilda Picotte¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: K P Cotter| OR: 97| D

11/1

Displayed plenty of zip fitted with cheekpieces for debut when landing 14-runner 6f maiden at the Curragh in May. Similar form since and is clearly all speed but could be found wanting late at this level.

Form: 1432

(12)

Queen Me⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| D

20/1

Bred to be smart and justified favouritism in 7-runner maiden at Haydock last month. Bare form nothing to shout about but she's open to lots of progress.

Form: 1

(2)

Sweet Harmony¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Spencer| D

50/1

Still not the finished article but landed 14-runner maiden at Yarmouth a fortnight ago. Huge leap needed in form terms to trouble a few of these.

Form: 51

Swingalong¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 83| D

25/1

Left previous form well behind when an easy winner of 11-runner novice at Ripon 17 days ago. This is a different assignment but she's promising.

Form: 241

Forecasts

Dramatised (1/1), Mawj (5/1), Kinta (13/2), Lady Hollywood (10/1), Matilda Picotte (11/1), Queen Me (20/1), Maria Branwell (22/1), Swingalong (25/1), Kerindia (25/1), Miami Girl (25/1), Glenlaurel (50/1), Sweet Harmony (50/1), Lady Tilbury (66/1), Desert Illusion (300/1)

DRAMATISED was very strong at the finish when supplementing her debut win in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot so there has to be a good chance that 6f will unlock even more. She certainly hasn't been missed in the market but it's hard to escape her claims. Mawj also has a Group 2 penalty to concede but is the main form rival, with Kerindia the pick of those at longer odds.
