Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Bannister| T: J & S Best

28/1

Only sixth at Kempton first time out and, while she' open to improvement, this looks a stiff task.

Form: 6

Birdhouse⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds

8/1

Related to winners on the Flat but only midfield at Ascot first time out.

Form: 7

Mistral Milly⁵¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King

9/2

Out of a bumper winner and offered plenty to work on when fourth at Ascot on debut. Open to improvement and this race looks weaker.

Form: 4

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Mitchell Bastyan| T: S Hodgson

22/1

4,000 gns 3-y-o, Postponed filly. Dam unraced. Wears hood. Others make more appeal.

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: Mr Eddie Edge⁽¹⁰⁾| T: L Wadham

11/4

40,000 gns 3-y-o, Golden Horn filly. Closely related to 2 winners on Flat, including smart 1½m/1¾m winner Eagles By Day. Should have enough speed to make an impact.

Forecasts

Young At Heart (11/4), Mistral Milly (9/2), Scarlet O'Tara (13/2), Mistral Blue (13/2), Omaha Wish (7/1), Birdhouse (8/1), Floating Line (9/1), Sholokhov Cocktail (10/1), Lady Caro (11/1), Star For A Day (22/1), Solid As A Rock (28/1), Lady Plumton (100/1)

MISTRAL MILLY shaped well at Ascot first time out and should improve, so she's preferred to Omaha Wish, while Floating Line looks the pick of the newcomers.
