2/1

Half-sister to high-class winner Pyledriver and looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut at Ascot (10f, soft) a month ago, hitting the line strongly and overcoming pace bias in the race. Can score again with this step up in trip to suit.

10/1

Well-related filly who left her debut form behind after 8 months off when fourth of 10 in minor event at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 18 days ago, faring best of the trio that had run before. Can give another good account upped further in trip.

Forecasts

Truthful (10/11), Shagpyle (2/1), Fifth Harmonic (17/2), Montevideo (10/1), La Belle Aurore (25/1)

Half-sister to high-class winner Pyledriver, SHAGPYLE looked a potentially smart prospect herself when overcoming the run of the race to make a winning debut at Ascot last month, finishing strongly, so she can make it 2 from 2 as she goes up in trip. Truthful also made a winning start and isn't taken lightly, while Montevideo can give another good account.
