Off time: 15:01 | Winning time: 2m 12.99s

(8)

Long Ago²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute| D

5/4

Different proposition on second start when winning 15-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, suited by increase in trip. In the right hands to progress.

Form: 9-1

(7)

Elegancia^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 90

13/2

Fared as well as could be expected when 9¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Al Asifah in listed race (16/1) at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Sets a good standard back in a novice.

Form: 5-44

(3)

Mistressofillusion²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

8/1

Still rough around the edges when 5¼ lengths third of 15 to Long Ago in minor event (40/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago. May well do better.

Form: 7-3

(5)

Queen Emma¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

3/1

No chance with a pretty useful one but beat the rest comfortably in 10-runner minor event (4/1) at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Likely there's more to come.

Form: 62

(1)

Rouen⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute

20/1

Showed more than on debut when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (10f, good, 33/1) 55 days ago. Likely one to flourish in handicaps.

Form: 0-5

(4)

Sabriel

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: K P De Foy

28/1

Second foal, dam, unraced, out of unraced sister to Yesterday (Irish 1000 Guineas winner), Quarter Moon (Moyglare Stud Stakes winner) and All My Loving, all at least smart and also placed in Oaks.

Form:

(6)

So Farhh So Good^h⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| BF

13/2

Merely matched debut form when fourth of 5 in maiden at Ascot (10f, soft, 15/8) 48 days ago.

Form: 4-4

Non-Runners

Daliso

Weight: 9-2| Age: 3

T: S Kirk J: Charlie Bennett

Forecasts

Long Ago (5/4), Queen Emma (3/1), Elegancia (13/2), So Farhh So Good (13/2), Mistressofillusion (8/1), Rouen (20/1), Daliso (25/1), Sabriel (28/1)

LONG AGO left her debut run well behind when landing a 15-runner AW novice 3 weeks ago and she couldn't be in better hands to progress. Defying a penalty against the likes of Elegancia, Mistressofillusion and Queen Emma will be no formality but she may well be up to the job.
