Arizona Desert^t1²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: Alice Haynes| BF

5/1

Backed into 5/4 on debut when third of 9 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) 27 days ago, slowly away and raced in a less-than-ideal part of the track. Tongue strap on and surely has more to offer.

Form: 3

Bellarchi¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 69

10/3

Another sound effort when second of 5 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good) 11 days ago. Looks ready for 6f.

Form: 38332

Dear Mary¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65

28/1

Outran 100/1 odds when fourth at Carlisle last month but pretty disappointing when seventh of 8 in novice event at Hamilton (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago.

Form: 047

Geologist¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss A Murphy

8/13

Knew what was required when runner-up at Redcar in May. Fared as well as could be expected when 8¼ lengths twelfth of 26 to Crimson Advocate in Queen Mary Stakes (40/1) at Royal Ascot (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Leading claims down in class.

Form: 20

Loubiere⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: R Menzies

40/1

Merely matched debut form when sixth of 7 in maiden at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 7 days ago, though she wasn't ideally placed.

Form: 76

Carnaby Princess⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

14/1

Showed a bit more than on debut when seventh of 10 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm, 28/1) 9 days ago, met some trouble when making a forward move.

Form: 57

Nevzilla

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: Craig Lidster

25/1

Foaled March 17. Kodiac filly. Dam maiden (stayed 8.5f), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Ahlaain.

Roswood²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey

100/1

Little in the way of promise when eleventh of 13 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, soft) on debut 21 days ago.

Forecasts

Geologist (8/13), Bellarchi (10/3), Arizona Desert (5/1), Catton Lady (7/1), Carnaby Princess (14/1), Nevzilla (25/1), Dear Mary (28/1), Loubiere (40/1), Roswood (100/1)

Having found only one too good on debut, GEOLOGIST fared about as well as could be expected when mid-field in the Queen Mary. Eased markedly in class and returned to 6f, she looks the answer, with Bellarchi and Arizona Desert feared most.
