Carolina Reaper²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: C Johnston| OR: 88| CD

9/2

Beaten only just over 2 lengths into sixth in the Chesham at Royal Ascot on her second start and made no mistake back in maiden company over C&D (good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Represents the same connections as last year's winner Lakota Sioux.

Form: 461

Cry Fiction¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: J G Portman| OR: 91

28/1

Made a winning debut over 6f at Windsor in May and found a good chunk of improvement when second in a 6f course listed race next time. Only sixth of 10 in the Princess Margaret at Ascot since but she does leave the impression 7f will suit.

Form: 126

(7)

Fallen Angel¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| OR: 97| D

9/4

Too Darn Hot filly who won on 7f Haydock debut in May and confirmed she's a useful prospect when ½-length second of 9 to Shuwari in 7f Sandown listed race 2 months later, with the reopposing Soprano a length back in third. Likely capable of better again and the one to beat.

Form: 12

Jabaara⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

17/2

Looked a fine prospect when justifying favouritism on her 6f Rowley Course debut in May. Unable to get competitive in the Albany at Royal Ascot but given a bit of time since and no surprise were she to make a much bigger impact at Group 3 level this time.

Form: 10

(5)

Les Bleus¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| C

40/1

Blue Point filly who left her 5f Sandown debut in May well behind when seeing off 13 rivals in a 6f novice here a fortnight ago. There's likely more to come but this is a hike in grade.

Form: 61

(1)

Queen's Reign⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: E Walker| CD

11/1

Confirmed debut promise when comfortably landing a C&D maiden in June. This a jump in class but she looks capable of better.

Form: 31

(2)

Soprano¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: G Boughey| OR: 102| BF

4/1

Won on Rowley Course debut. Excellent third of 17 in Albany at Royal Ascot next time but she finished a length behind the reopposing Fallen Angel when third in a 7f Sandown listed race since. Needs to get back to the Ascot form.

Form: 133

(8)

Wild Goddess^h²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| CD

7/2

Camelot filly who was held back by inexperience on her Haydock debut and was duly all the sharper when a 4-length winner over C&D last month. Has to be considered a useful prospect for her top stable.

Form: 41

Forecasts

Fallen Angel (9/4), Wild Goddess (7/2), Soprano (4/1), Carolina Reaper (9/2), Jabaara (17/2), Queen's Reign (11/1), Cry Fiction (28/1), Les Bleus (40/1)

FALLEN ANGEL is taken to confirm last month's Sandown superiority over Soprano and provide in-form Karl Burke with another winner. Best of the remainder could be Godolphin's Wild Goddess who ran out an easy winner of a C&D novice 3 weeks ago and looks capable of making her mark in a higher grade.
