Useful filly. 51/10, 6½ lengths eleventh of 12 to Game Run in Prix du Gros-Chene at Chantilly (5f, good to firm) 77 days ago, very slowly away. Back up in trip. Progressive before that and can bounce back.

Forecasts

Gale Force Maya (3/1), Funny Story (10/3), Kitai (9/2), Another Romance (13/2), Believing (8/1), Demi Pointe (10/1), The Big Board (12/1), Rage Of Bamby (12/1), Glenlaurel (14/1), Craft Irish (16/1), Princess Shabnam (18/1), Al Simmo (25/1), Samedi Rien (28/1), Glorious Angel (80/1)

Verdict

GALE FORCE MAYA bounced back to form when third in the Summer Stakes at York and a reproduction of that form may well prove good enough. Believing had excuses in a Group 2 in France so can be expected to bounce back despite her 5 lb penalty, while Demi Pointe is an interesting contender back from an absence given how the form of her novice win at Chelmsford has worked out.
