3/1
Siyouni filly who made a promising start to her career when third of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 21 days ago, finishing with running left. Definitely more to come.

Modest form in her 2 starts and an outsider here.

Kodiac filly who cost 65,000 gns as a foal. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class 9f-1½m winner Prince Bishop, won Dubai World Cup. Betting should help guide to expectations.

€420,000 Lope de Vega filly who shaped well when second of 12 on 7f Glorious Goodwood debut a month ago. Will improve and leading claims for a yard firing on all cylinders.

9/1, eighth of 11 in novice at Newbury (6f, good) on debut 15 days ago. An entry in the Group 2 Rockfel suggests she's thought capable of better and Oisin Murphy takes the ride again.

Kingman filly. Dam winner up to 1¼m (won Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf, and 2-y-o 7f winner) who stayed 1½m. Interesting newcomer.

16/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Southwell (7f, AW) on debut 13 days ago. Booked for another struggle unless improving significantly for the switch to turf.

12/1, needed experience when seventh of 12 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 12/1) on debut 21 days ago. Should progress but Beautiful Love was ahead of her in third on that occasion.

Price rose from €33,000 as a yearling to 150,000 gns at the breeze-ups. Sioux Nation half-sister to winner abroad by Dandy Man. Represents a leading yard and would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

Forecasts

Classical Song (4/6), Beautiful Love (3/1), Skywoman (10/1), Circe (11/1), Monterosa (11/1), Inherit (18/1), Extraordinaire (33/1), Bramble Jelly (125/1), Mamalouka (150/1)

Verdict

CLASSICAL SONG shaped like a winner in waiting when runner-up on her debut at Glorious Goodwood. The winner of that race was second in a Group 2 in France next time and this daughter of Lope de Vega can strike at the second time of asking. Godolphin's Beautiful Love looks the chief threat unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding newcomers such as Inherit and/or Skywoman.
