Cell Sa Beela²¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R L Moore| T: R Varian| OR: 96| D

11/1

Improved to make her breakthrough at listed level when winning 10-runner event at Ascot (7f, good to firm) by head from Breege when last seen 7 months ago, narrowly holding off stronger finishers in the dying strides. Back up in grade so will need more on reappearance.

Form: 40/0831-

Many Tears^t³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 95| D

50/1

Showed much improved form to overcome the rise in class in listed event at Dundalk in November. First run since leaving G. M. Lyons (300,000 gns) when 3¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Adelaise in listed race at Kempton (8f, 6/1) 5 weeks ago. Back down in trip.

Form: 75131-7

Remarquee²⁸⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: R M Beckett| OR: 110| BF| DWS

6/5

Won her first 2 starts, edging ahead late in Fred Darling on 2023 return. Firmly back on track when length second to Tahiyra in Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and ran respectably on both Group 1 starts the following month. Not seen since, but she looks the one to beat (has had a wind op).

Form: 1/10224-

Sirona¹⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Menuisier| OR: 95| D

22/1

Never involved when 7½ lengths eighth of 9 to Fast Raaj in listed race (17/1) at Deauville (7f) 6 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Johnston. Looks up against it.

Form: 028518-

Stenton Glider⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Davies| T: H Palmer| OR: 99| D

15/2

Too free out in front to match her Cape Verdi effort when 10¾ lengths sixth of 7 to English Rose in Balanchine (25/1) at Meydan (9f, good) in February. Back down in trip and she'll need to settle better back on home soil.

Form: 0220-36

Vetiver^h,t⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 97| D

14/1

Three wins, notably a 7f Carlisle listed event on soft ground last June. Showed she can mix it in good handicaps when 2½ lengths fifth of 20 to The Gatekeeper in Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) final outing but ran poorly after 5 months off at Doncaster in March. Will need to leave that behind.

Form: 14135-0

Born To Rock²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Laura Pearson| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 96

20/1

Made a winning start in maiden at Yarmouth (5.2f) last May. Struggled in a listed race at Sandown on her next start (sent off 6/4) but fared much better when 4½ lengths sixth of 10 to Pretty Crystal in Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket (7f) on return. Another step forward needed.

Form: 15-6

(9)

Great Generation³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 100

10/3

Won her first 2 starts last summer and made the frame for the second time in pattern company without seriously troubling the principals when 3 lengths fourth of 7 to Romantic Style in Prix Imprudence at Deauville (7f, heavy, 22/1) last month. Can build on that.

Form: 112-4

(6)

Les Bleus³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: R Hughes| OR: 94

14/1

Was quite highly tried at 2 yrs and ran creditably on her first start since September when fourth of 5 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 13/2) 5 weeks ago. Back on turf and others look stronger.

Form: 13433-4

Forecasts

Remarquee (6/5), Great Generation (10/3), Stenton Glider (15/2), Cell Sa Beela (11/1), Vetiver (14/1), Les Bleus (14/1), Born To Rock (20/1), Sirona (22/1), Many Tears (50/1)

Judged on how she acquitted herself in a handful of Group 1s last year, REMARQUEE is strongly fancied to notch a third career success providing she's fully tuned up on reappearance. The obvious danger looks to be Great Generation, who made the frame for the second time in pattern company last month and is open to further improvement. Stenton Glider will need to settle better, but she can edge out Cell Sa Beela for third.
