Smart mare who landed York's Duke of York Stakes last May. Shaped well after 10 months off when a fading seventh of 14 to Mill Stream in that corresponding event 9 days ago. Major player with that run under her belt.

Improving Night Of Thunder filly who bagged a pair of Kempton novices before posting an excellent second of 13 to Adaay In Devon in listed race at Bath (5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Likely to improve further so possibilities.

Progressive U S Navy Flag filly who resumed with easy success in 3-runner novice (8/13) at Doncaster (6f, soft) 27 days ago. This is no easy ask but she's capable of better still.

Fairly useful filly who kickstarted 2024 with 6f handicap win at Kempton. Last of 8 to Unequal Love in listed race at Newmarket (6f, good) 20 days ago though so others appeal more.

Useful 6f/7f winner who wasn't disgraced when fourth of 13 to Adaay In Devon in listed race at Bath (5f, good to soft) 35 days ago. No forlorn hope.

15/2
Dark Angel filly who returned with a 5.5f win in Listed event at Chantilly in March. Raced freely and failed to get home when seventh of 10 in Pavilion Stakes at Ascot (6f, good) 23 days ago so needs to settle better here.

Forecasts

Azure Blue (13/8), Electric Storm (9/4), Sophia's Starlight (5/1), Queen Of Zafeen (5/1), Midream (7/1), Raqiya (7/1), Got To Love A Grey (15/2), Thelma's Angel (14/1), Gutsy Girl (14/1), Premiere Beauty (80/1)

Verdict

AZURE BLUE possesses much the best form on show and teed herself up well for this when a recent seventh in the Duke of York after an absence so is impossible to oppose. Queen of Zafeen (second choice) and Electric Storm both have better days ahead of them and appeal as the two to chase home Michael Dods' smart mare.
