260,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart winner up to 16.2f Nayef Road and useful 1m winner Middle East. Dam 5f-7f winner. 8/1, seventh of 11 in maiden at Kempton (6f) on debut 30 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Should have more to offer.

210,000 gns Wootton Bassett filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1½m Star Terms out of smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Best Terms. Badly in need of the experience when fourth of 11 in maiden (10/3) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) on debut 16 days ago, not knocked about. Should improve.

Forecasts

Jewel Of London (11/4), Shining Pearl (3/1), Renewal (7/2), Celestial Orbit (9/2), Tutu Star (17/2), Li Ban (12/1)

JEWEL OF LONDON sets a decent standard having finished fourth in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot 2 weeks ago. Shining Pearl showed plenty of ability at Thirsk and is sure to improve, so rates the main threat, though Renewal and Celestial Orbit also showed something to work on starting out.
