33/1

Won 3 times at Pattern level last season in Germany, including Group 3s at Milan/Hoopegarten. Did well at big odds from a lofty mark on yard debut (sold €200,000) when eighth of 19 in handicap at Royal Ascot on return 2 weeks ago and not taken lightly with headgear back on.

Form: 11127-8

Lady Boba²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 104| D

4/1

Improving filly who landed Fontainebleau listed event to end 2023. Excellent comeback when only just failing to peg back Queen of The Pride in Pinnacle Stakes at this C&D (good to firm) 4 weeks ago and likely to make another bold bid.

Form: 3/2121-2

Novus^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 106

33/1

Smart filly who progressed throughout last term, winning 3 times. Enhanced her excellent Goodwood record when edged out late on at listed level in May. Conditions against her at Royal Ascot since. Stamina to prove up in trip and opposable unless ground turns soft.

Form: 141-720

Queen Of The Pride²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 105| CD

10/3

Beautifully-bred filly who won the Group 3 Pinnacle Stakes over this C&D on only her fourth-career start 4 weeks, just holding off Lady Boba and clear of rest. Has the scope to improve again and big shout for trainer who has won this a record 9 times.

Form: 81-21

Sea Theme²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 99| BF| D

6/1

Looked a smart prospect when landing good York listed event over this trip last summer. Final run easily excused (sweated up) and shaped as if needing the run when 2½ lengths fourth of 13 to Queen of The Pride in Pinnacle Stakes at this C&D (good to firm) on return. Better expected now.

Form: 3119-4

Sweet Memories²⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 105| D

8/1

Came a long way in a short space of time last summer, winning 1½m listed event on July course before second in Group 3 company on the Rowley Mile. Ran no sort of race final start but type to bounce back at 4 yrs.

Form: 4/1120-

Tiffany⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 109

85/40

Progressive filly who made it 6 wins from her last 7 starts in 14-runner Group 3 Hoppings Fillies' Stakes at Newcastle (10.2f) 8 days ago, taking the step up in class in her stride. Further improvement forthcoming and strong claims.

Form: 1121-11

Forest Fairy³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98| D

16/1

Waldgeist filly who looked a good prospect when winning first 2 starts, notably when beating subsequent Ribblesdale winner Port Fairy in the Cheshire Oaks. However, was in trouble a fair way out when failing to repeat that effort in the Oaks at Epsom and needs to resume progress.

Form: 117

Forecasts

Tiffany (85/40), Queen Of The Pride (10/3), Lady Boba (4/1), Sea Theme (6/1), Sweet Memories (8/1), Forest Fairy (16/1), Novus (33/1), Kolossal (33/1)

TIFFANY took the step up to Group 3 level in her stride when running out a comfortable winner from a host of useful fillies in a Group 3 at Newcastle last week and can make it 7 wins from her last 8 starts. There was little between Queen of The Pride and Lady Boba when 1-2 in the Pinnacle Stakes over C&D last month and are obvious threats.
