11/1

Useful filly. Course winner. Career best when winning 15-runner listed race (13/2) at Naas (8f, heavy) by 1¾ lengths from Good Gracious. Off 9 months but won't be far away if fully tuned-up for this assignment.

Useful filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, 10¾ lengths last of 7 to Mutasarref in Ballycorus Stakes at this course (7.2f, good to soft, 25/1) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

6/1

Useful filly. 18/1 and visored for 1st time, respectable eleventh of 30 in handicap at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

Jancis²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W J Lee| T: W McCreery| CD

11/2

Won 14-runner maiden at this course (7.2f, good to soft, 40/1) on debut 28 days ago, impressively. This is much tougher but she's completely unexposed.

Form: 1

Red Viburnum¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Chris Hayes| T: D K Weld| OR: 103

7/2

Thrice-raced winner. Won 11-runner maiden at Naas (8f, good, 4/9) 15 days ago, kept up to work. Her 2-y-o form stacks up very well and there should be more to come from this daughter of Frankel.

Form: 35-1

Forecasts

Special Wan (9/4), Red Viburnum (7/2), Jancis (11/2), Everlasting (6/1), Wendla (13/2), Jumbly (7/1), Curvature (11/1), Bluedrum (14/1), Thornbrook (25/1), Pink Sorrel (50/1)

RED VIBURNUM confirmed the promise she showed in two starts last season when landing the odds on her recent seasonal reappearance in a Naas maiden. With the promise of better to come from this well-bred filly, she gets the nod ahead of Special Wan, who was just touched off in the Ballycorus Stakes here last month and she appears to be improving with racing. Jancis did the job well on debut in a C&D maiden and she's a fascinating contender, while an on-song Jumbly would be a threat.
