Ellaria Sand²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 77| D

50/1

Off the mark at the second attempt in Newbury novice. Similar form under a penalty when placed at Yarmouth next 2 starts and has since left Archie Watson. Stiff task at this level.

Form: 4123

Englemere²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 94

11/2

Won 5f maiden/novice events at Catterick and Carlisle in the spring. Back to winning ways with a narrow success in listed race at Newbury last month and not disgraced when fourth of 6 in Group 3 at Longchamp since. Player up in trip.

Form: 110214

Grande Marques¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: J A Stack| OR: 91| D

7/1

Showed improved form to get off the mark at the fifth attempt in minor event at Navan 2 weeks ago but will find this a lot more competitive.

Form: 35741

Guns Firing⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: R A Fahey| D

33/1

180,000 gns yearling, New Bay filly. Sister to smart winner up to 7f Jumby and half-sister to several winners, including 6f-1m winner Conflict. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Confirmed debut promise to win 4-runner novice at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 7/4) 63 days ago but more needed here.

Form: 31

Handcuffed⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 89| D

22/1

Readily justified market confidence on her Newbury debut in July and better form in defeat since, though limitations were twice exposed at this level.

Form: 1747

It Ain't Two¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: H Palmer| OR: 95| D

12/1

Has been kept busy this year, recording her third success from 9 starts when making all in 6-runner conditions stakes at Chester (6.1f, good to firm, 7/2). However, never involved after a slow start in Group 3 at Kempton following week and vulnerable to improvers.

Form: 292618

Li Ban¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Raphael Freire| OR: 88| D

12/1

Off the mark at Thirsk in July and has run well in defeat since, 2½ lengths fifth of 10 in Sirenia Stakes (28/1) at Kempton (6f) 14 days ago. Likely to find a few too strong again, however.

Form: 231325

Maw Lam⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 97

28/1

Useful filly who scored on her first run at Thirsk in May and better form in defeat next 4 starts, including when third in Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. Lacklustre display in in Flying Childers Stakes (22/1) at Doncaster last week but this easier.

Form: 123539

Perfect Part³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 95

25/1

Shock winner of the Hilary Needler at Beverley on debut in June. Built on that at the third attempt when 3½ lengths fifth of 9 in Lowther Stakes (50/1) at York last month, suited by the step up to 6f. Not taken lightly back down in class.

Form: 1245

(13)

Royalty Bay²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 96| BF| D

18/1

Cost six figures at the Breeze-Ups and scored readily in 6f novices at Ripon and York. Advanced her form when head second of 6 to Angeal in Prix Six Perfections at Deauville (7f, good) but not in same form in Group 3 at Goodwood since.

Form: 16125

Sky Majesty²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: W J Haggas| D

16/5

150,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 5f/6f winner Angel Alexander and 5f winner Democracy Dilemma, both smart. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Made a winning debut more impressively than nose margin suggests at Newbury last month and open to significant progress.

Form: 1

Stormy Impact¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 92| BF

9/2

Study of Man filly who shaped with plenty of encouragement when second behind another promising newcomer in novice at York (6f, good to firm, 9/1) on debut in July. Only just denied in similar events at Beverley/Haydock since and she remains with potential.

Form: 222

(6)

Town And Country²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: H De Bromhead

7/1

Left debut well behind to win 9-runner maiden at Navan (5f, good to firm) 23 days ago, coming out on top in a 3-way photo. Likely to improve again but needs to.

Form: 71

Forecasts

Sky Majesty (16/5), Stormy Impact (9/2), Englemere (11/2), Grande Marques (7/1), Town And Country (7/1), It Ain't Two (12/1), Li Ban (12/1), Royalty Bay (18/1), Handcuffed (22/1), Perfect Part (25/1), Maw Lam (28/1), Guns Firing (33/1), Ellaria Sand (50/1)

None of these fillies has reached a useful level yet but SKY MAJESTY is bred to be smart and she looked potentially as good herself when winning a Newbury maiden more comfortably than the bare margin suggests last month. Maw Lam was below par in the Flying Childers last week but she's a player on the pick of her form, while Perfect Part may have more to offer over this trip after her decent fifth in the Lowther at York.
