Abbey Law¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Frederick Larson⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy

Eighth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 200/1) on debut 17 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 8

(6)

Equuleus Star²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: H Main

Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, good to soft, 50/1) 29 days ago.

Form: 38

Fleeting Moment⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher| T: James Horton

Fifth of 6 in maiden (28/1) at Yarmouth (10.1f, good) on debut 47 days ago. Much more needed.

Kitty Furnival⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 80| BF

Very well backed but was disappointing when fourth of 7 in maiden (11/10) at Carlisle (11.2f, good) 79 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Drops in trip and earlier form brings her right into this.

Form: 4-234

(7)

Lady La Fay⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 79

Excellent effort when runner-up at Carlisle in July (11.2f). 7/2, fourth of 7 in novice at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) 60 days ago. Has to be taken seriously at this level.

Form: 3424

(4)

Lasting Love^h²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

Looked more straightforward than at Haydock when second of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, good to soft, 4/1) 29 days ago, clear of rest.

Form: 3-3672

(8)

Maenad¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Luke Catton⁽³⁾| T: J & T Gosden

Seventh of 8 in novice (12/1) at Kempton (12f) on debut 19 days ago. In top hands but much more needed.

Form: 7

(2)

Sea Journey¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden

Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Storm Castle and winner up to 1¼m Inner Space. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner, won British Champions Fillies & Mare Stakes. Off 10 months after debut and showed plenty when second of 6 in novice at Lingfield (10f, AW) 19 days ago, running on. Major claims.

Form: 4-2

Forecasts

Kitty Furnival (9/4), Lasting Love (5/2), Lady La Fay (11/4), Sea Journey (13/2), Abbey Law (20/1), Maenad (20/1), Equuleus Star (20/1), Fleeting Moment (25/1)

SEA JOURNEY's pedigree is an ongoing recommendation and having taken a big step forward on her return to action when second at Lingfield, she's fancied to go one place better. Kitty Furnival and Lady La Fay are slightly more exposed but have achieved the most of these so far and as a result command respect.
