Naomhi^h⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King

16/1

Travelled well for a long way in AW bumper on debut and offered something to work on switched to the Flat here 6 months later, finishing 5 lengths fifth of 9. Back in trip and may do better.

Form: 5

Aughnagomaun¹⁴

More one for handicaps after this judged on her 2 efforts in recent months.

Dramatic Quest²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

33/1

Bred in the purple and has shown fair form on both starts, latterly fourth of 8 over 1½m here. May do better again.

Form: 54

(6)

Equuleus Star³⁸

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

200/1

Fair form when third on fast-ground Windsor debut in July. Possibly unsuited by a softer surface when well held at Goodwood 4 weeks later.

Form: 38

Faifa⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82

7/2

Promising type. 18/1, third of 7 in novice at Doncaster (1½m, good to firm) 69 days ago. Could have more to come and leading claims under Oisin Murphy.

Form: 493

Fleeting Moment⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: James Horton

100/1

Jane Temple

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

8/1

Siyouni filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Peter The Great and useful French 2-y-o 6f winner Sicilia. Good pedigree and interesting to see how she compares to her stablemates.

Form:

Kitty Furnival⁸⁸

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

13/8

Fairly useful when placed twice at the start of the summer, latterly over C&D. Something possibly amiss when gambled on and a well-held fourth at Carlisle at the start of July as she hasn't been seen since. Capable of bouncing back.

Form: 4-234

(7)

Nowhere²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: H Morrison| OR: 73

25/1

Thrice-raced filly. Fair form when second of 8 in novice at this course (1½m) 28 days ago. A bit more will be needed.

Form: 282

(13)

Sea Journey²⁸

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

3/1

Sea The Stars filly who stepped up on last autumn's Newmarket debut when narrowly denied over 1¼m at Lingfield (AW) on last month's reappearance. Should have more to offer and part of a strong hand in this for her top stable.

Form: 4-2

(4)

Shady Bay⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: T Ward

125/1

Twice-raced filly. Stepped up on her debut when third of 6 in novice at Nottingham (1¼m, good to soft) in July but the form is little better than modest.

Form: 83

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward

Form: 5

Volakes

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: W J Haggas

12/1

100,000 gns Nathaniel filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 1¼m winner Anapurna. Tom Marquand is on the yard's other runner but it'll still be interesting to see what the betting makes of her.

Forecasts

Kitty Furnival (13/8), Sea Journey (3/1), Faifa (7/2), Jane Temple (8/1), Volakes (12/1), Naomhi (16/1), Nowhere (25/1), Dramatic Quest (33/1), Fleeting Moment (100/1), Shady Bay (125/1), Lady Caro (150/1), Equuleus Star (200/1), Specifically (200/1), Aughnagomaun (200/1)

The Gosden stable looks to hold the key to this race, with FAIFA, the mount of Oisin Murphy, narrowly preferred to Lingfield runner-up Sea Journey. Kitty Furnival should also figure if recapturing the form she showed when placed over C&D in June. The third Gosden runner Jane Temple, a well-bred newcomer, also needs a betting check.
