4/7

Easy 4-length winner of a Chantilly maiden on debut and most impressive when following up in 7-runner Group 3 Prix d'Aumale at this C&D (good to soft) 24 days ago. Could be very smart and big chance.

10/1

Just denied in the Albany at Royal Ascot before going one better in Group 3 (6f) there following month. Smooth winner of Group 2 at Deauville next time before good 1¼ lengths second of 5 to Lake Victoria in Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good, 17/2) 21 days ago. Can go well again.

Bedtime Story²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 112| BF

3/1

Looked something out of the ordinary when wide-margin winner of Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot and didn't need to run to that level when following up in Group 3 at Leopardstown and Group 2 at the Curragh. Disappointed in Moyglare since but reported to be lame post race. Expected to bounce back.

7/1

Has progressed in pattern company since winning her maiden, 1¼ lengths third of 5 to Lake Victoria in Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good) 21 days ago, running on. Not taken lightly.

Modest form when sixth of 7 in maiden at Deauville (8f, good) on debut 57 days ago. Mammoth task.

28/1

Looked useful when following up her maiden win in minor event at Deauville but another big step forward is required.

Vertical Blue²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: A Pouchin| T: F Graffard| D

100/1

Off the mark at the third attempt in maiden at Clairefontaine in July and stepped up on that when 1½ lengths second of 6 in listed race (18/10) at Lyon Parilly (8f, good to soft) 25 days ago. This much harder, however.

Form: 2212

La Guapisima²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Aurelien Lemaitre| T: Chr Head

100/1

Completed hat-trick in listed race at Vichy but limitations seemingly exposed when 7¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Zarigana in Prix d'Aumale (8/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 24 days ago.

Form: 221114

Exposed maiden who is out of hopelessly out of her depth.

Forecasts

Zarigana (4/7), Bedtime Story (3/1), Exactly (7/1), Rosa Salvaje (9/1), Simmering (10/1), Lhakpa (28/1), Vertical Blue (100/1), La Guapisima (100/1), Inhebhaa (200/1), La Ferretcapienne (200/1)

ZARIGANA looked potentially very smart when brushing aside her rivals in the Prix d'Aumale over this C&D last month and can maintain her unbeaten record. Bedtime Story lost her unbeaten record in the Moyglare but she was reportedly found to be lame post race so is well worth another chance with her Chesham win still fresh in the memory. There wasn't much between Simmering and Exactly in the Moyglare and they look best of the others.
