Anna Swan²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 90

33/1

Almanzor filly who has looked a good prospect in winning both starts to date, unchallenged in a 4-runner conditions event at Newbury three weeks. Those performances have been more about style than substance but she's a definite player.

Form: 11

Ballet Slippers³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| BF| D

14/1

Bred in the purple and she has shaped well when placed on both runs prior to readily landing the odds in a novice at Ascot last month. More improvement on the cards and can't be written off.

Form: 321

California Dreamer¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: A Murray| OR: 101

50/1

Fairly useful filly. 16/1, creditable 1½ lengths fourth of 9 to Heavens Gate in Weld Park Stakes at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago, staying on well. Faces a stiff task in this company, however.

Form: 235234

Desert Flower²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 106| D

10/11

Very smart prospect who took her unbeaten record to three when landing the May Hill at Doncaster at the expense of January. Leading claims at the top level for the first time.

Form: 111

(4)

Dreamy⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: A P O'Brien| D

15/2

American Pharoah filly who stepped forward significantly from her winning debut when landing the Flame of Tara Stakes at the Curragh cosily. Expected to go on progressing and already has the form to compete.

Form: 11

(6)

January²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 103

7/2

Relished step up to 7.5f when a 4-length winner in listed company at Tipperary and continued her progress when runner-up to Desert Flower in the May Hill last month. Something to find with that rival but is the choice of Moore and merits respect.

Form: 21312

Tabiti²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101

11/2

Kingman filly who created a good impression when going in at the first time of asking in 9-runner maiden at Newmarket, then took a step forward and showed a good attitude to land the Dick Poole Stakes at Salisbury last time. Obvious claims for a yard going well.

Form: 11

Forecasts

Desert Flower (10/11), January (7/2), Tabiti (11/2), Dreamy (15/2), Ballet Slippers (14/1), Anna Swan (33/1), California Dreamer (50/1)

DESERT FLOWER has looked a top-notch filly on each visit to the racecourse to date and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record for all that this is her sternest test to date. Dreamy and Tibiti also arrive with a 100% record, so they add plenty of strength to the contest along with the likes of Anna Swan and January, who also have plenty of potential.
