Al Basti Equiworld Dubai Middleton Fillies' Stakes (Fillies' And Mares' Group 2)

Useful filly who was too free to match that form over hurdles but gained listed breakthrough in 6-runner handicap at Nottingham 16 days ago, proving ½ length too good for Karmology. This demands more up in class.

Smart filly who won in Dubai and America (11f Group 3) in 2024. Respectable 2½ lengths sixth in another Grade 3 at Gulfstream in January. First start in Britain since autumn 2023 when 5¼ lengths third of 5 to Cinderella's Dream in Dahlia Stakes, though she did carry her head a shade awkwardly.

Regally-bred filly who took form up a notch last year, landing 1m Royal Ascot handicap then doubling her tally for the campaign with a cosy success in listed mares' event at Saint Cloud (9.9f, soft). Didn't seem to see out 11.6f in Group 1 company final start and this looks her trip on reappearance.

C&D winner established as a useful filly, running right up to form on return from 7 months off when ½-length second of 6 to Ambiente Amigo in listed race at Nottingham 16 days ago. Dominating this field a different undertaking, though.

Quietly progressive around this time last year and took form to a whole new level in first-time cheekpieces when winning 9-runner Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster (14.5f, good). Off 8 months and this trip probably on the sharp side but she's a big player on form.

Smart mare upon joining this yard ahead of 2024 campaign, gaining compensation for a couple of luckless runs when landing 5-runner Group 3 at the Curragh (9f). In nothing like the same form in Celebration Mile at Goodwood after. Up in trip on return from 8 months off and has a good record fresh.

Smart and consistent filly who landed Group 3 Strensall here (9f) in August and ended her campaign with a good fifth of 11 in Champion Stakes at Ascot (10f) in October. Satisfactory return to action at Sandown 3 weeks ago and expected to step up on that, so she's the one to beat.

Useful performer, winning listed race, handicap and Group 3 at Milan before completing 4-timer in Premio Lydia Tesio at Rome (by 4 lengths from Sun Never Sets) in 2024. Has left E. Botti and hard to rule out further improvement this year.
