8/1

Once-raced winner. 1 win from 1 run this year. Won 10-runner maiden (5/2) at the Curragh (6f, good) on debut 36 days ago, cosily. Sure to progress and she shouldn't be underestimated.

2/1

Very promising daughter of Starman who went 2-2 when readily landing the odds in 6-runner listed race at the Curragh (5f, good) 13 days ago by 1¼ lengths from True Love. Holds very good claims.

50/1

1 win from 1 run this year. Won 6-runner maiden (9/4) at the Curragh (5f, soft) on debut 50 days ago. May well do better but she needs to in this much higher grade.

33/1

1 win from 1 run this year. Won 4-runner maiden at Bath (5f, firm, 8/15) on debut 13 days ago. Stable having good spell. Should improve and can't be ruled out.

4/5

Superbly-bred Wootton Bassett filly made a highly impressive start when winning 13-runner maiden (11/8) at this C&D 20 days ago. Open to significant improvement. Most interesting.

Forecasts

Simply Astounding (4/5), Lady Iman (2/1), Green Sense (8/1), Signora (12/1), Saffron Dandy (33/1), Dawn Romance (33/1), Leblon Beach (33/1), Miami Destination (50/1)

Aidan O'Brien's superbly-bred SIMPLY ASTOUNDING created a fine impression when going in on her recent debut over C&D and can take this step up in class in her stride at the chief expense of Lady Iman who looks a really good prospect too but might have to settle for second on this occasion. Green Sense and Signora appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours in a fascinating Group 3.
