Cardiff By The Sea³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J A Heffernan| T: J A Stack

9/4

Made an encouraging debut when second of 4 in a conditions race over C&D Came on plenty for that when fourth of 23 in Group 2 company at Ascot (11/1) 35 days ago, never far from firing line. Likely to improve further and she sets the standard.

Form: 24

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: A Watson| OR: 80| D

Havana Anna²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: G M Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 96| CD

6/4

Improved with each start, finishing third on debut before narrow second at Cork. Landed the odds in a C&D maiden 28 days ago, travelling well throughout and drawing clear to win by 6 lengths. All-speed type who should be well suited by this test.

Form: 321

Ipanema Queen³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A Murray| OR: 93

9/2

Won maiden at Curragh on debut but ran below that form when 11th of 17 in Group 3 at Ascot (10/1) 33 days ago after racing too keenly. Drops in class/trip.

Form: 10

Lam Yai²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| D

11/1

Finished last of 8 on debut at Thirsk (10/11), but broke fast and asserted well when winning a 5f maiden at Carlisle (11/4) 28 days ago. Taking a significant step up in class.

Form: 81

(7)

Magny Cours³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin

18/1

Winning debut at Listowel (6f) in June before finishing 14th of 17 in Group 3 at Ascot (125/1) 33 days ago, showing bags of speed but overdoing things and weakening late. The drop to 5f could suit her speedy style but this isn't an easy race to bounce back in.

Form: 10

(4)

Solana Rose³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87

18/1

Won novice at Ripon by 7 lengths in May, then 17th of 23 in Group 2 at Ascot (40/1) 35 days ago when racing far side and pressing on too early. Remains with potential but perhaps not quite at this level.

Form: 610

Forecasts

Havana Anna (6/4), Cardiff By The Sea (9/4), Ipanema Queen (9/2), Lam Yai (11/1), Duskaura (16/1), Wateen (16/1), Magny Cours (18/1), Solana Rose (18/1)

CARDIFF BY THE SEA confirmed the promise of her debut when fourth in the Group 2 Queen Mary at Ascot and looks set to progress further at this listed level. She's hard to get away from, for all Havana Anna impressed when winning by 6 lengths over C&D last time, looking all speed. Ipanema Queen needs to bounce back from a disappointing run last time but is a player on her debut form.
