Contested a couple of warm novice events first 2 outings and put that experience to good use when winning C&D novice in May. Useful form in pattern events since, winning Group 3 at Deauville in this headgear 18 days ago. Big shout.
|
Winner of 4 of her 5 starts, notably in 5f listed race at Sandown in May and Super Sprint at Newbury last month, rallied to lead post. Only defeat came at this trip but she should be effective at it.
|
Showed improved form when scoring at Salisbury (5f) but made little impact in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot. Excuses in Super Sprint at Newbury before resuming winning ways in 6f nursery at Goodwood, showing big improvement on first attempt at this trip. Not taken lightly.
|
Built on debut when close second at Salisbury but no further progress since, looking ready for 7f.
|
Fair maiden who has plenty to find.
|
Fair form when second in 2 novices but always behind in valuable sales race at Naas 17 days ago. Headgear applied.
|
£8,000 yearling, Shaman colt. Half-brother to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Mortlake and 2-y-o 5.3f winner Broadhaven Bay. Close second in weak Chelmsford novice last week and very much chucked into the deep end here.
|
Improved to win at Ripon/Haydock and only just denied the hat-trick at Ascot last month. Not disgraced in valuable sales race at Naas since and he's a player.
|
Progressive form in defeat, good 1½ lengths fourth of 11 to Ardisia on nursery bow (5/1) at Goodwood 3 weeks ago, not having a clear run through and doing well in the circumstances. 3 lb worse off with winner but can do better still.
|
Doncaster maiden winner who advanced his form in first-time blinkers when 2¼ lengths fifth of 23 in Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot (5f, firm). However, disappointed in Super Sprint at Newbury since and needs to bounce back.
|
Failed to beat a rival in 2 novices at Sandown.
|
Ripon 5f debut winner who has posted solid efforts when seventh in Coventry at Royal Ascot and fifth in Superlative Stakes at Newmarket. Bit below form when turned out quickly for the Super Sprint at Newbury since and worth another chance back up in trip.
|
Improved to make a winning nursery bow at Leicester last month but weakened quickly in this headgear at Newmarket since.
|
Confirmed debut promise at the second attempt when narrow winner of Thirsk maiden, knuckling down well. Return to 6f should suit and remains with potential.
|
Sergei Prokofiev colt left his debut form well behind when bagging 5-runner maiden at Chester (6.1f, good to firm). Similar form when second to a fellow penalised winner at Newbury since and only needs to take a small step forward to get involved here. Yard has won the last 2 renewals.
|
Gone backwards since debut second at Salisbury and easily passed over.
|
Fair form when winning Wetherby maiden and 5f nursery at Haydock but struggled in the Super Sprint at Newbury since.
|
Left debut form behind when narrowly taking 9-runner maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in June but struggled in listed company at Newmarket later that month and well held on nursery bow back at Goodwood 3 weeks ago. Headgear on.
|
Exposed filly who arrives out of form.
|
Landed odds in weak 4-runner maiden at Bath (5f, firm, 8/15) on debut but struggled upped markedly in class in Group 3 at Naas since. Looks up against it again.

RAAKEB had possible excuses in the Super Sprint at Newbury and he's favoured by these terms on the pick of his form, so can give his stable another winner in this valuable contest. Tadej is the obvious threat after his win in the Prix de Cabourg at Deauville but he was only a length ahead of the selection in the Coventry at Royal Ascot and is 7 lb worse off here. Front Line Fury and Song of The Clyde complete the shortlist.
