American Flight¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey

18/1

Modest form in her 2 starts so far, running to a similar level as on debut when fourth of 8 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f, 9/1) 2 weeks ago. Improvement required given the potential in this line-up.

Form: 34

Heated Moment²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: Ollie Sangster

9/2

Showed plenty to work on making her first start when fifth of 10 in maiden at this course (7f, good to firm, 15/2) 23 days ago. Could be in the mix with the benefit of that experience behind her.

Form: 5

12/1

Foaled February 9. Dubawi filly. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 1¼m, sister to very smart winner up to 1m Mutasaabeq out of 1000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes winner Ghanaati. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Reality Queen¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

66/1

Sent off big odds (66/1) and offered little on debut when ninth of 12 in novice at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 9

15/2

Foaled January 16. Frankel filly. Dam, 6f/7f winner (including at 2 yrs) who stayed 1m, half-sister to high-class multiple 6f winner Starman, won July Cup. Eye-catching pedigree and the market could be informative.

Forecasts

Glow (7/2), Heated Moment (9/2), Imperial Ballet (5/1), Sunday Girl (15/2), Running Hot (15/2), Caraway (15/2), Got The Booty (11/1), Khafar (12/1), American Flight (18/1), Bintola (25/1), Reality Queen (66/1)

Mainly newcomers in the line-up, with preference for IMPERIAL BALLET who is bred to be smart and could be up to making a winning debut with her trainer amongst the winners. She gets the vote ahead of Caraway, who holds a Group 2 entry and is respected for the William Haggas yard, with Heated Moment the pick of the trio with prior experience.
