Anthelia²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 94| C

9/2

Useful early juvenile who didn't need to improve for win number 4 in the Super Sprint at Newbury in July. Sound-enough fifth trying to land another valuable pot at York last time and she's likely to give it another good go.

Form: 111515

Awaken⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 102| D

3/1

Huge effort on second start when runner-up in the Albany (6f) in June. Landed the odds with the minimum of fuss back in maiden company at Leicester and she just about sets the standard.

Form: 221

(8)

Azleet⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR: 81| D

14/1

Progressive sort who followed up Southwell maiden victory with success on her nursery debut at Newmarket (6f) last month. This demands more but she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 2211

Bella Lyra⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R Hughes| OR: 99| D

7/1

Confirmed debut promise when landing 9-runner novice at Windsor in June. Has improved when third in a listed race here and a Group 3 at Ascot since (both 6f, good to firm). Holds solid form claims.

Form: 3133

Flowerhead^t1²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Charlie Clover| OR: 98| BF

6/1

Confirmed debut promise when landing maiden Chepstow in June. Upped in class and much better form in defeat since, runner-up in the Queen Mary, fifth in the Princess Margaret Stakes and third in listed company at Newbury latest. Return to 6f in her favour and very much one to consider.

Form: 21253

Golden Palace⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

12/1

Palace Pier filly who created a very favourable impression when landing a Beverley novice on debut in July and did nothing to alter that view when following up over 6f at York 3 weeks later, well on top finish. Well worth her place in this company.

Form: 11

Orion's Belt¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 94

7/1

Starman filly who bagged 7f maiden at Newmarket in July. Has posted solid efforts since when third in listed company at Sandown and sixth in Goodwood's Prestige Stakes (met trouble). Possibilities now back in trip.

Form: 4136

Ourbren⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox| T: J S Moore

40/1

50/1 and green when a promising fourth of 11 in maiden at Bath (5.7f, soft) on debut 9 days ago, finishing well. This Starman filly has more to offer but this is a tough ask.

Form: 4

(10)

Planet Seeker²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| D

7/1

Blue Point filly who made a winning debut in 6f maiden at Goodwood three weeks ago. This asks a good deal more but yard has a very good recent record in this so she shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 1

(4)

Reimagined⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| D

20/1

Different proposition on second start when winning 11-runner novice at Windsor in July (6f). Limit not yet reached but another jolt of progress required.

Form: 71

(5)

Vishaka⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D M Simcock

40/1

Invincible Spirit filly. Overcame greenness to make a taking winning debut at Nottingham in July (5f). Can only improve for 6f so more to come.

Form: 1

Forecasts

Awaken (3/1), Anthelia (9/2), Flowerhead (6/1), Orion's Belt (7/1), Planet Seeker (7/1), Bella Lyra (7/1), Golden Palace (12/1), Azleet (14/1), Dandana (14/1), Spinning Lizzie (16/1), Reimagined (20/1), Ourbren (40/1), Vishaka (40/1)

A highly competitive Dick Poole in which marginal preference is for AWAKEN who holds the edge on the form of her excellent Albany second at Royal Ascot and can now make it 2-4. Bella Lyra also has the form to play a part and heads the list of dangers, although Dandana, Planet Seeker and Golden Palace all look open to further progress and need considering. Flowerhead completes the shortlist now she steps back up in trip.
