Awaken¹⁴

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

17/2

Fine runner-up in the Albany (6f) at Royal Ascot in June before landing the odds with the minimum of fuss at Leicester. Only ninth on soft ground in Dick Poole at Salisbury last time and can bounce back here.

Form: 2219

Ice Sovereigns²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C Johnston| OR: 85| D

33/1

Ten Sovereigns filly has improved from run-to-run, landing 7f Carlisle novice before following up in nursery there 25 days ago. This is much tougher.

Form: 4311

Mandarin Spirit⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| D

66/1

Ghaiyyath filly build on her debut promise to land 7-runner maiden at Thirsk (7f, good) 63 days ago, battling well having gone freely in front. Capable of better still but this demands considerably more.

Form: 21

Moon Target^p1¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 103| BF| D

5/1

Cracksman filly ran out a wide-margin winner of 7f novices on July course here and at Yarmouth before a very good second in Group 3 at Goodwood. Only seventh in May Hill at Doncaster 15 days ago but got no cover there and she's well worth another chance. Cheekpieces added.

Form: 1127

Nandita³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 97

16/1

Improving Blue Point filly bagged 6f Kempton maiden before excellent efforts when seventh in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and third in Prix du Calvados at Deauville (7f) last time. Can go well again.

Form: 41773

Samra Green⁴⁹

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

12/1

Saxon Warrior filly looked a good prospect when making a winning start in 7f maiden at Haydock last month and not taken lightly despite her lack of experience.

Form: 1

(8)

Sukanya¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Channon| OR: 98

20/1

Havana Grey filly made a winning start at Newbury and has advanced her form since when in the frame in Prestige Stakes at Goodwood and Leopardstown listed event, both over 7f. Possibilities.

Form: 1742

(7)

The Prettiest Star⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker

12/1

Looked a good prospect when easily winning 9-runner maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good to soft) on her debut 50 days ago. This Starman filly is capable of a fair bit better so can't be discounted.

Form: 1

(5)

Touleen¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 96| D

11/10

Lope de Vega filly made a highly promising start when bagging 7f maiden at Newbury and followed up in equally fine style in 7f novice at Leicester 17 days ago. Has plenty more to offer. Very interesting prospect.

Form: 11

(10)

Zanthos¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 92| BF| D

15/2

Sioux Nation filly made a highly promising start when easily landing 7f maiden at Newmarket in August. Raced freely when 3¼ lengths second of 8 to Touleen in novice at Leicester (7f) 17 days ago. Remains with potential to improve and not written off.

Form: 12

Forecasts

Touleen (11/10), Moon Target (5/1), Zanthos (15/2), Awaken (17/2), The Prettiest Star (12/1), Samra Green (12/1), Nandita (16/1), Sukanya (20/1), Ice Sovereigns (33/1), Mandarin Spirit (66/1)

A fascinating Rockfel in which TOULEEN is fancied to take this step up in class in her stride and go 3-3. Moon Target didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh in Doncaster's May Hill last time and can throw down the main challenge to Owen Burrows' unbeaten Lope de Vega filly, although unexposed pair Samra Green and The Prettiest Star bring lots of potential and Zanthos shouldn't be underestimated too if settling better.
