33/1

Gained breakthrough at listed level when taking the Nottinghamshire Oaks (10.2f, good) at the end of April. Best effort since when sixth of 12 in another listed contest at York and wasn't far off that level when third ridden more positively at Salisbury. Back up in trip and merit looks established.

Chorus¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 99| CD

22/1

Useful filly who has largely run well in 2025 without winning, good 4½ lengths sixth of 11 to Santorini Star in Park Hill Stakes at Doncaster upped to 14.5f. Drops back in trip and eases slightly in class.

Jane Temple⁵⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 99| D

18/1

Useful filly is a dual all-weather winner but has proved as effective on turf, improving again when worn down late by reopposing Silent Love on the July Course last month. That level of form puts her right in the mix (slightly better off with that rival).

Form: 1-15732

Karmology³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 96

18/1

Useful mare who finished behind Silent Love and Jane Temple on the July Course and typically gave her running when placed again in a York listed race a month ago. Hard to see where she will find the necessary improvement required to win a Group 3, however.

Miss Justice⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Colin Keane| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 101| D

10/1

Justify filly who made the frame on each of her first 4 starts before deservedly getting off the mark when landing the odds upped to 1½m at Southwell in July. Took the rise to listed class in her stride when following up at Salisbury (9.9f) battling well to see off Revoir by a head, pair clear.

Form: 4-22211

Favorite Memory⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 96| D

12/1

Doncaster maiden winner over this trip in June and back on the up away from softer ground when making a successful handicap debut at Salisbury last month. Has plenty of size about her and given the yard she represents, her limit hasn't been reached.

Form: 52191

Little Dorrit^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 96

14/1

Left debut effort behind when winning a Kempton novice (11f) in July, before outrunning her odds (66/1) upped in grade when 2½ lengths fifth of 9 in listed race at York (11.8f, good to firm). Continued theme of race-by-race improvement when fourth on handicap debut at Doncaster and she's useful.

Form: 0154

Revoir²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 101| BF

17/2

Ploughed through the mud to land a Nottingham maiden on sole 2-y-o start and just touched off upped to 10f on return in a Newbury listed race in May. Wasn't disgraced in the Oaks next time and brace of runner-up efforts since confirm she's very competitive at this level.

Form: 1-26522

Silent Love⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Billy Loughnane| T: C Appleby| OR: 100| D

4/1

Good-looking Dubawi filly ran to a fairly useful level when third in a pair of 1¼m maidens here and at Haydock prior to improving to win an 11-runner maiden at Kempton (11f, 8/11) in June. Keen early but saw the race out well when ½ length too strong for Jane Temple on the July Course. More to come.

Form: 3311

Spirited Style⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 106| D

13/8

Looked a Group performer in the making when supplementing her maiden win in listed company on the July Course (Jane Temple third). Race didn't go to plan in Group 1 Preis der Diana at Dusseldorf in August but well worth another chance.

Form: 2110

Understudy⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 102| D

10/1

Useful filly. Winner at Southwell in May and much better form in defeat two of three starts since,2¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Indalimos in Prix Minerve at Deauville (12.4f, good, 34/10) 40 days ago.

Form: 41254

Forecasts

Spirited Style (13/8), Silent Love (4/1), Revoir (17/2), Miss Justice (10/1), Understudy (10/1), Favorite Memory (12/1), Little Dorrit (14/1), Karmology (18/1), Jane Temple (18/1), Chorus (22/1), Ambiente Amigo (33/1)

A tightly-knit Group 3 on Timeform ratings with SPIRITED STYLE just about the most persuasive option. Fast-tracked to Group 1 company, she was looked after once her chance had gone in the German Oaks and down in class, this looks a good spot to bounce back. Favorite Memory and Little Dorrit contested a handicap last time but they don't have a lot to find representing excellent yards.
