Cheshire Dancer³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Harry Davies| T: H Palmer| OR: 104| D

125/1

Useful filly who found some improvement when narrow winner of a Group 3 at Ascot this summer. Decent fourth in Grade 3 in the U.S since but probably not up to this level.

Form: 013214

Cinderella's Dream⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 116| BF| C| D

11/8

Tasted Grade 1 and 2 wins in the US last summer (also second in Breeders' Cup Filly Mare final run). Better again this year, winning Dahlia here and Falmouth Stakes at July Course. Just respectable fourth in Group 1 at Deauville since but this looks a good opportunity for her to bag another Group 1.

Form: 2-21214

Fallen Angel^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: K R Burke| OR: 115| D

11/4

Irish 1000 Guineas winner last season and first success since when narrow winner of Prix Rothschild at Deauville this summer. Confirmed she's back to her best when following up in Matron Stakes at Leopardstown 3 weeks ago and another bold bid looks on the cards.

Form: 24-6311

Lady Of Spain³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 110| D

5/1

Progressive filly who has won all 5 of her starts, notably 13-runner Atalanta Stakes at Sandown (8f, soft) on her belated return 35 days ago by ½ length from Blue Bolt. Entitled to improve again and well worth a shot at this level.

Form: 1/111-1

Spiritual²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 109| D

18/1

Seen to good effect when making all in Group 3 at Epsom in June. Back to that sort of form when third in Group 3 at Doncaster 3 weeks ago but she has been found out at this level already this season.

Form: 3-31063

Atsila^t²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gavin Ryan| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 109| D

16/1

Won first 2 starts, notably Group 3 at the Curragh in May. Has found it tougher at Group 1 level since, though justified her connections perseverance with a good 1¼ lengths third to re-opposing Fallen Angel in Matron Stakes at Leopardstown latest, caught further back than ideal. Frame claims.

Form: 117683

Blue Bolt³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: A M Balding| OR: 109| D

17/2

Going the right way, completing hat-trick when making all in Sandown listed race in July. Good ½-length second to the re-opposing Lady of Spain in Atalanta Stakes there since and looks capable of making her presence felt at this higher level.

Form: 51112

Cathedral²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rowan Scott| T: K P De Foy| OR: 108| BF

28/1

Highly tried after making a winning debut but ran best race yet when 1¾ lengths fourth of 11 to re-opposing Fallen Angel in Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on first start for this yard 21 days ago, keeping on well. Needs to improve again.

Form: 12-4424

Saqqara Sands⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 105| C

20/1

Continues to get better with each run, winning a 7f listed race at Carlisle before dead-heating in a Group 3 at Goodwood. Excellent neck second in Celebration Mile at Goodwood 6 weeks ago and not to be underestimated.

Form: 12-2112

Forecasts

Cinderella's Dream (11/8), Fallen Angel (11/4), Lady Of Spain (5/1), Blue Bolt (17/2), Atsila (16/1), Spiritual (18/1), Saqqara Sands (20/1), Cathedral (28/1), Sparks Fly (66/1), Cheshire Dancer (125/1)

Previous Group 1 winners FALLEN ANGEL and Cinderella's Dream dominate the market with the hat-trick seeking Fallen Angel preferred, particularly if the rain arrives. Lady of Spain maintained her unbeaten record in a Group 3 at Sandown on her belated return 5 weeks ago and rates the main threat to the top 2.
