Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: K R Burke| OR: 77| BF

25/1

Dark Angel filly who overcame inexperience to make a successful debut at Hamilton (6f) in June, beating a couple of next-time-out winners in the process, but she was unsuited by the slow gallop when third on return at Southwell (7f).

Form: 1-3

8/11

Well-related Kingman filly was again strong in the betting when off the mark at the second time of asking at Newmarket on her return. She looks sure to improve for that experience and has excellent claims to defy a penalty.

Form: 3-1

Annastarzy¹⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: R Hannon| OR: 75

18/1

Sea The Stars filly showed promise in maiden/novice company last season, and while she's bred to improve as a 3-y-o, that progression may come over longer trips.

Form: 644-

Crownright^h1¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: R M Beckett

7/2

Frankel filly makes plenty of appeal on paper and shaped well when third on debut at Kempton last November. Hood fitted ahead of this first start on turf, and she looks a likely improver for her excellent yard.

Form: 3-

Light Dreamer¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

28/1

Went close on debut at Kempton (7f) and improved despite still looking green when fifth in an historically notable maiden at Newbury (1¼m) last time. She was better placed than most on that occasion, however.

Form: 25

Lyrics Of Life¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: B J Meehan| OR: 90

5/1

Ran up to her best when runner-up behind So Regal on reappearance at Newmarket, and though reopposing on better terms, she could again prove vulnerable to a progressive one.

Form: 5225-2

(2)

Machadadorp

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: James Doyle| T: A M Balding

20/1

Mehmas filly. Dam 8.3f winner who stayed 1½m. In good hands but faces no easy task pitched into a potentially useful novice on racecourse bow.

Forecasts

So Regal (8/11), Crownright (7/2), Lyrics Of Life (5/1), Annastarzy (18/1), Machadadorp (20/1), Gesayed (25/1), Light Dreamer (28/1)

Group 1 entered SO REGAL impressed when making a winning return at Newmarket, and she can follow up on her way to better things. Crownright is entitled to improve following a promising debut effort and she rates the main danger, ahead of Lyrics of Life.
