Abashiri179
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| D
Frankel filly who looked a smart prospect when quickening sharply to win a 1m Kempton maiden on debut in November. Pitched in very deep on second start but has the potential for significant improvement.

Azleet18
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Marco Ghiani| T: S C Williams| OR:  105| C
Looked exposed after 7 starts as a juvenile but found improvement to spring a 50/1 surprise in the Nell Gwyn on 7f course reappearance, albeit helped by being held up in a well-run race. Likely to stay 1m but doubtful she'll be good enough.

Pair of AW wins over 7f last November and returned to take her career record to 3-3 in C&D handicap (good) 19 days ago. There could be more to come but this is a huge jump in class.

Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy| OR:  97
€300,000 breeze-up purchase who created a very favourable impression when slamming 8 rivals on 6f debut at Southwell in November. Hooded, shaped well when 2 lengths third of 14 to Sukanya in Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) 5 months later. Will stay 1m. Open to further improvement.

Better with each start as a juvenile, culminating with third to Precise in Fillies' Mile over C&D, and improved again to make a winning reappearance in 1m Longchamp Group 3 (good) 3 weeks ago. Further progress isn't ruled out.

Pair of 7f novice wins on the July Course last summer. Shaped well when runner-up in valuable sales race at Longchamp (1m, good to soft) on final 2-y-o start and again when 1¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Azleet in Nell Gwyn on 7f reappearance here 18 days ago. Capable of better.

All 3 starts over 7f here, winning maiden on debut before close second in Group 3 Oh So Sharp in October. Below that form when 3½ lengths sixth of 12 to Azleet in Nell Gwyn on reappearance, shaping as if ready for this step up to 1m.

My Highness26
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Fabre| BF
French raider who landed 3 wins around 7f last summer, notably the Group 2 Calvados at Deauville (good to firm). Reappeared with a creditable 2½ lengths second of 12 to Showna in Prix Imprudence there (7f again) 26 days ago. Stable's British runners always merit respect.

Precise205
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR:  115| CD
The best 2-y-o filly in Europe last season, with Group 1 wins in the Moyglare at the Curragh (7f) and Fillies' Mile over C&D (easily by 3¼ lengths from Venetian Lace). Likely capable of even better and can provide Aidan O'Brien with an eighth win in this.

Won valuable newcomers race at Deauville (7f) last August and acquitted herself well up in class when 2¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Aylin in May Hill at Doncaster (1m, good) 4 weeks later. Lacks experience but should have more to offer.

Attracted support and made a winning debut in taking fashion in 14-runner 7f novice at Southwell in December. Left that form behind when 3½ lengths sixth of 14 to Sukanya in Fred Darling at Newbury (7f, good) 15 days ago. Will stay 1m. Capable of better but major improvement needed.

Useful filly who ended her 2-y-o campaign with a 6f course listed success (good) but it still leaves her a good way short of the required standard here. The 2f longer trip is also a big unknown on reappearance.

The Prettiest Star219
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR:  109
Looked a good prospect when easily winning 9-runner maiden at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) on debut and confirmed those impressions when ½-length second of 10 to Zanthos in Group 2 Rockfel over 7f here (good to firm) in September. Likely to stay 1m. Should be more to come

Three wins as a juvenile and took her form to a new level when edging out Padraig Dawn in 1m Newcastle listed event on reappearance. This scopey filly should continue to progress but surely more a place than win contender here.

Useful form over 7f, impressing when winning fast-ground maiden/novice events on first 2 starts. Only fifth when a short-priced favourite for the Rockfel here last autumn but creditable ¾-length second of 14 to Sukanya in Fred Darling on Newbury reappearance. Tackles 1m for the first time now.

Successful 3 times at pattern level last year, notably the Cheveley Park over 6f here (good to firm) in September. Coped fine with the step up to 7f when pushed out to take a 7f Leopardstown Group 3 on return, suggesting 1m should be within range. Should go well but Precise looks the first string.

Venetian Lace205
Age: 3|  Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR:  108
Reached the frame in 7f Group races on the July Course last summer and bettered those efforts when 3¼ lengths second of 10 to Precise in Fillies' Mile over C&D (good to firm) in the autumn. Hard to think she'll be up to the task here, though.

Won Albany at Royal Ascot, Duchess of Cambridge at the July meeting here and Group 1 Prix Morny at Deauville (all 6f on firmer than good) last summer. Better than result when 2½ lengths third of 7 to Precise in Moyglare at the Curragh (7f, good to soft) on final start. Remains capable of better.

Forecasts

Precise (2/1), Venetian Sun (9/2), True Love (11/2), My Highness (8/1), The Prettiest Star (10/1), Abashiri (12/1), Touleen (12/1), Evolutionist (14/1), Inis Mor (20/1), Azleet (20/1), Rose Ghaiyyath (25/1), Spicy Marg (33/1), Venetian Lace (33/1), Mubasimah (33/1), Domina Ignis (50/1), Timeforshowcasing (50/1), Darn Hot Gallop (50/1), Silenciosa (66/1), True Test (200/1)

Verdict

PRECISE was impressive in the Fillies' Mile over C&D when last seen and should be hard to beat with further improvement on the cards this year. Venetian Sun wasn't seen to best effect behind the selection when losing her unbeaten record in the Moyglare and may provide the main threat, with the fact her dam stayed 1¼m suggesting 1m should be within range. The selection's stablemate True Love, exciting maiden winner Abashiri and Inis Mor, who shaped well in the Nell Gwyn, complete the shortlist.
