Smart filly who was a good second in a Group 2 at Goodwood on her return last season and ended the campaign with a career-best win in a listed event at Doncaster. Sets a clear standard back from 6 months off.

Winner on the all-weather for John & Thady Gosden last year and has made the frame in listed races at Longchamp on both starts this season for her new yard (not seen to best effect last time). Probably has more to offer still.

Progressive at 3 yrs, winning listed race at Goodwood before close second in Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot. Missed all of last season and shaped as if better for the run after 20 months off when fifth in Nottingham listed race. This should reveal more up in trip.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR:  98| D
Progressed during second half of last season, winning Goodwood handicap before following up in 2m listed race at Newmarket, suited by step up in trip. Stiff task but far from disgraced when remote third in Sagaro Stakes at Ascot on return.

Miss Wong22
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D M Simcock| OR:  85
Hails from a family her yard knows well and she proved progressive in handicaps last season, looking unlucky not to land a hat-trick at Newmarket in October. Well held next 2 starts upped significantly in class though had excuses, including on return.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: I Furtado| OR:  84| C| D
Steadily progressive handicapper who hit the target 3 times last season, including twice over 2m here. Good efforts in defeat both starts this campaign but she has plenty to find at this level.

Tamam Desert18
Age: 4|  Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: M O'Callaghan| OR:  85
Step back in the right direction last time but little in her record to suggest she can play a leading role here.

Forecasts

Danielle (8/11), Miss Alpilles (4/1), Lava Stream (7/1), Desert Spring (8/1), Miss Wong (16/1), Rock N Roll Pinkie (20/1), Tamam Desert (33/1)

Verdict

DANIELLE stands out on form and should prove hard to beat on return. Her former stablemate Desert Spring may emerge as the main threat having shaped well in a couple of listed races in France.
