Abashiri²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 107| D

6/1

Bloodless winner of all-weather maiden at Kempton on debut in November and having been strong in the betting, shaped with bags of promise amid residual greenness when 4 lengths fifth of 19 to True Love in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket (1m) 3 weeks ago. Remains open to significant progress.

Form: 1-5

Beautify³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ronan Whelan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 111| C

40/1

Landed Group 2 here on second start, before runner-up to stablemate Precise in Moyglare next time. Off her feet for much of the way and not at home on the track when 5¾ lengths eighth of 12 to Azleet in Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket (7f) on return last month. Outsider of Ballydoyle trio.

Form: 3128-8

Black Caviar Gold^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Lee| T: P Twomey| OR: 104| BF| C

28/1

Won final 2 starts last September, readily landing Weld Park Stakes here to end the campaign. Underperformed on return but bounced back to the sort of form she'd shown last year when ¾-length second of 12 to Kensington Lane in Athasi Stakes over C&D (good) recently. Cheekpieces retained.

Form: 3411-92

Hope Queen³⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 100

28/1

Night Of Thunder filly who comfortably landed the odds in 5-runner novice at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) on debut last June. Overcame the rise in class to win 8-runner listed race at Sandown (7f, good to soft) the following month but hasn't been seen since.

Form: 11-

Kensington Lane²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Chris Hayes| T: Donnacha O'Brien| OR: 100| CD

28/1

Suited by increase in trip and showed much improved form when winning 12-runner Athasi Stakes over C&D (good) just under 3 weeks ago, holding on gamely having led on bridle 3f out. Her attitude will stand her in good stead but needs plenty more to be competitive at this level.

Form: 2219-71

Magny Cours⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ben Coen| T: Daniel McLoughlin| OR: 103

33/1

First past the post on debut at Listowel but subsequently disqualified. Made the places on 4 other occasions, taking her form up a notch when 1¼ lengths second of 13 to True Love in Priory Belle Stakes at Leopardstown (7f, soft) 6 weeks ago. Hard to see her getting that close to that rival here.

Form: 38252-2

Pivotal Attack⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gary Carroll| T: J G Murphy| OR: 102

33/1

Off the mark with something to spare at Galway on second start last year. Ran to a similar level when chasing home Black Caviar Gold here in September and resumed with a good 3 lengths third of 13 to True Love in Priory Belle Stakes at Leopardstown (7f) on return 6 weeks ago. Stiff task in this.

Form: 5162-3

Precise²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Wayne Lordan| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 114| BF| C| D

4/1

The best 2-y-o filly in Europe last season, with Group 1 wins in Moyglare and Fillies' Mile at Newmarket. Sent off favourite but shaped as if better for the run when 5 lengths seventh of 19 to True Love in 1000 Guineas at latter track (1m) 3 weeks ago. Worth another chance to get back on the up.

Form: 21111-7

(5)

Sinmara²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 94| D

66/1

Built on debut promise 6 months on when impressively scoring by 6 lengths at Gowran (7.8f, soft) recently. Ran to a similar level upped in grade when 2¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Kensington Lane in Athasi Stakes over C&D (good) earlier in the month but this looks a step too far.

Form: 3-14

(10)

Sukanya³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Channon| OR: 102

25/1

Havana Grey filly who made a winning start at Newbury over 6f last summer. Enhanced her form in defeat thereafter and took a big step forward when winning 14-runner Fred Darling Stakes at same track (7f, good) on return recently. Had bit in hand that day and worth a try at this level.

Form: 17429-1

True Love²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 116| BF| C| D

4/6

Progressed further to add a Classic success to the Group 1 she took at Newmarket at 2 yrs when winning 19-runner 1000 Guineas at same course (1m) 3 weeks ago, looking suited by a further step up in trip. Open to further progress, there's every chance she will complete a Guineas double.

Form: 1218-11

Forecasts

True Love (4/6), Precise (4/1), Abashiri (6/1), America Queen (20/1), Sukanya (25/1), Black Caviar Gold (28/1), Kensington Lane (28/1), Hope Queen (28/1), Pivotal Attack (33/1), Magny Cours (33/1), Beautify (40/1), Sinmara (66/1)

TRUE LOVE posted one of the better winning performances in recent years when giving Aidan O'Brien an eighth 1000 Guineas at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and with the ceiling of her ability yet to be ascertained, she can emulate Winter and Hermosa in completing a Guineas double for this yard. Precise and Abashiri were beaten a similar distance by the selection on reappearance last time and it would be no surprise to see them get closer here.
