G2 – 1600m – Turf

1 Magic Lily Travels well and fights hard, qualities that saw her thrive at Meydan earlier this year, including two G2 wins. However she would benefit from a longer trip than this.
2 Agincourt A four-times winner, having her first Ascot start. Ran a fair race at Kempton on her 2020 return considering she was giving weight to most of her rivals.
3 Iconic Choice The stable is going quite well and Oisin Murphy rides for the first time. Even so, she’s been well beaten in her last seven starts.
4 Invitational Has sometimes played up at the stalls but seems genuine and has won four of her nine starts, including in Listed company in France.
5 Jubiloso From a stable with a good record in this and this filly was a good third in a G1 (1594m) at this meeting last year, a career-best performance.
6 Lavender’s Blue Has tried further but judging by two excellent starts late last season this is her ideal trip. Fourth in a G1 on the last of those, and a shade unlucky in running.
7 Miss O Connor A lightly-raced unbeaten mare who has won off an 85-day and 77-day break so the gap since her excellent G3 victory at Saint-Cloud is no worry. Likes to be up front.
8 Nazeef Has matured into an exciting filly, winning her last four starts and, despite not an ideal trip, she pounced to beat some strong rivals at Kempton this month.
9 Posted Her two career wins have come in fast ground handicaps over shorter than this. Not beaten far on her 2020 return but not an obvious winner.
10 Queen Power Encouraging that she relaxed much better early on than she sometimes has when a solid runner-up in a 2000m G2 at Newmarket this month.
11 Wasmya Although not yet proven her French trainer seems sure she’ll stay. She won three consecutive races last season and made an encouraging 2020 return at Longchamp.
