G2 – 2392m – Turf

1 Anastarsia Jockey bookings suggest that she’s the stable’s third string here. Finished 5L behind today’s rival Miss Yoda at Lingfield, not looking to handle that track.
2 Bharani Star Up to almost this distance for her 2020 return, showing plenty of guts to force a dead-heat in a Haydock handicap. This is tougher.
3 Born With Pride Created a good impression when a Newmarket Listed winner on her sole 2019 start. Disappointed in a G3 on her return but can surely do better.
4 Ennistymon Rallied well when pressed to beat 14 rivals – including some very well regarded ones – in a 2000m maiden at Leopardstown this month.
5 Frankly Darling Despite looking very inexperienced and having to race wide she made a really good winning reappearance on the Newcastle all-weather this month.  Looks to have class and stamina.
6 Golden Lips Leading and kicked clear turning into the straight, she briefly looked like bringing off a huge shock, then kept battling when second in Listed company at Lingfield.
7 Hold Fast Stable in hot form and despite racing too freely and having to challenge wide, she made a winning 2020 start at Kempton. This longer trip could suit.
8 Miss Yoda Upset in the gates and looked in trouble for much of the race, but was well on top at the end winning a Listed event at Lingfield this month. No trip worries.
9 Passion A stylish winner of her maiden but a bit disappointing in two starts since including when favourite at Navan this month. Up in distance but that might help.
10 So I Told You Won a maiden on heavy ground last year and made quite an encouraging 2020 start when fifth in a Lingfield Listed event, though never looking like winning.
11 Trefoil Stable hitting form and though immature last year she still managed to win at Newmarket on her only start. Encouraging back there on her 2020 return.
12 West End Girl Quite busy at two, including a front-running G3 victory at Newmarket. Didn’t look happy over Lingfield’s gradients but still made an encouraging return there this month.
