Listed – 2371m – Turf

1 Amma Grace A beautifully bred filly who has chances of giving her Irish stable another win in this race. Should be sharper for her fourth on her first start at this trip at Cork this month.
2 Cabaletta From the stable that won this last year. Excuses surely for a shocking run in a first-time visor last time, but had previously run a very respectable third in a Haydock G2.
3 Domino Darling Her best two starts were at around this trip, especially last time when she was doing her best work in the closing stages at Salisbury, shouldering top weight then.
4 Forbearance Lots to like about the way she shot clear in a Down Royal handicap. Despite racing too freely was a good third in a Leopardstown G3 last time and this shorter trip looks more suitable.
5 Goldie Hawk Up to Listed grade after winning handicaps with authority on two of her last three starts. Has a winning attitude, and may be at her very best on a slow surface.
6 Dubai Fountain Has had a break since an inexplicably disappointing display in a Haydock G2. Ran much better when fifth in a Royal Ascot G2 previously. But a bit more needed.
7 Abstinence This lightly-raced filly appears to be improving. Although she didn’t manage to sustain her challenge, she looked to stay this trip when third in Listed company at Newmarket.
8 Brunnera Has won two of her last three starts, both 2000m handicaps on Newmarket’s July Course. Now needs to prove herself at York up in distance and in Listed class.
9 Glenartney Outclassed – not disgraced – in a G3 here in May on her 2021 return. Was making some late headway in a Listed race subsequently suggesting that this longer trip may suit.
10 Pennymoor This expensive purchase is having her fourth start but is getting her act together judging by a very impressive novices’ victory on the Kempton all-weather this month.
11 Portfolio Two decisive handicap wins before moving up to this grade and up to this trip when a close third at Newmarket last month. There could easily be more improvement to come.
12 Vesela Has tried this Listed level on all three starts in 2021 running good races each time without looking like winning. The move up to this trip could well be helpful.
