1

Albaflora

Although only at Listed level it is encouraging that her career best effort came over this course and distance – romping to a 7L victory here in May. Some smart efforts since.

2

Tribal Craft

A strong-galloping and tough mare who is best suited to slow ground. The ground was probably too quick on her last two starts. Stays further than this and will want a swift gallop.

3

Eshaada

This big strong filly has only raced four times, nearly winning a G2 over this course and distance in June, despite racing too freely and having a wide trip. A dismal run last time needs forgetting.

4

Invite

Disappointed as favourite for a G2 in Italy but then ran a clear career best on her first start for this stable when putting in a quality winning performance at Chester last month.

5

Lady Hayes

Disappointing on faster ground than she prefers last time. Had previously run a clear career best when second in a soft-ground G2 at Haydock.

6

La Joconde

Her only win came in maiden company, and though twice placed in G1’s, she would look an unlikely winner here. 

7

Mystery Angel

Placed in group races this year and effective at this trip. But she has had a very busy year and looks vulnerable to fresher types. Best on quick ground.

8

Snowfall

With unexpected absentees from this she will surely start favourite to resume her G1 winning spree of earlier this season. Making her debut at Ascot but ground and trip ideal.
