1400m – Turf

1

Bellosa

Won her first two starts – over this trip – at three, but was outpaced when dropped to 1200m on her only start this season. Improvement required.

2

Improvised

Her three career wins came last season, but her third in a Listed event last time suggested another victory may come soon.

3

Stunning Beauty

Has not progressed into a Group race filly as previously hoped and her three career wins all came over further than this. A fast-run race needed.

4

Mobadra

Has won three of her six starts, latterly when returning from a break to deliver a career best performance with a stylish victory at Chelmsford. Chance.

5

Girl On Film

A big filly who looked very promising when winning at Newmarket on debut. Has had a break and now in a handicap after a poor 2022 return.

6

Adaay In Asia

Has blossomed lately accelerating from the back to win 1200m handicaps at Goodwood and Ascot. This longer trip looks fine on pedigree.

7

Illustrating

Some smart sprinting form at two, including third in a Longchamp G3. Not at that level so far in 2022 and now up in trip and into a handicap.

8

Eidikos

Prominent riding tactics being used this season but she has lacked a finishing kick in Listed and G3 company. Could do better now handicapping.

9

One Small Step

Her Irish-based trainer is worried that this track might not be ideal. But she comes here having won a handicap this month, and the expected fast pace in this will suit.

10

Truely Aclaimed

Showed smart acceleration to win a handicap over this course and distance in May. Has a 10lb harder handicap mark but always gives her best.

11

Espressoo

Only just beaten in a handicap here in May, but didn’t progress in two subsequent handicaps. Perhaps this return to York will help.

12

No Nay Nicki

Probably helped by having a hood fitted last time, finishing well but just unable to give weight to one rival in a fast-ground Doncaster handicap.

13

Queen Aminatu

Ran a cracker when a strong-finishing second after a horrible trip at Haydock last time. Definite winning chance given more luck here.

14

Sound Of Iona

Has won seven of her 43 starts, including three consecutive handicap wins this season. But on a tough handicap mark and not proven at this trip.
