G3 – 1594m – Turf

1

Ameynah

Only win in a maiden but this lightly-raced well-regarded filly wasn’t beaten far in a G1 Newmarket Classic last year, her last start. Entered for some G1 contests later in the year.

2

Random Harvest

Stable won this two years ago. Only previous run over the round mile here was very good – a near miss in a red-hot handicap – and came close to a G2 victory over the straight mile here in June.

3

Roman Mist

Debut for this stable when leading throughout to win a heavy-ground Listed race at Goodwood in May. Led – racing keenly – before running out of steam in a Royal Ascot handicap last month.

4

Zenga

Only win so far on an all-weather surface. Unlucky not to finish closer than fourth in a Listed event at Pontefract this month, appearing to lose her balance at a crucial stage.

5

Cadeau Belle

Unbeaten in two starts, achieving the notable feat of winning a Listed event directly after winning a maiden, going away from her rivals in the closing stages at Navan latterly. Interesting.

6

Mysterious Love

Completely outclassed her rivals to gain her first win in a maiden at Nottingham in May. Faded from a prominent position in a Listed event at Chantilly subsequently.

7

Rose Prick

A close third in a 1400m handicap here last year. Made some late headway after a troubled passage in a Listed event at Chantilly early this month. Today’s rival Thornbrook was 3L ahead of her then.

8

Sea Of Thieves

Despite not having an ideal passage, she still managed to score a shock 66-1 victory in a fast-ground novices’ event at Haydock in May. Then ran a good second at Newbury. Worth a crack at this G3.

9

Thornbrook

Put two modest performances in strong company behind her when narrowly winning a Listed event over this trip at Chantilly early this month.

10

Vetiver

Facts and figures suggest continued improvement, and she showed guts to win a Listed event at Carlisle on her latest start. Soft ground preferred.
