Cry Fiction

Came from the rear to gain a surprise victory on her debut, a fast-ground Windsor maiden. Took another step forward when second – also at long odds – in a Listed event at Newmarket.

Dazzling Star

Inexperienced on her debut but much sharper second time when comfortably winning a Newmarket maiden over this trip. The second horse did not enhance that form on a subsequent run.

Elinor Dashwood

Improved significantly from her first to her second start when a strong finish saw her beating ten rivals in a 1200m maiden at Haydock this month.

Gladly Ever After

Not particularly fancied according to the betting when facing more experienced rivals on her debut but, after a slow start, impressively made ground to win that Chepstow maiden decisively.

Komat

Won over 1000m on soft ground on her debut, and has twice performed decently in stronger company since, finishing fast into sixth of 17 in a 1200m Royal Ascot G3 last month.

La Guarida

An impressive 1200m maiden winner on fast ground at Goodwood but has not managed to improve on that in two starts since though a respectable fifth of 20 at Newbury last Saturday.

Lunar Shine

Looked to have a difficult task half-way through a 1200m Thirsk novices’ event on her debut – in June – but this expensive purchase then accelerated impressively to win easily.

Pretty Crystal

Has a smart pedigree and justified strong market support to win on fast ground over 1200m at Ripon on her career debut. Then ran quite a close fifth in a Royal Ascot G3. May not want slow ground.

Sacred Angel

Showed the benefit of her debut run when landing a ten-runner maiden over this trip at Newmarket this month. Both starts so far were on fast ground and it is likely to be much softer here.

Soprano

May start favourite for this. Well backed prior to making a winning debut at Newmarket, then a strong-finishing third – after briefly looking outpaced – in a Royal Ascot G3 over this trip. Finished third at Sandown just on Thursday.

Symbology

An expensive yearling purchase, she has plenty of speed in her pedigree and showed that when outpacing seven rivals – despite looking inexperienced – over 1200m at York this month.
