Astral Beau

Although racing too eagerly early on, she showed she handled this track when a close third in this last year. Will need to improve on her G2 run at Newmarket in May.

2

Breege

Only one win from 12 starts but consistent and rarely far from the money. Her very close third in Listed company at Goodwood represented a positive start to 2024.

3

Julia Augusta

Back to a turf surface after a spell on the all-weather and having her first start for this stable. A decent fourth at Kempton last time, but she’ll need to do better to win here.

4

Royal Dress

Made a winning start for this stable when coming from last to win a Listed event over a mile at Goodwood in May, a clear personal best. A slow surface would be a plus.

5

Running Lion

Drops back in trip but that shouldn’t be an issue, and, though she didn’t help herself by hanging left late on, her G2 second at Newmarket last time was a still a good show.

6

Sea Of Thieves

Excuses apparently for a couple of disappointing shows at Ascot last season, but much better when winning a Listed event at Longchamp in April. An interesting contender.

7

Sparks Fly

Achieved the unusual feat of winning six consecutive handicaps last season, later leading throughout to win a Listed event at Saint-Cloud. Soft ground is a big help.

8

Chic Colombine

An ambitious raid on a G1 Classic at Longchamp in May didn’t work out but she had earlier been a very impressive 1600m Listed winner on heavy ground at Saint-Cloud.

9

Glimpsed

A maiden winner on her career debut last year, and she shaped nicely on her 2024 return when fifth at York, though giving the impression that she needs at least this trip.
