J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Low-mileage 3yo whose turf form features three creditable efforts at Group level, tad better than the bare result in Newmarket contest (1m4f; slightly hampered) most recently; 1-1 on AW and big player on ratings.

8st 12lb

J: Oisin Murphy

T: John & Thady Gosden

Runner-up in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm) in June and, while that form hasn't worked out, the Group 3 in which she was fourth at Deauville (1m4f, good to soft) last month has been boosted by the subsequent exploits of the runner-up/fifth; could be a contender.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: John & Thady Gosden

Made debut in May and won at Southwell (1m4f, AW) on second start before very creditable second at 40-1 in the Group 2 Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot (1m4f, good to firm), albeit no match for the winner; every chance she'll continue to progress and she has leading form claims now back down in grade.

9st 2lb

J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Built upon the promise of last month's debut run at Newmarket (1m2f, good) when winning comfortably at 5-4 at Southwell (1m4f, AW); takes on vastly tougher opposition today and has by far the worst chance on ratings, but she's one of three for a stable with an excellent record in this race and it remains to be seen where the ceiling of her ability lies.

8st 13lb

J: Tyler Heard

T: John & Thady Gosden

13-2 when fourth of six on her Newmarket debut (1m2f, good) this month; closely related to a C&D winner and one for the shortlist with the run under her belt.
