7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 6y Class 1 |
9st 5lb |
Could hardly be coming into this in better form, winning four of her last five starts including another Listed event at Chester (7f, good) ten days ago; still favoured on these terms despite her 3lb penalty and although the stiffer mile is one small question mark, she is a major player nonetheless. |

27th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 1y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
This 5yo is in the form of her life at present, gaining a third Musselburgh handicap win of the season when easily seeing off seven rivals 37 days ago; had a wide stall as a an excuse for a slightly below-par effort over the extended 7f here prior to that and she went close here last season; on the shortlist. |

9st 9lb |
5yo who was a big improver at the start of this season, winning a handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) then the Group 3 Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield (7f, good to firm); however, it appears as though she may have gone off the boil on her last two outings; carries a 3lb penalty this afternoon. |

27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 1 |
9st 8lb |
Always behind in the boiling cauldron of a Royal Ascot handicap last week; progressive otherwise and still has good stats, being 9-22 overall, 2-3 this term and 6-11 over 7f (1-1 over C&D); however, has to overcome a 3lb penalty for the Group 3 win achieved against her own sex in May. |

19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 8lb |
Went close in a Group 3 (7f, good) last season on only her second career start; no fireworks as yet this campaign when only sixth in the Nell Gwyn, nowhere in the 1,000 Guineas and a fading fifth from the front in a French Group 2 last time (1m, good); with limitations becoming exposed she's dropped into a handicap, but others are surely more progressive. |
25/1 |

15th 7 (12) |
3rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Frankel filly who has been campaigned exclusively over 7f at Newmarket, producing good performances (won maiden and second in Group 3) from the front last autumn and then not asked to lead when only sixth, beaten favourite, in the Nell Gwyn; may still have more to offer but this is a difficult task in terms of form and tactical considerations. |

7/4 |

20th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Won Carlisle maiden (5f, soft) in June on second start with something to spare; has made the frame in two Listed races since (5f/6f, yielding/good) but was behind Anaisa last time and improvement is necessary. |

9st 7lb |
Has a good strike-rate (4-9) including two Group wins at San Siro (1m, good); twice held since returning to home soil, latest when midfield in the Sandringham at Ascot (1m, good to firm) last month; 2lb drop is not enough to tempt. |

12th 4 (17) |
19th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Has had eight races and posted career win number four in Italy's 1,000 Guineas (good; narrowly); back down to earth in a Listed race at Goodwood where perhaps 1m2f proved a stretch; returns to what is probably her best trip but with a fairly exposed profile. |

9st 11lb |
Campaigned over as far as 10.3f but proved well suited by the drop back to 7f when winning in clearcut style at Yarmouth (good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month; now that connections have found the key, she's open to further improvement; leading contender. |

15th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Sole win from seven starts came in a Wolverhampton novice (8.5f, AW) in October; she ran well when runner-up in a handicap there in April but well beaten over 1m2f on turf in two starts since and now drops to 7f for the first time since her debut; cheekpieces applied. |

Impressed in a 6f fillies' novice at Windsor last June before acquitting herself with credit in Listed/Group 3 company; ended her 2yo campaign with a second-place finish in a valuable sales race in Germany (7f, soft); could progress further this year; interesting on AW debut. |

17th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
8st 9lb |
Progressive handicap form at the start of last summer, winning convincingly at Haydock (7f, good) before excellent fourth of 25 in the Sandringham at this meeting (1m, good to firm); not seen again until a creditable fifth of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap (good) last month and entitled to come on for that run; first-time tongue-tie worn at Thirsk is retained; high on the shortlist under Spencer. |
12/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 0m 7f 218y Class 3 |

Progressive filly who put the race to bed quite convincingly for her first handicap win, at Haydock (7f, good) last May; had a much stiffer task in the Sandringham (1m, good to firm) at Royal Ascot after but ran a cracker in fourth, drifting across from a high draw; off since though so fitness unknown and market helpful; tongue tied this time. |

8th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Just one win to her name from her nine starts but that doesn't do her ability justice as she has regularly acquitted herself well in the face of stiff tasks, most recently finishing close up in a Group 3 at York (6f, good to firm) four weeks ago; interesting on this belated handicap debut. |
12/1 |
|
6th 9 (4) |
10th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Listed runner-up (6f, heavy) last October; also fourth in similar races at Haydock (6f, good to soft) and Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in recent months but her form is more useful than smart and she'll need a big career best to reach the frame in this higher grade. |

First-time cheekpieces and a reduced mark when coming good again at Ripon (6f, good) in May and she was close up in Bintaryana's race at York next time; the latter form in particular raises hopes but she was off her game last time at Pontefract. |

Responded well to first-time cheekpieces and a drop in the weights when winning at Ripon (6f, good) in May and beaten less than a length into fifth of 12 off this mark at York (6f, good) last month; shouldn't be far away. |

Classy pedigree; ready winner when upped to 7f (AW) on final 2yo start; pleasing comeback at Newmarket (6f) in April, when a keeping-on third of 13, just ahead of a subsequent Listed winner; unfortunate to run up against a big improver at Ascot (7f, good) since but aims lower here; solid. |

Made a winning stable debut in a Southwell novice (6f, AW) in January and took another step forward when sixth of eight in a Listed event at Lingfield (7f, AW) next time; now makes her handicap debut having been off since failing to beat a rival in a Goodwood Listed event in May and still needs to prove herself on turf. |

Last on her debut (for Jessica Harrington) at the Curragh in August but she comfortably landed a 6f Southwell maiden in January before improving again when a close sixth of eight in 7f AW Listed event at Lingfield the following month; this demands another sizeable step forward though. |

It was over 7f that she won at the Newmarket July meeting but she raced freely off steady fractions there and won her novice at this trip; 1lb lower than last time if taking into account Ashley Lewis's claim and this improving filly could yet rate higher. |

Four wins, including over C&D last season; won off 4lb lower over C&D again in April (good) but has finished second five times since, last week going down by a neck in a 6f fillies' handicap at Goodwood (good); 5lb well in; interesting contender. |

Unexposed 3yo who returned after 207 days off with a dominant display in a Lingfield handicap (6f, AW) last Monday; 3lb well in under a penalty for that success and she's open to more progress on this switch to turf; strong contender. |

Verdict
Last year's winner Royal Velvet has the help of Conor Whiteley taking off 5lb and would be of interest if the ground is good or quicker, while slower ground would be a benefit to Caim on her handicap debut as she won on soft going on her debut. Albaydaa (second choice) should still be capable of better but the well-related STARLIGHT LASS is preferred. She's looked a good prospect when winning two small-field novice events over 1m and the turn of foot she's shown bodes well for this drop back in trip on her handicap debut. Cases can be made for plenty of others in this competitive contest, including Tryst, Carnival Of Light, Machadadorp and Cotai Belle. [Harry March]Selections
