Selected odds by:
A big-money breeze-up buy who created an excellent impression when readily making all in a 6.5f maiden at Doncaster on debut 20 days ago. The runner-up has franked that from subsequently and she rates a smart prospect.
|
Improving by the run, supplementing her course success in 9-runner novice at Carlisle (5.8f) 22 days ago, drawing clear over 1f out and kept up to work. Open to further improvement.
|
Ten Sovereigns filly who made a successful start to her career in 9-runner maiden at the Curragh (6f, soft) 53 days ago, leading close home. That form has worked out better than expected and she's open to improvement.
|
Cotai Glory filly who showed fair form in making a winning start in 5f maiden at Catterick 21 days ago, green early but picking up to good effect once her stamina kicked in. Will be suited by 6f and open to improvement.
|
Blue Point filly who showed plenty of ability amidst inexperience when second in 5f novice event at Leicester on debut 24 days ago, clear of rest. Yard's horses tend to improve a lot for an outing, so not without each-way hope up in trip for all that this is a big step up.
|
Exceed And Excel filly who looked a fine prospect in justifying favouritism first time up in 10-runner novice at Newmarket (6f) 34 days ago, value for loads extra considering how readily she overcame trouble. Open to significant improvement.
|
Made a winning debut at Redcar in April and showed a little improvement when third in 7-runner listed race at Vichy (5f) but this is a whole out tougher. Up in trip.
|
Built on debut promise when ready winner of 15-runner maiden at Newbury (6f, firm) 16 days ago. Had plenty in her favour on that occasion but further progress can't be ruled out.
|
No Nay Never filly who belied market weakness when making a winning start in 9-runner maiden at the Curragh (6f, good) 26 days ago, overcoming greenness. Open to improvement.
|
240,000 gns 2-y-o, Territories filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Lezoo and 6f winner Daltrey. Shaped very well pitched in at the deep end on debut when neck second to Porta Fortuna in Naas Group 3 (5.9f) 33 days ago, clear of rest. Sure to improve.
|
Confirmed debut promise when getting up close home in 9-runner maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) on UK debut 17 days ago. Remains with potential but this is a big ask.
|
Ran to a high level for a newcomer when making a winning debut at Newmarket in April. That performance is backed up by the clock but she went backwards from that when only fourth of 9 in York listed event. Needs to get back on the up.
|
Overcame inexperience to win 8-runner maiden at the Curragh (5f, heavy) on debut and showed much improved form when following up in 13-runner Group 3 at Naas last month, sealing it with a striking turn of foot and close down by Navassa Island only late on. Will go on improving.
|
Dubawi filly who made a winning start in 10-runner minor event at Ripon (6f, good to firm) 22 days ago, despite not everything going her way (forced to switch 2f out). That form is nothing out of the ordinary but she's likely to improve.
|
Stepped up on debut form when third in 10-runner maiden at Kempton (6f) 16 days ago but another big chunk of improvement needed to get competitive here.
|
Harzand filly who overcame inexperience to land a 6f Haydock novice 4 weeks ago, albeit able to race on the stand rail from a handy draw. Entitled to progress.
|
Starspangledbanner filly who was strong in the betting and looked a good prospect when making a winning start in a 5f Newmarket maiden in early May. The runner-up has since franked that form by landing the Hilary Needler at Beverley, so she's a leading player with improvement on the cards.

Forecasts
Carla's Way (10/3), Porta Fortuna (5/1), Navassa Island (5/1), Jabaara (6/1), Soprano (13/2), Matrika (9/1), Gushing Gold (18/1), Persian Dreamer (20/1), Dawn Charger (22/1), Do It With Style (25/1), Pretty Crystal (33/1), Flaccianello (33/1), Mapmaker (50/1), Komat (66/1), Sarakana (66/1), Passionately (100/1), Snafiya (100/1), Rating (150/1)
CARLA'S WAY created an excellent impression when justifying favouritism on her Doncaster debut and, with the runner-up going on to frank the form in a big way, she makes plenty of appeal now stepping up in grade. Of the opposition, Jabaara was value for considerably more at Newmarket and is open to oodles of improvement, while Soprano and Navassa Island are others that look capable of making an impact.
