9/5

Comment: Only fourth at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) but wilted late on to be beaten just a length against male opposition and she was strong in the market at a shade of odds-on; clearly held in some regard and improvement looks on the cards; steps up a furlong with Ryan Moore taking over.

Snow Light

Jockey: W Buick Trainer: Charlie Appleby Age/Wt: 2/9-2

7 tips

9/4

Comment: Dark Angel filly; second foal out of a Listed-placed 7f winner (RPR 96) who made a successful debut in this very maiden in 2019; stable has captured this race five times in eight years, latterly with subsequent 1,000 Guineas heroine Desert Flower; everything points towards a big run first time out.

Dancing Flower

Jockey: James Doyle Trainer: Charlie Appleby Age/Wt: 2/9-2

1 tip

13/2

Comment: Second foal; closely related to Japanese 6f turf winner Koseki; dam 7f/1m winner (RPR 92), sister to 7f 2yo Group 3 winner/Oaks runner-up Dance Sequence; one of two debutantes for her yard and jockey arrangements shine a brighter light on Snow Light.

New Vega

Jockey: Harry Davies Trainer: Simon & Ed Crisford Age/Wt: 2/9-2

15/2

Comment: Price shot up from £50,000 as yearling to 450,000euros at a breeze-up sale in May; by New Bay; first foal out of a half-sister to useful winners Ebony (French 9.5f 2yo) and Encipher (7f 2yo); likely capable of a competitive show on debut.

Fan Me

Jockey: Tom Marquand Trainer: William Haggas Age/Wt: 2/9-2

8/1

Comment: Too Darn Hot filly; fourth foal; half-sister to winners Ready To Venture (5.5f-8.3f; including a Canadian Grade 3; RPR 107) and Just Wonder (Qatari 7f); dam Group-placed 1m4f winner (108), half-sister to Group 1 winners George Washington (6f-1m) and Grandera (1m2f); has to be monitored in the market.

Ice Sovereigns

Jockey: Billy Loughnane Trainer: Charlie Johnston Age/Wt: 2/9-2

12/1

Comment: Daughter of Ten Sovereigns; 62,000gns buy as a yearling; fourth foal; sister to 1m 2yo winner Nor Time Nor Tide (RPR 96), half-sister to 1m and 1m2f (Listed) winner Galleria Borghese (105); dam unraced sister to 1m 2yo Group 1 winner Kingsbarns; others have more striking pedigrees but she would be of interest should market vibes offer encouragement.

Frustration

Jockey: S D Bowen Trainer: James Owen Age/Wt: 2/9-2

33/1

Comment: Ulysses filly; fifth foal; sister to 2m hurdle winner Climate Precedent and half-sister to winners White Chapel Road (7f 2yo; RPR 82) and Femme Friendly (6f 2yo; 79); dam unraced half-sister to Group-placed 6f 2yo winner Alamode, from superb family of Champion Stakes winner Alborada; bred to have a future.

Comment: Frankel filly and the first foal out of Indie Angel who won a 1m Group 2 at Royal Ascot for the same connections; that's a seriously nice pedigree and she has to be of interest on debut.

Comment: Kept on for second on handicap/seasonal debut at Goodwood (7f, good) in May and another big run when sixth of 25 in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last month (1m, good to firm; favourite); the drop back in trip isn't an obvious positive but this progressive 3yo is still firmly in calculations.

Comment: Looked good when taking career record to 2-3 with a comfortable all-the-way success in a novice on the Rowley Mile here (good) eight weeks ago; that form has been boosted, so even an opening mark of 100 may not prove beyond this smart prospect from stable with a very strong record in this race.

Comment: Very useful filly whose 5f record features a Group 3 win last September; faces a difficult task on ratings but is interesting returned to 6f, having posted form figures of 2111 over this distance, most recently bagging Listed honours on French soil last August.

Comment: Has shown very useful form on home soil and internationally, including a success in Qatar and close second in US Grade 2 this year; below par last time and faces a stiffer assignment on this return to British racing; gained last domestic win in 2023.

Comment: Yet to score above Listed level; good second of eight, belying his 28-1 odds, in this race two years ago but has failed to repeat the form since and faces a deeper field back here; behind some of today's rivals at Royal Ascot most recently.

Comment: Bits of Group 1 form over 5f for previous yard; hasn't looked the same horse this season for new stable, beaten about 6l and never landing a blow in major handicap returned to 6f most recently; has the worst chance on 2025 results.
