#6 Dream Castle: Decent 5th after nightmare trip in the Guineas, gets class relief; look out. #8 Glastonbury Song: Ok Irish Guineas 4th but is lightly raced, with upside too; price appeal. #5 Daban: Classy filly was a good 3rd to two Coolmore stars in 1000 Guineas; very intriguing. #9 Le Brivido: Big 2nd in French Guineas, but not sure the quality of that heat; must step up. #8 Happy Like A Fool: Ward filly was sharp at Kee and is a huge fancy locally; the day’s best. #9 Heartache: Sharp on debut at Bath and the only local taking any real action; second-best. #6 Formidable Kitt: Bet hard on debut at Nmk and will like the firm course; sticks around? #19 Out Of The Flames: Easy second-out win at Windsor and has a local run; exotics appeal. #7 Laugh Aloud: Loved the GIII jog at Epsom and Godolphin is rolling here early; lots to like. #10 Qemah: Local GI miss disappointed in her comeback and is an underlay; must prove it. #8 Mix And Mingle: In form and beat ‘Q last time, but this is a step up again; tread lightly. #15 Usherette: Defending champ drops and hasn’t been in this light in a long time; playable. #7 Ulysses: Looked like a bigger, stronger 4yo in his return and gets pace; love his chances. #2 Highland Reel: BC Turf hero beat noting in GI last time but will like the ground; must-use. #3 Jack Hobbs: Big Dubai GI but has been off since and may struggle at 12fs; mixed signals. #9 Queen’s Trust: BC F&M Turf star will be closing, but the top-3 are solid; underneath only. #23 Abe Lincoln: Good 2nd-of-28 here in last, and that big field run helps; call in a scramble. #25 G K Chesterton: Versatile sort enters off two straight for Godolphin; could blow it up. #26 George William: Came up a troubled 2nd in last but will like 1m a bit better; dangerous. #21 Fastnet Tempest: Beat GW and is in raging form but may be better a tad shorter; using. #2 Bean Feasa: GIII winner will love the drop after Guineas try for Godolphin; upset special. #6 On Her Toes: Ran like a short horse when 2nd in return and should improve; major player. #17 Gymnaste: Tepid chalk has upside, but only three lifetime starts in this huge field; iffy. #16 Sibilance: Mirrors ‘Gym with three runs, though she’s an obvious talent too; in the mix.
