Verdict
3yos have won the last four runnings, with Ralph Beckett saddling the pair who dead-heated for first in this race last year, and the stable's Planet Seeker (second choice) is a tempting option following her impressive handicap win at Newmarket recently. However, the 5yo FLORA OF BERMUDA (nap) is a class act over 6f who has often shaped as though she would be suited by 7f, and she is the selection. 6f Group 3 winner Sayidah Dariyan can also play a leading role if suited by this new trip, while it's too soon to write off Zanthos.[Ben Hutton]

Classy 6f performer who has been placed in Group 1s at that trip and she won a Group 3 at York (6f, good to firm) this month, for which she carries a 3lb penalty today; untested at 7f but she frequently finishes her races strongly, as was the case when fourth in the 2024 Group 1 Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville over 6.5f; leading contender if staying the trip.- 8(6)Sayidah DariyanJ: R L MooreT: R Hughes170-39Weight 9st 6lbsAge 47/23/110/3

Won the Group 3 Summer Stakes at York (6f, good) last July and she's run well in defeat on both starts this season, finishing third to Flora Of Bermuda at Newmarket (6f, good to firm; Listed) before 3l ninth of 18 in the Group 1 Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm); stays well over 6f and this new trip is worth a go; major player if stamina isn't an issue.- 13(9)Planet SeekerJ: J P SpencerT: R M Beckett13-41Weight 9st 0lbsAge 35/15/111/2

Won on debut here (6f, good) last August and beaten on next two starts (6f; including Group 3) before convincing handicap win at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) this month; this is a much tougher test of her credentials but she impressed last time and her dam was a Group 3 winner; trainer saddled two 3yos to dead-heat for first in this race 12 months ago; one to consider.- 14(7)ZanthosJ: Oisin MurphyT: S & E Crisford121-90Weight 9st 0lbsAge 36/15/111/2

Down the field in Group 1s on her two starts this season, specifically the French 1,000 Guineas and the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot; however, today's drop back in grade and first-time tongue-tie could prompt an upturn in fortunes, and she made virtually all to win the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last September; can have a big say if back on song.- 7(1)Radiant BeautyJ: Marco GhianiT: James Owen3-6101Weight 9st 6lbsAge 57/17/115/2

She's thrived since joining this yard and made it 4-7 for the stable when making all in a Listed race at Pontefract (1m, good) three weeks ago; today's company demands further improvement but she might still have more to offer and could make another bold bid.- 4(14)Dash Of AzureJ: H CrouchT: R M Beckett8-7022Weight 9st 6lbsAge 412/110/111/1

She's gone close in Listed races at Chester (7f, good) on her last two starts, beaten just a neck last time when having to challenge wide; she might not be far away.- 9(2)AwakenJ: Billy LoughnaneT: G Boughey194-00Weight 9st 0lbsAge 316/116/118/1

Ran well in fourth behind Zanthos in the Group 2 Rockfel Stakes at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last September on her final 2yo start; however, well beaten on both outings this season and needs to get back on track.- 2(5)Royal VelvetJ: W BuickT: W J Knight5-1105Weight 9st 10lbsAge 522/122/120/1

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.- 12(3)Orion's BeltJ: P J DobbsT: R Hannon13629-Weight 9st 0lbsAge 325/120/122/1

Best 2yo performance came when runner-up in the Group 3 Dick Poole Stakes over 6f at Salisbury last September; flopped in the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket a fortnight later and absent since; her form needs to go to a new level on this comeback outing.- 6(13)Queen's ReignJ: K ShoemarkT: E Walker8032-6Weight 9st 6lbsAge 540/140/150/1

Went very close in big-field Listed race at Deauville (7.5f, AW) last December and she may have needed the run when sixth of seven at Longchamp in April on her return (7f, good to soft; Listed); however, a clear career-best is necessary if she's to make a serious impact this afternoon.- 11(10)Isle Of FernandezJ: T EavesT: K A Ryan134-38Weight 9st 0lbsAge 350/150/140/1

Placed in two Group 3 races (6f/7f, soft/good to soft) and ran well for a long way when eighth of 15 in the French 1,000 Guineas at Longchamp (1m, heavy) in May; drops back in grade today and the return to 7f could also help, but others have stronger claims; unproven on good/good to firm.- 5(8)Havana PuseyJ: C LeeT: J Gallagher-01377Weight 9st 6lbsAge 650/133/140/1

C&D handicap winner who was third to Royal Velvet in a Group 3 at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) in May; however, this exposed 6yo faces a tougher assignment in today's line-up and was ninth of 13 in this race 12 months ago; blew the start at Newmarket last time; hood/tongue-tie are applied.- 10(11)Golden PalaceJ: D EganT: R A Fahey65-738Weight 9st 0lbsAge 366/140/150/1

Won 2yo novice races last July on her first two starts and has run well in defeat in some Group and Listed races since, but she hasn't shown enough to suggest she'll be a serious contender in this.- 3(12)Brazilian RoseJ: Kaiya FraserT: R Menzies413569Weight 9st 6lbsAge 5125/180/1100/1

Four handicap wins at Southwell (7f/6f, AW) early this year; however, unplaced in Listed races on turf on her three outings this summer and she's up against it today.
