5/4
Tasted Grade 1 and 2 success in the US last summer (also second in Breeders' Cup final start) and improved again when proving 4½ lengths too strong for the reopposing Elmalka in Group 2 Dahlia at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) last month. Leading claims despite her 3 lb penalty.

Queen Mary winner at this meeting in 2023. No impact in the 5f King Charles at this meeting last year but back on track reinvented as a miler this year, building on AW reappearance second to Soprano when going one better in Goodwood listed race last month. This is a much stronger race, though.

6/1
Moyglare and Irish 1000 Guineas winner who was also second in the Matron last autumn. Shaped as if better for run when 5½ lengths sixth of 8 to Lead Artist in Lockinge at Newbury (1m, firm) on reappearance. Wears first-time cheekpieces. Leading form claims in this slightly lower grade.

Progressive in 2024 and took another step forward when accounting for 8 rivals in the Group 3 Park Express on her Curragh reappearance (good) in April. Fine ½-length second of 8 to Porta Fortuna in Group 2 back there (good) since. Each-way claims if fully effective on this likely quicker ground.

8/1
Convincing winner of this 12 months ago. Latest 10.5f Haydock listed second suggests she retains her ability, but this looks a stronger renewal than last year. First-time cheekpieces are added.

Won the Sandringham at this meeting last year (also placed in Group 1s in autumn). Edged out Crimson Advocate in 1m Kempton listed race on reappearance in March but more will be needed to prevail in this strong Group 2.

16/1
Progressed into a smart filly for Henri-Francois Devin last year, winning Vichy listed and second in Longchamp Group 3 (both 1¼m). Not seen to best effect when fifth in 1m Longchamp listed event on reappearance for new yard but even a return to her peak form is unlikely to be good enough here.

Forecasts

Cinderella's Dream (5/4), One Look (5/1), Fallen Angel (6/1), Crimson Advocate (13/2), Running Lion (8/1), Elmalka (10/1), Start Of Day (16/1), Soprano (16/1)

Verdict

CINDERELLA'S DREAM was most impressive when proving way too strong for a couple of these in the Group 2 Dahlia at the Newmarket Guineas meeting and might be up to giving the weight away if showing up here in similar form. Fallen Angel competes below the highest level for the first time in nearly 2 years and can give Charlie Appleby's filly most to do ahead of One Look.
