Aunty Rose (IRE) Returned from an injury this year but certainly showed plenty of ability last year (third in Nell Gwyn Stakes); trip should suit and she has shown that she acts on going; however, yet to prove she is fully back to form so others are preferred.
Peacock Alley (IRE) Rattled up a hat-trick of wins last season and has seemingly continued to progress; she'll form a pretty good benchmark to the value of the form of this race and her seasonal return suggests she is in good order.
Peaceful Paradise Unplaced in the 1,000 Guineas on her seasonal return; clearly well regarded, has shown she handles fast going and the trip will be no problem; the downsides are that she may, in time, prefer further and carries a 3lbs penalty for her Listed win last year.
Ashlinn (IRE) Unplaced in the 1,000 Guineas on latest run; did not progress as well as might have been hoped for on last two runs last year; well thought of by connections but has yet to live up to her billing.
Monnavanna (IRE) Scooted away with a Chester maiden, although that did not look a strong event although the third, Coyote, runs in the 3:05 race today; we will learn more about her today.;
Quick To Please (USA) Well touted Henry Cecil filly who could hardly be better bred; won well on her debut at Doncaster last year and is a very interesting contender.
Sheppard's Watch Won 2 from 4 as a 2-year-old; gradually coming to hand and possibly unlucky in a Listed race at Lingfield last time; she's the only course winner in the race and should run well
Single Honour Rock solid maiden form and should win races this year but she'd have to be very good to win here on her seasonal debut.
