UNFORGETABLE FILLY lived up to her name when streaking away with a Haydock Listed race last time by no less than eight lengths.
That was over this mile distance and she’s been given a little break since then so should be fresh.
The ground suits and there could easily be more to come.
Agrotera won the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot and went down in a photo at Longchamp last time, which was a good effort.
Laugh Aloud is another threat dropping in class on just her third run of the campaign. She won this race in 2016.
COMEBACK TRAIL Gold Cup hero Coneygree nearing a return to the track

STAR ROCK has been knocking on the door in Group 2 contests, including when an unlucky third in the Lillie Langtry Stakes at Goodwood last month.
She followed that up by going down in a photo in Germany last time in what looks a good race. She has winning form over course and distance and should handle the ground.
If not, Sun Maiden will find this easier than her third behind Lah Ti Dar at York last time where she didn’t really hit top gear. She’s still learning and has more to offer.

YOURTIMEISNOW made a good impression when winning a Salisbury Group 3 last time out on just her fourth career start.
That was over 6f but she’s bred to be better over this extra furlong and looks certain to improve again.
Main Edition wasn’t disgraced in a Curragh Group 1 last time on. The back of winning in this grade over couse and distance.
She also won the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot so clearly has a touch of class.
3.35
MUSTASHRY showed good heart when winning a Doncaster Group 2 last time out despite a muddling pace. He kept pulling out more when it was needed to win with a bit left in the tank.
The step up to this distance from 7f should suit as he’s won over further and the fast ground is his favourite.
Zabeel Prince hasn’t run since the Lockinge in May but earlier looked a good prospect when winning a Doncaster Listed race and should be nice and fresh.
4.10
ESTIHDAAF was beaten a shot-head on debut at York 19 days ago and wouldn’t have to improve much to go one better.
That was over this 7f trip on similar ground and he should have learned from the experience.
He’s not the Godolphin first string on jockey bookings though with William Buick on Velorum who is bred to like this trip so keep an eye on him in the betting.
4.45
COMMUNIQUE enjoyed himself when upped to this distance for a win at Newbury last time out. He tanked along and was value for further than the official margin.
There was some cut there but he has gone well in former conditions so that shouldn’t be an issue.
Barsanti is best over this distance and may not have handled Windsor last time. He won a Listed race earlier this season and likes this trip.
5.15
LITTLE JO can defy a 4lb penalty and land his fourth win on the bounce. He was very impressive at Newcastle last time when picking up from what looked a strong pace to win going away.
He scooted in the time before here over a mile but the extra furlong shouldn’t be a problem. He looks capable of stepping up the grades yet further.
Keyser Soze has been a little hit and miss this season but it looked as though there was plenty of ability there when he was second in a muddling race at Haydock last time.
