Havana Pusey
Excellent second in this race (good to firm) last year, when conceding weight to a winner who went on to better things; back to form when outstaying Shallow at Yarmouth (7f, good; similar terms today) in April and has since run well in a Group 3; early stumble cost her at Musselburgh since but she shouldn't be far away back in a handicap.

Song N Dance
Came on plenty as a 3yo, winning a 7f turf novice and her handicap debut on Newcastle AW (1m); showed her mettle back on turf at Ascot (1m, good) in May, when dividing subsequent winners of a Listed race and the Kensington Palace at Royal Ascot, and there's a good chance she can do just as well in a strongly run race back at 7f; has every chance.

Just A Girl
Her one win from ten starts came in a Lingfield novice as 2yo but she's improving and produced best effort when dividing higher-rated fillies in a Listed race at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) last month; inevitably has torpedoed her handicap mark as a result, going up 10lb, and needs extra back at this level.

True Test
Winner of first two starts, both over 7f, including at this course; hard to place since but her sights are lowered after running in the 1,000 Guineas and the Sandringham (1m, good to firm) at Royal Ascot, where she ran with great credit on the far side of the stands' group; solid chance back at 7f for last year's winning trainer-jockey combination.

Machadadorp
Lacks experience but not spirit as she showed when hanging on to her lead in a novice at Wetherby (from a subsequent winner) four weeks ago, making it 2-2 over 7f; open to improvement but will need it against some who already have solid handicap form under their belts.

Ruby's Angel
Recorded 33-1 success in a valuable 6f York handicap last summer and has run some good races over that trip as a 3yo, including when overcoming a wide draw with aplomb at Chester in May; failed to stay 7f on the AW on her final 2yo start but might have needed a rest by then; has a bit to prove but it's possible she'll fare better on this second attempt at the trip.

Shallow
Often leads; all wins at 6f and although Havana Pusey wore her down only late on at Yarmouth in April, on her most recent 7f run, all the signs are that she will give best to stronger stayers, as in this race last year.

Planet Seeker
All races at 6f, winning on debut at Goodwood but having a difficult task when third in a Group 3 at Salisbury on her next and final juvenile start; never looked comfortable over the trip on belated return in an AW novice at Southwell last month but her powerful finish into fourth strongly suggests she'll improve for an extra furlong now handicapping; considered.

A promising challenge petered out in sole 7f run, on Kempton AW last September, and she was all the better for the return to 6f when winning there next time; never involved from a wide draw behind Ruby's Angel at Chester (6f) on May return and, although the run was probably needed, she still has to prove her stamina for this far; hood left off on last two starts, now refitted.
