Looks worth another chance to confirm the high promise of her win on this card last year
13 (10)	Survie Bay J:Ryan Moore T:George Boughey	J:Ryan Moore T:George Boughey	128	t	40-134	112	127	117	36d	—	—	+5	19.9	1.00/1	4/1 20%
Has several pieces of Group 1 form, including Saudi effort for new yard; big player
3 (4)	Cathedral Bay J:David Egan T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	J:David Egan T:Kevin Philippart De Foy	128	—	2454-3	113	129	114	36d	—	—	+9	22.8	1.25/1	5/1 17%
Form includes three good efforts at Group/Grade 1 level; leading player on ratings
11 (6)	Sand Gazelle Chestnut J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	J:William Buick T:John & Thady Gosden	128	—	30127-	105	119	106	205d	—	—	+14	26.2	1.63/1	13/2 13%
Low-mileage filly; broadly progressive and may have more to offer this term
4 (5)	Chantilly Lace Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	J:Rossa Ryan T:Ralph Beckett	128	—	/5535-	104	118	106	228d	—	—	+10	17.8	2.25/1	9/1 10%
Lightly raced; consistent until below par on last appearance; may rebound
9 (1)	Miss Justice Bay J:Billy Loughnane T:Brian Meehan	J:Billy Loughnane T:Brian Meehan	128	—	21152-	102	116	101	205d	—	—	+22	29.1	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Close second at Newmarket on final start for the Gosdens; sold 750,000gns since
8 (3)	Jancis Chestnut J:Sean Levey T:W McCreery	J:Sean Levey T:W McCreery	128	t	55462-	102	119	109	177d	—	—	+13	19.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Useful sort but looks unlikely to regain the winning thread in this field
7 (8)	Francophone Bay J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	J:Jason Hart T:Charlie Johnston	128	—	45561-	105	118	93	219d	—	—	+19	25.5	3.00/1	12/1 8%
Listed win at Newmarket on last appearance; unlikely to follow up in this grade
5 (13)	Cheshire Dancer Grey J:David Probert T:Hugo Palmer	J:David Probert T:Hugo Palmer	128	p	32147-	103	121	110	211d	—	—	+17	21.5	7.00/1	28/1 3%
Chance of landing this prize depends on the effects of first-time headgear
1 (7)	American Gal Bay J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	J:Tom Marquand T:Ed Walker	128	—	7277-7	99	116	107	36d	—	—	+10	13	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Not in the same form since close second in Ascot Group 3 on King George day

Group 2 winner on French soil but this is a stronger contest for the level
NR (2)	Stateira Chestnut J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	J:Oisin Murphy T:Andrew Balding	128	—	812-11	102	117	51	30d	—	—	—	13	—	—
Doing well on AW but is far from certain to sustain her progress back on turf
