Jancis
Age 5 · 9-5
462-15
112
101
5
9-5
12/1 16/1 11/1
Fitted with a tongue-tie for the first time and carrying 131 lb from stall 9, Jancis arrives just 24 days after finishing fifth in a Group 2 when finishing well but finding the task beyond her — though that Dahlia form is arguably flattered, her best coming from off the pace hoping for trouble in running.
AI verdict

Jancis has a modest Saturday Rating of 101, carries top weight of 9-5, and patchy form of 462-15 makes her an unconvincing non-favourite.

9-2
28/1 33/1 25/1
Arisaig shaped with plenty of promise when fourth, beaten just 2½ lengths in Listed company at Goodwood latest, and a strong pace will play to her hand — this hold-up filly closes best on fast ground and is well suited by today's conditions. The chief concern is her winless recent run of form.
AI verdict

Arisaig's modest Saturday Rating of 89, uninspiring form figures of 330-24, and non-favourite market position combine to suggest limited winning prospects.

9-2
3/1 11/4 3/1
Blue Bolt arrives on the back of a smooth Listed win at Goodwood, travelling well before asserting late, and her record of three wins in her last five starts underlines consistent form; a top course trainer, she's at her best on a sound surface and our rating of 136 marks her the one to beat.
AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 weight with a Saturday Rating of 104, Blue Bolt's 1122-1 form lacks the consistency to compete at this Group 2 level.

9-2
25/1 22/1 25/1
Finished a length second in a Group 2 latest but ranks last of 15 here and has a clear step up in class to find, making her genuinely hard to fancy despite a top course jockey booking and proven versatility on any surface.
AI verdict

Recent form showing a win then a fourth and a two suggests inconsistency, and a 99 Saturday Rating at 9-2 weight offers little competitive edge.

Ran to her very best when landing a Listed prize last time out, and the yard is firing — but 38 days off and a rating of 104 leave her with ground to make up on official marks, even if she's likely to finish strongly over this trip and going.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-2 with a modest Saturday Rating of 94 and inconsistent form of 123-41 limits her winning prospects.

7/1 9/1 6/1
Consistent and versatile, Cathedral was a close second in a Newmarket Group 2 last time despite being caught up in a fierce pace, and that effort reads well for this. Winless in her last five starts, she'll need to convert that form into a clear success here.
AI verdict

Rated just 97 with uninspiring 454-32 form and carrying 9-2 weight as a non-favourite limits Cathedral's winning prospects significantly.

9-2
66/1 33/1 50/1
Returned from 39 days off to finish seventh at Lingfield last time, likely needing that run, but back-to-back modest efforts before that single win make this a tough sell, and ranked 13 of 15 on our figures, there's little to draw you in.
AI verdict

Recent form showing a seventh-place finish and a Saturday Rating of just 89 make Dash Of Azure unconvincing at 9-2 weight.

16/1
Showed her class when winning over today's trip and going, but the Newmarket run 45 days ago — where she raced too freely and was well held at Group 2 level — raises questions about whether she can translate her undoubted ability into a consistent performance.
AI verdict

Recent form figures of /196-6 and a Saturday Rating of just 84 suggest Falakeyah lacks the class for this Group 2 contest.

50/1 50/1 28/1
Held up and needing plenty to go right, Francophone was beaten four lengths in a Group 2 last time and ranks 11th of 15 on our figures — the form profile and rating gap make it hard to fancy, though course-and-distance experience on this going at least counts for something.
AI verdict

Struggling form of 561-40 and a Saturday Rating of just 93 make Francophone an unconvincing contender at 9-2 weight.

9-2
5/1 4/1 9/2
Pulled up last time only after a false step when still going well, and with the yard having won this race in each of the last two years, Friendly Soul arrives with serious claims on the back of three wins in her last five starts — the only question is how much edge she retains after missing most of 2025.
AI verdict

Form shows a pull-up latest after three wins, and a 91 Saturday Rating at 9-2 weight flags significant questions.

9/1 FCST 17/2
Ran to Listed-level form when going down by a short-neck at Longchamp latest, and Group 1 experience demands respect, but 55 days off the track and a stall-12 draw are factors to weigh against a field in which he rates just seventh on our figures.
AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 weight with a Saturday Rating of just 98 and inconsistent form (8147-2), Godspeed lacks the profile to compete at Group 2 level.

Shown she handles the trip and conditions, and her Goodwood Listed placing last time — beaten just three-quarters of a length when worn down late — reads well; 46 days between runs and 128 lb are the checks, but she's capable of making the frame again.
AI verdict

Kon Tiki's modest Saturday Rating of 96 and uninspiring /117-2 form make her an unconvincing 9-2 shot in this Group 2 company.

50/1 FCST 40/1
Noche Clasica brings a progressive profile — three wins in its last five starts — and acts on today's conditions, but this drop in trip may blunt its edge after looking suited by 10f when a close fourth at Listed level last time.
AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 weight with a Saturday Rating of only 93 and inconsistent 131-14 form makes Noche Clasica an unconvincing non-favourite pick.

40/1 22/1 33/1
Winless in her last five starts and struggling to find 2025 form, Shes Perfect boiled over before her latest outing and raced too freely when well held; first-time cheekpieces are a mild interest, but she remains hard to fancy at the foot of the rankings.
AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 weight with inconsistent form (229-36) and a modest Saturday Rating of 92 limits her winning prospects significantly.

Ran well fresh when a close third at Group 3 level last time, and handles today's trip and ground, but ranked near the foot of our assessments and likely needs to find more than that form suggests.
AI verdict

Snellen's Saturday Rating of 99 and inconsistent form reading 4216-3 offer little confidence at 9-2 weight.

Blue Bolt
Confidence: Medium

Blue Bolt (SR 104) is the highest-rated horse in this field by a clear margin and carries 9-2 — the same weight as all but Jancis — meaning no weight penalty to erode that rating advantage. The form string 1122-1 is the standout sequence in the race: a last-time-out win bookended by two seconds at a higher level, indicating a horse that has found consistency and arrived here in peak form. Andrew Balding is a trainer who targets these Ascot summer Group races with intent, and a 4-year-old filly stepping up with a winning run fresh in the memory on Good to Firm ground suits the profile. No other runner combines a top SR, a recent winning form line, and credible trainer intent in the same way. Each-way alternative: Noche Clasica. Main danger: Jancis — Jancis (SR 101, 9-5) is the second-highest rated runner and the 3lb weight advantage she carries over the field is actually a negative here — she is top-weight — but her recent form 462-15 shows a last-run fifth followed by a win which suggests she is coming back to form at the right moment for trainer W McCreery.
