Opened her account with a highly encouraging debut victory at The Curragh, beating a well-fancied stablemate by a length and a half, and with a multiple G1-winning dam, the scope for improvement looks considerable; from a yard that has won two of the last five runnings of this race, she merits plenty of respect stepping back out just 15 days later.

Sole win in form and a 135 Saturday Rating show ability, but 9-5 weight and non-favourite market status limit confidence.
Stepped up on a debut effort to take a Leicester maiden by two lengths last time out, but that form was fairly modest and there's a significant jump in class to contend with here; breeding suggests longer trips in time could suit, making this a project in progress.

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with a limited form figure of 91, Celtic Charioteer's 135 Saturday Rating justifies a cautious mid-tier assessment.
Showed a neat change of gear on debut to win a Leopardstown maiden by three-quarters of a length, with that form since boosted, and the 7f trip suits; the rise in grade is the test now, and first-time racecourse keenness remains a watch point.

Nola Soul's single win in form and 9-5 weight cap limit confidence despite a solid 135 Saturday Rating.
Pricey Justify colt — sold for 220,000gns as a two-year-old — with a useful staying half-sister suggesting stamina shouldn't be an issue, though probably best suited to 7f; debuts from stall 10 carrying 131lb, and a first outing at this level is a stern test.

Low Saturday Rating of 130 and unfavoured market position at 9-5 weight suggest limited winning prospects.
Pikachu showed plenty on debut, finishing just a half-length adrift of a more experienced rival in a Thirsk novice, and acts on today's trip and going — yet to score in recent starts, but that form should leave room for improvement at 131lb from stall 15.

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with a single form figure of 2 and no market confidence, Pikachu's 134 Saturday Rating fails to inspire.
Bolted up by three lengths on debut at Redcar, and that maiden form reads well enough to suggest she's worth her place stepping up in class; proven at the trip on good ground, though 131 lb and a field of 15 means she faces a sterner test here.

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with a single run of form showing a fourth place finish makes Romanza a risky proposition despite a Saturday Rating of 131.
Finished a promising but outpaced six-length fourth on debut at The Curragh, looking in need of a stiffer test, and breeding suggests today's trip should suit better — yet winless and ranked last of 15 on our figures, and not the stable's main hope here despite the yard's strong record in this race.

A form figure of 4 and a Saturday Rating of 131 at 9-5 weight fail to inspire confidence against stronger market rivals.
Took apart a Lingfield maiden field by four and a half lengths on second start, but that form is modest and this stiffer test of class poses a different question; drawn in stall 1, it may need to settle back early rather than race prominently.

Whispering Moon shaped with some promise on debut at Thirsk 18 days ago, finishing third but outpaced before staying on late — a pattern that hints this trip may already be on the short side. Ranked 11 of 15 on our figures, it's hard to fancy at this stage.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Aix La Chapelle (SR 135, 7/4) is a dominant market leader trained by Aidan O'Brien, whose operation consistently produces Royal Ascot-ready juveniles from debut wins. A sole career run of '1' on what will be similar fast ground gives a clean, unbeaten profile, and the market has compressed to 7/4 with clear conviction — this is not a drifter but a horse the market is actively backing. The 9-5 weight is uniform across most of the field, removing any meaningful lbs advantage for rivals, and the Chesham's Listed status plays to O'Brien's record of pitching lightly-raced, high-ceiling juveniles into exactly this type of contest. While Sea Venture (SR 138) and Aperoll (SR 138) carry marginally superior SRs on 9-0, the 5lb weight relief they enjoy is a fillies' allowance advantage rather than a genuine lbs edge over the colts, and neither commands anything close to the market confidence of the selection.
Each-way alternative: Sea Venture.
Main danger: Sea Venture — Sea Venture (SR 138, 11/2) carries the joint-highest SR alongside Aperoll, is unbeaten in '1', trained by George Scott who excels placing sharp juveniles at the right moment, and at 11/2 represents genuine market confidence that could translate into an upset if the O'Brien runner has any residual inexperience at 7f.
