Timeform run the rule over the field for the Blue Square Nassau Stakes on day five at Goodwood...

Rainbow View is trying the patience of her followers, but she's run better than the result suggests the last twice and is worth one more chance on her first attempt at what could well be her optimum trip. Midday will be a big threat if
in the same heart as on Oaks day, while Katiyra can take some place money back to Ireland.

Barshiba's impaired vision doesn't make her the most straightforward, but she has seemed to relish the step up to twelve furlongs of late, winning at Haydock (Group 2) and Newmarket. She has a drop in trip/stronger field to contend with.

Heaven Sent is a consistent mare who has come up short on four cracks at a Group 1, though had Spacious and Rainbow View behind her when finding only Goldikova too good in the Falmouth Stakes on latest.

Katiyra progressed at 3 yrs, finishing third in Epsom Oaks before winning a ten-furlong Group 2 at the Curragh. She wasn't seen to best effect in a tactical affair on her return, and the trainer's raiders always command respect.

Saphira's Fire is a good-looking filly and was much improved when third in a twelve-furlong Group 2 at Newmarket on her final 2008 start. She should strip fitter for last month's reappearance, but it is doubtful she has the class for this.

Spacious was better than ever when making all at Royal Ascot in June, though she was allowed a soft lead that day (Heaven Sent turned tables next time). She should stay ten furlongs, but her only try to date is inconclusive.

High Heeled's disappointments this year have coincided with fast ground and she has fared well otherwise, finishing third in the Oaks and landing a listed race at York last week. It is probable that twelve furlongs suits her ideally, though.

Midday's battling head second to Sariska in the Oaks makes her the form pick here, and she is easily excused a lesser effort in the Irish equivalent on account of the mud. A shorter trip is the chief imponderable for backers.

Moneycantbuymelove boasts a progressive profile, and impressed when coming from last to land a strong handicap at Royal Ascot. She is already a listed winner at ten furlongs, but will need to raise her game again here.

Nashmiah has twice been successful in listed events at up to eight furlongs this year, but was palpably out of her depth on the two occasions she's been asked to contest Group 1s.

Rainbow View was the outstanding 2-y-o filly of 2008. Things haven't gone to plan this term but she hasn't enjoyed rub of the green the last twice, finishing well each time, and ten furlongs could prove her ideal trip.
