"Saturn Gir was a pricey 210,000 guineas filly who confirmed debut promise when readily scoring in a mile maiden at Windsor in June. She is capable of better still on this handicap debut, with her pedigree suggesting this longer trip will suit. "

Seven start this one, Timeform assess their respective chances.

A straight match in prospect between Saturn Girl and Assabiyya, both looking to be useful prospects. The former is just preferred, her ready enough maiden win achieved despite failing to run in a straight line. Full Of Nature may well be the next home, albeit at a respectable distance.

Assabiyya maintained Godolphin's rich vein of form when easily winning on her recent belated debut in a ten furlong maiden. The stable does particularly well with late-maturing types and there should be more to come on this handicap debut.

Fanditha is a physically impressive filly who has made the frame on three of her five one mile starts this year. She is exposed, however, with blinkers and a longer trip being tried to find a way forward. The stable also runs Ballyalla.

Saturn Girl was a pricey 210,000 guineas filly who confirmed debut promise when readily scoring in a mile maiden at Windsor in June. She is capable of better still on this handicap debut, with her pedigree suggesting this longer trip will suit.

It's Dubai Dolly is a front runner who won a mile-and-a-half maiden at Kempton in April. She was outclassed at Royal Ascot prior to winning a ten-furlong handicap at Newbury. She went off too hard last time, and in any case looks weighted to the hilt.

Ballyalla won a six furlong Newbury maiden last summer, but has had patchy form in handicaps/listed company this term. Others are more persuasive at a trip over which she's far from certain to be effective. The yard also run Fanditha.

Hallingdal is a capable filly when on song and likes to come late off a strong pace. She produced creditable efforts when in the frame on her last two starts and is proving to be competitive off this mark up to nine furlongs (extra 149y here).

Full Of Nature's form tailed off at 2 yrs after a debut win. She has been in-and-out this term, her latest all-weather fourth a good effort. She is equally effective on turf and has potential for some more minor money if in the same mood.
