Dual Group winner as a juvenile but has come up short in 2 outings this season, latterly finishing 4¼ lengths last of 6 to Lapotheose in Prix Saint-Alary at Longchamp (1¼m, good) 39 days ago. Up in trip with blinkers also added. Aidan O'Brien seeks a fourth successive win in this.

Maldives (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

2,900,000 Camelot filly who made a promising start to her career when length second in 1¼m novice at Yarmouth (good) in April but well beaten in a Newmarket listed event over the same trip 3 weeks later. This is even harder.

Legacy Link

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Highly progressive form, winning Musidora at York on reappearance before excellent 3¾ lengths second of 9 to Thundering On in Oaks at Epsom (1½m, good to soft) 13 days ago, pulling 6 lengths clear of the third. Sets high standard but this comes quick on the back of Epsom.

Lady Roisia

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Won a 1m Nottingham maiden (good to soft) last autumn. Stepped up on that form when 3¾ lengths third of 6 to Esna in listed race at Newbury (1¼m, good) on reappearance. Likely capable of better again.

Golden Orbit

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Sea The Stars filly who saw off a next-time-out winner when making a winning start in 7f Newmarket maiden (good to firm) last September. Went off at 6/4 but could manage only 7½ lengths fourth of 6 to Esna in listed race at Newbury (1¼m, good) on return. Evidently well regarded. Blinkers go on.

Venetia

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Improving front-runner who won a 1¼m course handicap on her reappearance in May and, with cheekpieces on, added a Goodwood listed race (1¼m, soft) 11 days ago, holding on gamely. Likeable but plenty more will be needed here.

Johanna Walsh (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

€460,000 Sea The Stars filly who came good at the third time of asking in maidens at Leopardstown (1¼m, good) 39 days ago, looking well suited by a switch to front-running tactics. Will stay 1½m and looks the type to go on improving for a while yet.

Earth Shot (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Looked an exciting prospect on return when easily landing the odds in 7-runner maiden at Newmarket (1¼m). Confirmed those impressions when head second to Inis Mor (third in Sunday's French Oaks) in listed race at Goodwood (1¼m, good to firm) 26 days ago. More to come, particularly at 1½m.

Brilliant Star

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Wide-margin winner of novices at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) and Kempton (11f) this spring. Only 9 lengths fifth of 8 to Inis Mor in listed race at Goodwood (1¼m, good to firm) 26 days ago but that race placed the emphasis too much on speed for her and she's open to progress with 1½m in mind.

Warriors Whisper (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

€1,000,000 yearling. Made a winning debut on Deauville's all-weather in February and has built on that with placed efforts in listed/Group 3 events around 1¼m at Saint-Cloud since, latterly finishing 3½ lengths second of 6 to Gilded Prize. Up in trip.

Gilded Prize

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Won first 3 starts, including 10.5f Saint-Cloud Group 3 (good) in April by 3½ lengths from Warriors Whisper. Lost her unbeaten record in rather tame fashion when only fifth in the Group 2 Prix Saint-Alary at Longchamp (1¼m, good) 39 days ago. Steps up in trip as she bids to resume her progression.

Timeform Verdict

EARTH SHOT's Goodwood listed form received a boost when the winner ran a cracker in Group 1 company in France over the weekend and Wathnan Racing's new purchase might be worth siding with to get the better of Legacy Link, who sets the bar high on her Oaks second but this comes only 13 days after that big effort. Johanna Walsh promises to be suited by 1½m and may prove best of the remainder.

Betting Forecast

40/1 Dark Lucinda (Ire), 22/1 Composing (Ire), 100/1 Maldives (Ire), 13/8 Legacy Link, 33/1 Lady Roisia, 40/1 Golden Orbit, 50/1 Venetia, 12/1 Johanna Walsh (Ire), 13/2 Earth Shot (Ire), 33/1 Brilliant Star, 25/1 Warriors Whisper (Ire), 10/3 Gilded Prize
