FALAKEYAH justified favouritism on debut in impressive style at Wolverhampton in November, shaping as if she would relish this extra distance. Owen Burrows' filly is likely to have lots more to offer and it would be no surprise to see her take this step up in her stride. Anna Swan failed to maintain her unbeaten record when well beaten in the Fillies' Mile here, but this should be a bit easier and she has to be considered. Janey Mackers completes the shortlist.

Most of the runners bring potential. SAND GAZELLE has particularly good credentials and she's first choice ahead of Falakeyah.

Cinderella's Dream was surprisingly beaten by Choisya in the Group 2 Balanchine at Meydan, but that form was franked in no uncertain terms when her conqueror went on to score at the top level at Keeneland. Even so, RUNNING LION still looks the way to go. The Gosdens' five-year-old signed off her 2024 campaign with a brilliant effort to fill the runner-up spot in the Prix de l'Opera and she boasts course form as she took the Pretty Polly here in 2023. Last year's 1000 Guineas heroine Elmalka is the pick of the remaining trio.

There isn't much between the main contenders on ratings. The percentage call goes to ELMALKA, ahead of Cinderella's Dream.

Kihavah took the Queen's Cup on his return to the Flat and is likely to have his supporters under a 4lb penalty. Liam Swagger is also considered after his third at Chelmsford but the vote goes to ALIGN THE STARS, who ran too badly to be true when finishing stone last behind Kihavah at Musselburgh. Charlie Johnston's four-year-old was victorious in hot handicaps last season and may still have room for manoeuvre off his current mark. Artistic Star is another to keep an eye on.

Liam Swagger holds leading claims but an interesting alternative is ARTISTIC STAR, who runs off an attractive mark back on turf.

DESERT FLOWER will likely start a warm order and deservedly so. The daughter of Night Of Thunder displayed top-class form last year, culminating with a convincing victory in the Fillies' Mile over C&D, and an impressive racecourse gallop at the track recently further boosts confidence. Lake Victoria is another filly out of the top drawer, having recorded a hat-trick of wins at the highest level as a two-year-old, including the Cheveley Park here. The Ballydoyle inmate beat Red Letter at the Curragh before that, although the latter would have finished closer than fourth with a clear run. Duty First landed the Fred Darling at Newbury in fine style and can confirm superiority over runner-up Hey Boo.

Desert Flower and Lake Victoria set the standard, while RED LETTER (nap) and Chantilly Lace are interesting challengers.

TWILIGHT STAR looks the safest proposition rather than guess at the ability of the newcomers. The Godolphin filly finished a respectable third here on last month's debut, having shown plenty of early pace, and a bold bid is anticipated with that initial experience under her belt. Little Havana is a speedily-bred daughter of Havana Grey and any strong support for George Boughey's charge could prove significant. Moira Express is preferred to Spicy Marg of the remaining pair.

Moira Express may be best of the newcomers but TWILIGHT STAR could take a good step forward from her debut third.

Having offered plenty of encouragement on his debut second over C&D last month, MOONFALL sets a good standard for the others to aim at. George Boughey's colt is entitled to build on that performance and a breakthrough victory could be imminent. Rising Power, a 600,000-euro half-brother to smart sprinter Roulston Scar, warrants consideration and market support for the son of Wootton Bassett would be interesting. French Affair is the pick of the other newcomers.

Rising Power is a newcomer of serious interest but MOONFALL looked a winner-in-waiting when second over C&D at the Craven meeting.

Merchant improved with each run as a juvenile, which saw him end his campaign with a triumph at Wolverhampton. An opening mark of 82 looks workable on his return to action and he is a potential improver stepping up in trip, but HALLELUJAH U is slightly more appealing. The Pinatubo colt is entitled to strip sharper for his third-placed reappearance over C&D last month and that fitness could prove crucial. Lightening Mann is also noted.

Watching Stars and MERCHANT have untapped potential at this trip and the Haggas-trained 3yo is taken to follow up his AW win.
