28/1 33/1 25/1
Beaten nearly ten lengths in Listed company last time after showing a difficult, uncooperative streak at Kempton, Brilliant Star has plenty to prove stepping back up in class; the return to sound surfaces suits, and two wins in her last four starts show she retains ability at the right level.
AI verdict

Rated just 85 with inconsistent form (2-115) and carrying 9-2 weight without market support limits her winning prospects.

Winless in its last five starts, but blinkers for the first time could sharpen a filly whose pedigree suggests 10f yet has performed like a speedier sort over 7f — stamina over this trip remains a question, though a top course jockey and a yard that has taken this race in each of the last three runnings add obvious appeal.
AI verdict

Modest Saturday Rating of 91, poor recent form figures of 436-56, and carrying 9-2 weight without market support justify just 2 stars.

Debut winner at Gowran Park who scored with plenty in hand over 10f, but this is a significant step up in class, the trainer is in form, and first-time headgear adds intrigue — yet quicker ground and the longer trip look uncertain on breeding, and there's plenty to find here.
AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 138 and perfect form, but 9-2 weight and non-favourite market position limit confidence.

Beaten a head in a Listed contest at Goodwood last time out, Earth Shot showed real tenacity to back up a maiden win with that near-miss, and 10f on varying ground holds no fears; the concern is whether 128lb blunts that finishing effort.
AI verdict

Rated just 94 with inconsistent form of 2-12 and carrying 9-2 weight as a non-favourite limits Earth Shot's winning prospects.

Boasts three wins in her last four starts, including a Group 3 victory in France, and is bred to thrive over this longer trip — her best may still be ahead of her. The main risk is that last outing, when she was outpaced and beaten four-and-a-quarter lengths stepping up in class.
AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 102, inconsistent form (1-115), and carrying 9-2 weight without market favouritism limit confidence.

33/1 25/1 28/1
Blinkers applied for the first time after showing greenness under pressure and failing to build on debut form at Newbury last time, Golden Orbit remains unexposed and well regarded — middle-distance breeding and a sound surface tick key boxes, though questions about her response under pressure linger.
AI verdict

Rated just 75 with a weak 1-4 form and carrying 9-2, Golden Orbit lacks the market confidence to threaten in this Group 2.

Landed a Leopardstown maiden by three and a quarter lengths on her most recent start, travelling strongly under an aggressive ride over a longer trip — bred to improve again stepping up further in trip, and our figures (113) underline her strong claims here. First-time headgear is the key unknown.
AI verdict

Rated just 84 with modest 3-31 form and carrying 9-2 weight, Johanna Walsh lacks the market confidence to threaten Group 2 class.

Ranked 10th of 12 on our figures, Lady Roisia faces a stiff ask, but her latest effort — a 4-length third in the Childwickbury Stud Fillies' Trial at Listed level — showed she can handle a step up in class, and the middle-distance bred filly remains open to further progress.
AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 82 and uninspiring form figures of 31-3 suggest she lacks the class for Group 2 level.

Progressive filly whose Oaks second at Epsom — beaten four lengths in a Group 1 on her latest start — sets the standard in this field; stays the trip and handles the going, though connections will be hoping 13 days between runs is enough recovery time.
AI verdict

Solid form (314-12) and a competitive 104 Saturday Rating are offset by unfavoured market position carrying 9-2 weight.

Winless in recent starts and well held when comprehensively outpaced in a Listed contest last time, Maldives is clearly out of her depth in this company again. Acts on today's going and is effective at the trip, but a step back down in grade looks essential before she strikes.
AI verdict

Maldives' poor recent form figures of 26 and a mid-pack 135 Saturday Rating justify only 2 stars.

Venetia arrives just 11 days on from a Listed win at Goodwood in first-time cheekpieces — a short-head verdict that flattered her battling qualities — and she handles today's trip and going, but the step up in class is the key question for this likeable filly.
AI verdict

Venetia's modest Saturday Rating of 78 and mid-field market position undermine her otherwise competitive 23-121 form.

Ran with credit in a Group 3 last time despite pulling against the restraint, and the step back to 10f on good ground suits — but returns after 62 days, dons first-time headgear, and faces a rival it couldn't match last time out.
AI verdict

Rated just 93 with mixed form of 132 and carrying 9-2 weight, Warriors Whisper lacks the profile to compete at Group 2 level.

Legacy Link
Confidence: Medium

Legacy Link (SR 104, 13/8) is the market leader with strong justification: a form string of 314-12 shows consistent competitiveness at a high level, with two of her last three runs resulting in a win or runner-up, and the Gosden yard is typically at its peak for Ascot's summer meeting. The 13/8 price reflects genuine confidence — this is not a drifter but a horse the market has backed in — and SR 104 leads the field among horses with credible, competitive form lines. Good to Firm at Ascot over 1m3f211y suits a progressive filly who has been running over middle distances, and nothing in the field combines market confidence, trainer strength, and form consistency in the same way. The closest rival, Gilded Prize, has a strong 1-115 form string but the 7/2 versus 13/8 gap and slightly lower SR (102) edge the decision toward Legacy Link. Each-way alternative: Gilded Prize. Main danger: Gilded Prize — Gilded Prize (SR 102, 7/2) has a compelling 1-115 form string — two wins in three runs this season — trained by Graffard who excels at placing fillies at the right moment, and at 7/2 the market is hardly dismissing her.
