Carnival Queen (F)
FAV
Finished sixth of 8 in novice stakes at this track (8.7f) on debut 53 days ago, slowly into stride and showing inexperience throughout. Bred to be smart and seems sure to do better with that experience under belt.

| 9th | 2 | 2 |
Elenaya (F)
Last of 5 on debut at Lingfield over 7f in May. Backed as though thought capable of much better and now goes up markedly in trip.

Cieren Fallon | Dr R Newland & J Insole | 2 | 58.1 kg |

| 7th | 3 | 1 |
Five Moons (F)
75,000Y: first foal, dam unraced half-sister to Coventry Stakes winner Arizona and graded US 1m-9f winner Nay Lady Nay. Yard more than capable of readying a newcomer.

J Mitchell | S & E Crisford | 2 | 58.1 kg |

| 3rd | 4 | 4 |
Koala Rose (F)
Foaled April 13. 36,000 gns foal, €110,000 yearling, Australia filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 9.4f Harrison Point. Dam 1m-1¼m winner. In very good hands and she makes plenty of appeal on paper.

H Crouch | R M Beckett | 2 | 58.1 kg |

| 4th | 5 | 9 |
Kokoluna (F)
Very green when sixth of 11 at Bath (18/1) but showed more when second of 12 in a maiden at Lingfield (33/1) 17 days ago. Could be set to progress further as she gains experience.

Charles Bishop | Eve Johnson Houghton | 2 | 58.1 kg |

12/1
|
| 6th | 6 | 3 |
Morningtoncrescent (F)
90,000F, 120,000Y. First foal: dam 1½m-13.3f winner out of smart 1m winner Belle d'Or, herself half-sister to 2000 Guineas winner Footstepsinthesand. Newcomer for respected yard.

Harry Davies | C Fellowes | 2 | 58.1 kg |

| 2nd | 7 | 5 |
Stellar World (F)
Low-key debut at Kempton (33/1) and showed improvement when 6th of 14 in novice at Southwell (66/1) 24 days ago, outpaced before plugging on. Stepping up in trip will therefore suit.
|
Alistair Rawlinson | H Morrison | 2 | 58.1 kg |

| 8th | 8 | 8 |
Sweet Mabel (F)
Showed little promise when ninth of 11 on debut and fifth of 8 at this track (50/1) 14 days ago. Steps up significantly in trip and likely needs more time.
|
Rowan Scott | D Loughnane | 2 | 58.1 kg |

100/1
|
| 5th | 9 | 7 |
Treasured Moments (F)
Finished seventh of 9 in novice at Southwell (6/1), beaten 11½ lengths, 22 days ago. Significant step up in trip needs to make a dramatic difference.

P Cosgrave | C Johnston | 2 | 58.1 kg |
