Chesham Stakes

Fair form in fillies' contests over 5f on a sound surface at Beverley (made all) and Salisbury (creditable second); faces a stiffer task upped in trip/class and taking on colts for the first time.

Sole runner for Aidan O'Brien who has won this contest five times, including in three of the last five years; brother to smart stablemate Broome, who has major claims in the Hardwicke today, and cost 575,000gns as a yearling; emphatic winner at the Curragh (7f, yielding) on debut, eventually drawing clear having been pushed along 3f out; strong credentials.

Found 5f too sharp at Windsor and looked a different proposition over a stiffer test at Haydock (7f, heavy) where she beat her four rivals; now goes into much deeper waters and much more is required of her.

Scored at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on second start despite doing plenty wrong, having bucked a couple of times in the early stages and wandered under pressure; however, has more on his plate at this level.

Promising debut at Goodwood where he was pushed out to win 6f contest on soft going; bred to be well suited by 7f+; interesting contender, especially if the ground softens.

Lope De Vega colt who cost 260,000euros as a yearling; justified favouritism at Yarmouth (7f, good) on first run, making all to beat Reach For The Moon comfortably; yard won this race in 2019; smart prospect who has to be feared.

50-1, caught the eye with his good finishing effort at Lingfield (6f, AW) where he failed by only a whisker to get up; however, he's towards the bottom of this pack on bare form; tongue-tie fitted.

Sea The Stars colt who stayed on for second just over 1l behind New Science at Yarmouth (7f, good) 22 days ago; open to progress with the experience under his belt and can't be dismissed.

Solid effort at Leicester (6f, good to firm) on debut, finishing second to Dhabab who boosted the form when sixth (unfortunate not to be closer) in the Coventry here on Tuesday; should relish 7f+; in the mix.

Wootton Bassett colt who cost 260,000gns as a yearling; made a winning debut at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) nine days ago, getting up near the finish; should be well suited by this extra yardage; possibilities.
