Verdict

Several of the newcomers take the eye and the market may offer some clues. Spirited Gesture is a sister to three winners including the smart sprinter Calyx, while the 380,000gns purchase Asheyra is the third foal out of a Listed winner. However, HALEEMA boasts plenty of stamina in her pedigree and the Frankel filly gets a speculative vote in open affair with Charlie Appleby's yard remaining in good form.

Top Tip: Haleema (3)
Watch out for: Spirited Gesture (7)

Some potentially smart 2yo fillies face off here with Appleby and the Gosdens introducing fascinting newcomers. We'll side with Godolphin's HALEEMA on account of the fact they've won this four times since 2017 - Appleby has won it three times including with last year's 1,000 Guineas winner Desert Flower in 2024 - and she clearly makes a ton of appeal as a daughter of Frankel. Appleby tends to introduce his better 2yo fillies on the July course. Spirited Gesture is related to some smart types, most notably Coventry winner Calyx, and she has the makings of a very smart filly on profile. The market will likely be revealing. Asheyra is another newcomer from a top yard worthy of respect.
