Pace Angles & Draw:
An even gallop is predicted, which should offer a fair playing field for all styles. There is no draw bias on the July Course at this trip. KARMOLOGY and BOWERCHALKE are likely to be the main pace-setters, with SIOUX LIFE tactically versatile and unlikely to be disadvantaged by any scenario.

Strongest Contenders, Main Dangers & Outsiders:

SILENT LOVE (Promising) – 102p
Appleby’s filly improved sharply to win on her third start at Kempton, showing an efficient energy profile and strong closing sectionals. Well-bred (Whispering Words family), her progression suggests she’s Group class long-term. Slight stamina query at 12f, but pedigree gives her a chance. Still learning and highly likely to improve.

SIOUX LIFE (Proven) – 112
A classy ex-Italian with a Group 3 win to her name. Her UK runs were underwhelming, but they came in stronger company. This Listed level suits better, and she’s tactically adaptable. Has gone well off breaks before, and the Botti yard remains in good form. Big danger if she brings her Italian peak.

KARMOLOGY (Proven) – 105
Consistent, reliable and a dual Listed-placed mare this year. She sets a strong gallop and is often hard to pass if allowed her own way. Her recent second to Candleford rates solid form. Slight concern is the cumulative effect of repeated efforts and being turned over at short odds.

MERIBELLA (Fair/Form Flat) – 105
She’s got a big engine and represents a yard who landed a Group 1 surprise midweek. Travelled well last time but forced wide on the home bend and unable to fully deploy. Has to prove she can land a Listed race but not ruled out if things fall her way. A 50% in-running underperformer, suggesting she may lack finishing power.

JANE TEMPLE (Form Holding) – 103
Solid filly who responded well last time after a York blowout. Third in a similar contest at Newmarket. Doesn’t win out of turn but handles conditions and offers each-way reliability.

BOWERCHALKE (Progressive) – 105
Two from last three and improving on synthetics, including a smooth Southwell win last time. Lightly raced and stamina seems her forte. Not fully exposed and trainer has a good record when stepping into Listed grade after back-to-back wins.

CRYSTAL FLYER (Regressive) – 106
Ran flat in two recent outings after a good start to the campaign. The ground may help, but her overall profile suggests she’s not thriving now.

STAR OF LIGHT (Promising but Temperamental) – 95
Has shown flashes of ability, but temperament is an issue. Hard ride to success at Newbury and cheekpieces retained. Trainer/jockey combo is respected, but vulnerable in a stronger field.

Summary & Professional Punter View:

This Listed fillies’ contest is open but features two distinct profiles: the proven black-type performers like SIOUX LIFE and KARMOLOGY, and progressive three-year-olds like SILENT LOVE and BOWERCHALKE. Tactical speed and stamina will be crucial. The betting could favour the proven, but the value may lie in the unexposed.

Smart Play:
