Unraced for Richard Hannon before moving onto current trainer in August 2016. Sire (Iffraaj) a consistent performer at Group 2 level (Lennox Stakes winner), and also runner up to Les Arcs in the 2006 Group 1 July Cup. Bred to be suited by this trip.

Katie's Surprise⁵⁷

Life Happens⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: J G Portman

Nurse Nightingale²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: H Palmer

7/1

From a high profile stable that has recorded 33 juvenile winners during 2016 (a 19% strike rate), but is 0 from 16 with juveniles at this track this year. A wide draw to overcome but by Nathaniel, and with stamina on her Dam's side (Whazzat) can go well.

Form: 3-3

(2)

Precious Ramotswe

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

8/15

Out of Miss Pinkerton (and by Nathaniel) is bred to be suited by this trip. Decent draw in stall two and likely to go close for stable in good form of late.

Form: 1-

Scarlet Thrush⁶⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: M Botti

10/1

Runner up on debut at Leicester in October to Subatomic, and unable to build upon this promise when fifth of 14 at Doncaster a few weeks later. Absent since, and tries the Polytrack for the first time.

Form: 255-

Titi Makfi²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

6/1

Official Rating of 70, and the most experienced runner in the field after four career starts (all over seven furlongs). Beaten five lengths into second by Leshlaa on sole Kempton start, and vulnerable to the newcomers here.

Form: 7

Tomorrow Mystery²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: J A Osborne

33/1

Bay filly out of Retake (by Nathaniel) from a stable to be respected, as demonstrated with Quebec Stakes winner Battalion. Likely to find one or two too good on her racecourse debut

Form: 6-52

Forecasts

Precious Ramotswe (8/15), Night Poetry (3/1), Titi Makfi (6/1), Nurse Nightingale (7/1), Flight Of Fantasy (10/1), Scarlet Thrush (10/1), Awaayil (16/1), Tomorrow Mystery (33/1), Everdina (33/1), Life Happens (50/1), Katie's Surprise (66/1)

A race that is likely to revolve around the newcomers, with those that have raced showing only a moderate level of ability. Given that her connections often introduce talented newcomers at this track at around this time of year, Night Poetry gets the vote to make a winning debut for Charlie Appleby. Both Precious Ramotswe and Nurse Nightingale are the most likely dangers. 1. Night Poetry 2. Precious Ramotswe 3. Nurse Nightingale
