5/2
Has now had six efforts to get off the mark. Arguably produced her best performance to date when 2nd to a much higher rated opponent over C&D three weeks ago. May prove susceptible to some lighter raced opposition.

100/1
Third foal by Monsieur Bond out of Bond Casino. 100/1 and always struggling on debut over 6f at Newcastle. Considerable improvement needed.

14/1
Unraced gelding by Monsieur Bond. Stable not known for first time out winners on the AW but related to some smart types and should handle conditions on debut.

50/1
Unfancied and last of six on Leicester debut last May. Needs to improve to figure and yard have been particularly quiet recently.

66/1
First foal out of an unplaced dam, by Camacho. Well beaten on both outings to date and likely to do better with time.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-12| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory
9/4
42,000 gns yearling, out of a winner in Spain and related to several other winners. Unfancied when beaten ½L and 1½L by Right Now and Poetic Queen on debut over C&D three weeks ago.

7/2
Half-brother to several winners. Ran green on debut at Windsor last June but performed better when 3rd to Mercers over 5f at Lingfield on reappearance. Should come on for that run.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J L Eyre| OR:  72
6/1
Two placed efforts from four outings when trained by William Haggas last term. Might not need to improve to take this.

Trotter7

18/1
Twice raced gelding who had Poetic Queen and Harlequin Storm in front of him when sixth to Right Now on reappearence here three weeks ago. No reason to think he will overturn the form with that pair.

Forecasts

Harlequin Storm (9/4), Poetic Queen (5/2), Jashma (7/2), Prazeres (6/1), Eddiebet (14/1), Trotter (18/1), Elemento (50/1), Groundskeeperwilly (66/1), Six Of The Best (100/1)

Verdict

Poetic Queen is more experienced than the rest of her rivals and should be able to expose any frailties in those who may need the experience. Prazeres produced a couple of fair efforts, before going downhill, last term and, the change of stable might rejuvenate him sufficiently for a reproduction which would put him in the shake up. However,HARLEQUIN STORM is nominated to show sufficient improvement to reverse her recent placing with Poetic Queen and come out on top. 1. Harlequin Storm 2. Poetic Queen 3. Prazeres
