Took a while to get the hang of things on debut over 7f at Wolverhampton last month, every chance she'll be more in tune with the game for this step up in trip.

Improved on debut showing to be second at Wolverhampton last month at this sort of trip, beaten under 2L. Should go close on that evidence, with potential for better again.
Harbour Watch filly cost €130,000 as a yearling and is well related to numerous winners. Makes first start here and is one to note.

Made a really pleasing start at Lingfield in February to be close second over this trip but has been turned over at odds-on since at Wolverhampton. In the balance for now but bounce back is entirely possible.

An inexpensive daughter of Harbour Watch, she comes to the track for the first time here and unless the market speaks differently, is best watched.

Well and truly beaten off in a 7f Newmarket maiden on debut in October and been off since, needs to have strengthened significantly over the winter to get involved on return.

Not beaten far on second outing in a maiden over 7f here in November, a race won by last week's Nell Gwyn heroine Daban. Entitled to major say on reappearance.

Didn't achieve much in pair of maidens at Salisbury last year, could come forward on that form now but has a big gap to plug with some of these and best watched.

A filly out of Elusive Pimpernel, she's going to need to be well above average to figure in what has the potential to be a hot maiden.

A $425,000 yearling out of War Front, she's related to Graded winners in the US and merits plenty respect for this racecourse bow. She will need a strong performance to score on debut however.

9/4
Got within a half-length of Daban on debut here in November over 7f, that rival stylishly added a Group 3 at Newmarket last week, boosting the form significantly. Should be more to come.
Dubawi filly is a sister to the high class Time Test and merits plenty respect on debut here, one of the more likely newcomers in what appears to be a strong contest on paper.

Didn't shape greatly on debut at this venue in September in a 7f maiden, needs to come forward a fair leap on first start since to get involved.

Forecasts

Time Chaser (7/4), Thafeera (9/4), Meshaykh (7/2), First Moon (11/1), Meccabah (16/1), Tremendous (20/1), Angel Of Rome (20/1), Sileel (25/1), Beach Party (25/1), Al Jawza (40/1), Cape To Cuba (50/1), Harbouring (66/1), Morello (100/1), Shamonix (100/1)

Verdict

Daban's impressive win in the Nell Gwyn last week has given this contest a difference perspective, given that both Thafeera and MESHAYKH were close in behind in her maiden win over 7f in November around here. The former was closest and deserves huge respect but, at the likely prices, the Stoute filly may be the value call give both are open to plenty improvement in this. They look the pair to focus on while newcomers Time Chaser and Sileel are also worth monitoring along with Wolverhampton runner-up Angel Of Rome.
  1. Meshaykh
  2. Thafeera
  3. Angel Of Rome
