20/1
Canford Cliffs filly, cost 24,000 gns as a foal and £15,000 as a yearling. Dam was a half-sister to Group 3 winner Ishvana. Trainer not known for his debutante winners and yard have been quiet in recent weeks. Best watched.

Dark Angel filly, cost 70,000 gns as a foal and €85,000 as a yearling. Didn't show a whole lot on debut and while this step up in trip may help a little, the yard form is a little worrying.

9/1
Dark Angel filly, cost 67,000 gns as a yearling and related to several winner with Black Type. Enough speed in her pedigree to suggest she could be effective over this trip but she showed very little on debut.

11/4
Acclamation filly, cost 18,000 gns as a foal and 55,000 gns as a yearling. Yard not known for their juvenile winners and trainer has a low-strike rate around here so she's probably best watched.

7/2
Arcano filly whose dam was related to some speedy sorts and yard's runners have been particularly forward this season. Every chance she could be above average.

5/2
Harbour Watch filly, cost 21,000 gns as a yearling and has run well in defeat on both starts so far including on debut here over 5f. Trainer does very well with his fillies and she may be able to gain compensation after perhaps bumping into above average sorts on first two starts. Shaped like she'd enjoy this step up in trip last time out.

7/1
Excelebration filly, cost €11,000 as a yearling. Didn't show enough on debut to be of interest in this line up but trainer does boast a smart strike-rate around here (14.87%) so any market confidence would make her more interesting.

Forecasts

Take Shelter (5/2), Sultanaa (11/4), Tajaanus (7/2), Di Fede (4/1), Villa Tora (7/1), Queen Penn (9/1), Cherubic (12/1), Flirtare (12/1), Atalanta Queen (20/1), Charming Guest (20/1)

Verdict

TAKE SHELTER has looked a little unlucky to bump into a couple of smart ones on her first two starts and she may be able to gain compensation, with this step up to 6f for the first time likely to suit. Tajaanus is a well-bred sort and she should go well for a yard excelling with their juveniles this season. Mark Johnston has a fine record around here and Villa Tora may take a step forward from her debut effort.
