Obviously late coming to hand and makes only limited appeal on breeding. Others hold stronger claims.

Slowly away and ran green on debut. Much more required to figure - especially from a wide draw.
Bred to appreciate further than this and stable not really noted for first-time out winners. Hard to fancy.

Claims on his effort to finish third at Windsor in April but two subsequent races have yielded little. Likely that others will be a little sharper at this stage.

His dam acted on Fibresand, so feasible this type of surface won't be too much of an issue. Showed signs of immaturity on debut though and had little to offer near the finish. Likely to be wiser this time but improvement needed.

Bred to be effective over further but has made little impact in two maidens over 10f, so worth a try over this distance. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this and may do better in that sphere.

Half-brother to a 1m4f winner that shaped with a glimpse of promise near the finish on debut at Lingfield. Needs to be more alert from the stalls but the drop in trip may be ideal.

Cost ÂŁ13,000 and is out of a 1m4f winner; missed the break and was never a factor on debut. Hard to fancy on the evidence available.

Signs of ability during a seven-race juvenile campaign. Unexposed on the AW, however, and has been gelded since last seen out. Interesting if supported in the betting.

Very cheap purchase but is a half-sister to several winners. Has shown a liking for making the running but may just need a bit more experience. A step up in trip may also be beneficial.

Horse silk
7/1
Cost ÂŁ14,000 as a yearling and is related to a handful of winners over a variety of distances. Yard very much respected but the suspicion that he'll want further than this 7f is a nagging doubt.

From a yard which excels with its sprinters so very feasible this daughter of Monsieur Bond will improve from her debut run. She does need to be a lot wiser to the starting procedure, though, as the race had already slipped away from her when she eventually got going in earnest at Newbury. That was a better race than this, however, so no forlorn hope.

The form of her latest start was boosted by the runner up, who won a Newmarket maiden last week. Likely to be a tough customer to deal with if she has improved and the one to beat in this company judging by the form in the book.

Forecasts

Margherita (6/5), Wigan Warrior (5/1), Madeleine Bond (13/2), Chatting (7/1), My Illusionist (12/1), Yogiyogiyogi (12/1), Beach Dancer (16/1), Accomplice (20/1), Allofmelovesallofu (33/1), True Gentleman (33/1), Fivos (66/1), Columbian Cartel (100/1), Geordielad (150/1), Our Ruth (150/1)

Verdict

Most of these are bred to be more effective once they step up in trip - the selection, MARGHERITA, included. However, the form of her debut run at Lingfield is the strongest piece of evidence available at this stage. And, given that her yard is flying just now, a bold bid is expected. Yogiyogiyogiwhilst has been handed a nightmare draw but may be a bit more wily than a few of the rest, so is no forlorn hope, whilst support for Wigan Warrior would also have solid foundations. Of the rest: Madeleine Bond appeals as one that will be a lot wiser now that she has the benefit of experience on her side, whereas Chatting represents a yard on the up and may be the best of the debutantes.
