10/11
A winner on debut she failed to follow up last time but may well have not got over her exertions from her debut on heavy ground when she had to put a fair bit in. Despite having to give weight away all round here she does set a good standard if able to reproduce her debut after a break.

10/1
Started at big prices on all his starts but up to 6f last time out he did make a big step forward showing his first form. Hard to evaluate that for coming out of the blue as it did though and more needed again here.

4/1
Third on his debut run when looking badly in need of the experience at Lingfield over 6f on good to firm. Sure to have some improvement left in him although this softer ground is an unknown.

16/1
Yard are yet to have a two-year-old winner and are 0/4 with their juveniles this year. Closely related to Italian 1m Listed winner Rockatella and a half-brother to 3 winners. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 6f two-year-old Suez, granddaughter of Lancashire Oaks winner/top broodmare Reprocolor. Worth watching in the market with that pedigree.

7/1
Two-year-olds from this yard are always worthy of respect and this one cost €10,000 as a foal. Half sister to a couple of winners she makes plenty of appeal here on her debut.

Sweet Vixen58
Age: 2|  Weight: 8-11| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover
14/1
Quite well fancied on debut when she was a 6/1 shot at Chelmsford in a 5f novice auction stakes. Bred to be sharp she didn't show that much and was never on terms. Switches to turf here but can only be watched after that modest start.

Forecasts

Holy Tiber (10/11), Agadeer (11/4), Silvington (4/1), Princess Jessica (7/1), Archie Perkins (10/1), Sweet Vixen (14/1), Viking Way (16/1), Mendali (50/1)

Verdict

With two newcomers from powerful yards in this it looks an interesting contest and both Agadeer and Princess Jessica can be given a chance on their debuts given how their yards operate. Viking Way comes from a yard that hasn’t had a juvenile winner but he does have a likeable pedigree. Of those that have run HOLY TIBER very much sets the standard and she may have benefitted from a break after her debut win and she should be suited by the ground having won on heavy on debut.
