Apple Anni

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J F Egan| T: M R Channon

14/1

Daughter of Fast Company who cost €20,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to six winners on the Flat and over hurdles. Stable can ready one on debut, so any market support would be significant.

(13)

Gainsay³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman

66/1

Little encouragement in starts at Windsor and Newbury. Qualifies for a handicap mark after this and nurseries look the way to go.

Form: 08

(12)

Golden Deal^h³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R T Phillips

25/1

Daughter of Havana Gold bought for 21,000 gns at the sales in May. A half-sister to a couple of winners, she wore a hood on debut at Windsor where she finished in mid-division. Headgear is retained and she needs to step up.

Form: 6

(3)

Lady Of Aran

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes

16/1

Sir Prancealot filly who fetched €24,000 as a yearling and is half-sister to three winners. Appealing enough on paper, so it will be interesting if the market speaks for her on debut.

Vera Drake²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

5/1

€25,000 daughter of Footstepsinthesand and related to a couple of useful middle-distance horses in France and Australia. Slowly away when fourth of nine at Thirsk on debut and can be expected to improve for her in-form stable.

Form: 4

(9)

Chanson de La Mer

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Georgia Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: D Menuisier

12/1

Filly by a French Derby winner who cost only 1,500 gns as a yearling and is half-sister to a 7f winner. Cheap puchase price is a bit offputting, but she would not be the first bargain buy and is worth checking for any market support on debut.

Form:

(1)

Claudine¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Harry Bentley| T: H Candy

16/1

Zoffany filly purchased for £7,000 as a yearling last October and whose dam was successful on the Flat and over hurdles. Showed little on debut at Salisbury and may need more time.

Form: 6

(8)

Courteous Crown²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon

25/1

Not much market support when down the field in starts at Bath and Salisbury. In good hands, though, and may do better when handicapping.

Form: 77

(7)

Golden Image²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

5/2

Another daughter of Havana Gold, who is having a fine first season as a sire. She cost £1,500 as a two-year-old, but already looks a shrewd buy after finishing a promising third on debut at Salisbury. Should improve and looks a major contender.

Form: 3

(5)

Isabella Mayson³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: M Dwyer| T: W S Kittow

9/2

Promise in mid-division on debut at Newbury and better when second of 14 at Leicester last time. Steps up 1f in trip and has to be of interest.

Form: 62

(11)

Mayhem Maybe

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: J Quinn| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

33/1

Daughter of leading sprinter Art Connoisseur who cost €3,400 as a yearling and is a half-sister to a winner in Italy. Likely to benefit from the outing on debut.

Form:

(4)

Ruby's Gem¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: S De Sousa| T: P J McBride| OR: 71

9/2

All three runs at Newmarket and the second of them, when fourth, was the most promising. Has a future in nurseries, but may find one of two of these rivals too strong.

Form: 745

(10)

Tesorina

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Kieren Fox| T: W J Knight

33/1

By high-class two-year-old Lilbourne Lad, she cost 6,500 gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to a winner over 1m2f. Stable has only occasional juvenile winners, but worth a market check all the same.

Form:

Forecasts

Golden Image (5/2), Isabella Mayson (9/2), Ruby's Gem (9/2), Vera Drake (5/1), Chanson de La Mer (12/1), Apple Anni (14/1), Claudine (16/1), Lady Of Aran (16/1), Courteous Crown (25/1), Golden Deal (25/1), Tesorina (33/1), Mayhem Maybe (33/1), Gainsay (66/1)

One or two of the debutants make some appeal on paper, most notably Apple Anni and Lady Of Aran. However, it may pay to side with those with experience and top of the list is GOLDEN IMAGE, who shaped with real promise on her debut and looks the type to improve. Vera Drake, Isabella Mayson and Ruby's Gem are others who enter calculations.
