Boreagh Lass⁴⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Harry Bentley| T: H Candy

5/1

Fast Company filly, cost €6,500 as a yearling and dam a half-sister to 7f Listed winner Alazeyab. Improved from debut to win at Windsor next time out but may need to improve again and connections have voiced concerns over racing her on fast ground.

Form: 71

Chillala^h³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S Donohoe| T: H J L Dunlop

50/1

Requinto filly, cost 125,000 gns as a yearling. Sister to Group-placed Broken Stones and dam a half-sister to two Listed winners. Well beaten on both her starts to date but step up in trip may help and bred to be better than she has shown so far.

Form: 57

Lamya²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

7/2

Choisir filly, cost €30,000 as a yearling and 260,000 gns as a two-year-old. Improved from her debut to win at Windsor last time out under a smart ride from this jockey. Hard to equate what that form is worth but should improve again.

Form: 61

Magnolia Springs

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

25/1

Shamardal filly, cost €105,000 as a yearling. Half-sister to several winners and dam closely related to a Group 1 winner. Bred for a bit further than this and entitled to need the run on debut.

Melodies¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: E A L Dunlop

9/2

Iffraaj filly, dam won over this trip as a juvenile and was a half-sister to Group 1 winner Mount Nelson and Group 2 winner Monitor. Shaped nicely on debut over this trip when seemingly unfancied and should come on for that run.

Form: 4

(1)

Naqaawa⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows

10/3

Shamardal filly, related to several winners including Listed winner Shaqira and dam won Cheshire Oaks. Should come on for her debut at Goodwood when still a little green but still performed well and not dismissed having been given time to recover.

Form: 6

(8)

Veracious

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute

3/1

Frankel filly, half-sister to four winners including Group 2 winner Mutakayyef and Listed winner Intimation. Dam a Group 3 winner over this trip as a juvenile. Yard newcomers worthy of respect and gets the services of top jockey for debut.

Forecasts

Veracious (3/1), Naqaawa (10/3), Lamya (7/2), Hadith (7/2), Melodies (9/2), Boreagh Lass (5/1), Magnolia Springs (25/1), Miss Mumtaz (33/1), Chillala (50/1)

Melodies shaped nicely on debut and the booking of Silvestre De Sousa for her second start here could be significant. However, preference is for LAMYA who won well at Windsor last time out and with more improvement likely, she could be hard to beat. Any market support for Veracious and Naqaawa could be significant on their first and second starts respectively for powerful connections.
