Angel's Whisper²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: J Noseda| BF

7/1

Fared by far the best of the newcomers when taking the runner-up slot on her debut over 6f at Windsor in a race which has not worked out that well. Failed to handle the ground last time and bred to do better on this surface.

Form: 28

Denham

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: M Appleby

50/1

By little known sire Denounce (lightly raced maiden who has sired the yard's useful sprinter Danzeno). Half-sister to Guishan who has won 12 races in these colours. Trainer knows the family well but will also know she needs more time.

Havana Heart³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 69

10/1

Placed in a minor event at Lingfied under this rider but looked one paced at Brighton two weeks later. Champion elect is back on board for her AW debut but she may do better over an extra furlong.

Form: 925

Image²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: P J McBride

25/1

Work to do based on her two runs to date but she qualifies for a handicap mark after this and she has the speed to land a nursery.

Form: 76

Musical Theatre^h1³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Simcock

14/1

Attracted a fair amount of support for her debut when just behind Havana Heart. Plenty of speed in the pedigree but worrying to see trainer opt for a hood (1-15 when applying this headgear for the first time).

Form: 6

Pretty Baby³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: W J Haggas| BF

1/5

Orpen filly, cost €190,000 as a Breeze-Up purchase. Reluctant to load into the stalls ahead of York debut but showed a much better attitude in the race. Will come on for the extra furlong and trainer/jockey combination are 5-7 here.

Form: 2

Rock On Baileys^h1¹⁰³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Adam Beschizza| T: C A Dwyer

66/1

Improved last time but still only beat two rivals home and considerably more needed. Hood is applied for the first time.

Form: 04

Forecasts

Pretty Baby (1/5), Angel's Whisper (7/1), Havana Heart (10/1), Musical Theatre (14/1), Bubble And Squeak (16/1), Image (25/1), Denham (50/1), Rock On Baileys (66/1)

PRETTY BABY was considered good enough to hold a Cheveley Park entry and reappears in modest company as she tries to fulfil the promise of her York debut. She looks set to go off at short odds given the lack of opposition with a level of form to match that York run. Angel's Whisper failed to handle soft ground last time but the form of her debut effort does not look as good now and the yard have drawn a blank over the past four weeks. Havana Heart and Image look the pick of the remainder.
