Has run five times without getting her head in front, but is progressive and her latest run when third over C&D was probably her best. Should go well again, but it will be a surprise if there is not a superior filly lurking in this field.

Nathaniel filly from the family of Hillstar, this year's St Leger runner-up Crystal Ocean and Crystal Capella. Sparkling pedigree, but one which screams stamina so she looks one for middle distances next year for her patient trainer.

Dansili filly out of a Galileo mare so nothing wrong with her breeding. Stable quite capable of getting one ready to win first time so it will be interesting to see if the market speaks in her favour.

Daughter of Dubawi who fetched 800,000 gns a foal and is a sister to 1m winner Pabouche and half-sister to 1m2f winner Neshmeya. Top-class pedigree and very much one to note on debut. Stable also runs Hadith.

Sir Percy filly who was a cheap purchase at 5,500 gns as a yearling. Does not boast the same level of breeding as one or two of her rivals, but is worth a market check nonetheless.

11/4
By New Approach out of a half-sister to French 1m winner Discursus. Sent off at 5-2 when third of eight on debut at Newmarket and should be wiser this time. Jockey bookings suggest she is the stable's main hope.

Well held in starts at Kempton and Chelmsford. Can run in handicaps after this and she will probably be more effective in that sphere.

Camelot filly who cost 38,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to four winners. Good pedigree and worth a market check on debut.

Nicely-bred filly, but only limited promise so far. Steps up in trip which should suit, but she looks one for next year.

So You Think filly who is the first foal of a dam who won over 7f. Beat only one home on debut over C&D and clearly needs to make significant progress.

Has finished in midfield in both starts over 1m at Salisbury. Plenty of stamina in pedigree and looks a middle-distance horse for next year.

Mastercraftsman filly who is a half-sister to Oaks third Lady Of Dubai. Plenty to like on paper, but trainer's horses tend to be brought along steadily so this debut outing will probably be needed.

Had Hadith 4L in arrears when runner-up on her second start at Newmarket. Her rival is entitled to close the gap with the experience under her belt, but this filly sets the standard on what has been achieved so far.

Nathaniel filly whose dam is a sister to 1,000 Guineas second Spacious. Eyecatching pedigree, but trainer not noted for first-time-out winners and she is probaby best watched on debut.

Forecasts

Sheikha Reika (4/6), Hadith (11/4), Naqaawa (16/1), Voluminous (16/1), Espadrille (20/1), Crystal Hope (20/1), Calling Rio (25/1), Saving Grace (33/1), Eden Rose (50/1), Red Miracle (66/1), Pescedora (100/1), Hot Off The Press (100/1), Hidden Dream (100/1), Fen Caroline (100/1), Traumatised (100/1)

Verdict

Some choicely-bred newcomers are headed by Crystal Hope and Espradille. Either may be good enough to win and are worth monitoring in the betting, but SHEIKHA REIKA sets a pretty high standard and is taken to confirm Newmarket placings with Hadith, who can get closer with that experience under her belt.
  1. Sheikha Reika
  2. Hadith
  3. Espadrille
