Daughter of Casamento who received a bump at the start on debut over the extended mile at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, so did well to finish just over 3L fourth of 13 to Hipster Boy. Improvement likely.
Stablemate of Ruffina. Unraced $30,000 yearling, fourth foal by Temple City out of Perfect Rah. Her unraced dam was a half-sister to US 7f Grade 3 winner Tasteyville. Should be ideally suited to racing on synthetics.
Keen early on debut at Kempton last month (1m), and weakened from 3f out to finish 12L seventh of 12 to Cecchini. More needed at this stiffer track, but plenty of stamina in her pedigree (by Camelot).
Far too inexperienced to do herself justice when well down the field in a Nottingham maiden early last month (1m+ soft), and a similar story looks likely tonight. One for the future, rather than the present.
Unraced second foal by Elusive Quality out of the 1m2f-1m6f placed dam Blue Petrel. Her dam also had some speed in her bloodline being a full sister to the US 6½f to 1m winner Fortify. Worthy of note in the betting.
Stablemate of Streets Of Joy. Unraced fourth foal by Kendargent out of Coiffure. Half-sister to French winners Coiff (1m2f+) and Combe Hay (1m1½f). Her dam was an unraced daughter of Yorkshire Oaks winner Quiff. Hooded for racecourse debut.
Unraced eighth foal by Casamento out of Park Approach who fetched €4,800 as a yearling. Half-sister to a couple of winners including 5f to 6f winner Musical Molly (handled Fibresand).
Delegator filly who hasn't shown much on either of her two visits to Newcastle. Can't be expected to be competitive at this level, and surely much better once eligible for nurseries/handicaps.
Unraced fourth foal by Elusive Quality out of Say No Now. Half-sister to 1m2f AW winner Spinning Melody. Her dam was a Listed placed 1m winner, and a half-sister to the 6f winning juvenile Zumbi.
Street Cry filly who progressed quickly from first start to second, and was beaten just 1½L by the potentially useful Espadrille at Kempton early last month (1m). Looks the one to beat on that evidence, and this stiffer test of stamina is a plus.
Stablemate of Catch The Tide. Unraced sixth foal by Champs Elysees out of Nellie Gwyn. Half-sister to several winners in France, including Special Reward, Split Step and Libre Temps.

No shortage of newcomers amongst those in the line up, and this looks like being a race which will throw up plenty of future winners. Caring Touch is a filly to monitor closely in the market as she debuts for Saeed Bin Suroor. Her pedigree boasts that all important mix of speed and stamina, and she could potentially make up into a nice three-year-old over 1m2f to 1m4f. Arahat is another newcomer of note for John Gosden, and with a strong US based pedigree, she looks ideally suited to racing on synthetics. However, it is her more experienced stablemate RUFFINA who looks the clear pick tonight. She improved markedly on her debut effort when losing nothing in defeat to the potentially useful Espadrille at Kempton last month, and she can put her racing experience to good use at a track which will play to her strengths, representing a slightly sterner test of her stamina.
