Astrofire71
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: M H Tompkins
100/1
Has beaten only one rival in two starts in novice/maiden company. Stable tends to bring its juveniles along slowly and this one looks the type for handicaps further down the line.

6/1
Clueless on debut but clearly learned plenty when much improved to finish runner-up at Kempton. Failed to build on that over 1m at this track last time and may be better reverted to 7f.

Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: K R Burke| BF
6/1
Made a pleasing debut when second of 13 on debut at Newcastle, but failed to back that up when a beaten favourite and only seventh of 11 at Wolverhampton, both races over 6f. Up in trip and qualifies for handicaps after this.

7/2
Dubawi filly who is a sister to French 7f winner Pirate's Cove and half-sister to seven other winners, two of them in Group company. Taking pedigree and has to be taken seriously on debut with hood fitted.

Dance Me20
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: Mitch Godwin(3)| T: S Kirk| OR:  72
11/10
Has shown plenty of promise on all three starts in novice company, including over C&D. One of the more likely types, but has outside stall to cope with.

Flora Tristan
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti
12/1
Daughter of Zoffany who cost £36,000 as a yearling and is a half-sister to a winner in Sweden. Stable can ready one for its debut and this filly is worth checking out in the market.

Miss Milla B
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: E F Vaughan
25/1
Sepoy filly out of a New Approach mare from the family of high-class Calming Influence. LIkely to need this debut outing, but worth checking for market support.

Forecasts

Dance Me (11/10), Crown Walk (7/2), Briscola (6/1), Cirrus Minor (6/1), Flora Tristan (12/1), Heavens Align (12/1), Miss Milla B (25/1), Astrofire (100/1)

Verdict

Briscola and Dance Me set the standard, but both look vulnerable to a newcomer with talent and the one which could well fit the bill is CROWN WALK<, who boasts a nice pedigree and represents powerful connections. Cirrus Minor ran well on debut and although well held last time may be able to bounce back.
