Nice pedigree but changed hands for just 30,000 guineas in December. Likely to appreciate further in time but a market move would be interesting.
Dubawi filly who scored impressively in a hood on her debut over 7f at Chelmsford but raced keenly when turned over at short odds under a penalty at Wolverhampton next time. Tongue-tie introduced now but draw not ideal.
Half-sister to French winners Coiff (1m2f+) and Combe Hay (1m1½f) but underwhelming when unfancied for her debut over 1m at Newcastle first time out. Hard to enthuse over.
62,000 guineas daughter of Nathaniel out a 6f Listed winner. Unfancied for her debut over 1m at Kempton earlier this month and never pulled up any trees in finishing an 8L fifth behind Herecomesthesun.
Epaulette filly out of a 6f winning dam. Yard's newcomers invariably warrant a second look in these AW events and positive market vibes would make her interesting.
Cost 105,000 guineas and shaped encouragingly when a close-up fifth over 6f at Kempton first time out 10 months ago. Didn't build on that when reappearing over 7f here last month but too early to be writing off.
Iffraaj filly out of a Listed-class dam who won over 1m. Plenty to like on paper but jockey booking suggest she isn't the stable's best hope today on her debut.
By Invincible Spirit out of a Listed winner who stayed 1m2f. A half-sister to three winners between 6f and 1m2f and very much one to be interested in first time out from a powerful yard.
Sea The Stars filly out of a dam who won over 6f. A half-sister to the multiple-winning sprinter Almargo amongst others. Presence of a tongue-tie first time out tempers enthusiasm slightly.
Out of a Listed winner in Germany and was quietly-fancied in two starts for Willie Haggas on the AW in January, disappointing on each occasion. Has changed yards since, interesting to see if new trainer can eke out improvement.
Bought relatively cheaply for 8,000 guineas but offered something to build on when a 5¼L third behind Lumi over 1m at Newcastle last month. Open to progress.
Refused to enter the stalls when unfancied for her intended debut over 7f here in January. Hooded when beaten out of sight over C&D next time and looks of minimal account.
Forecasts
Crown Walk (13/8), Playfull Spirit (4/1), Fountain Of Time (7/1), Effervescence (10/1), Flirtare (12/1), Short Head (12/1), Sketching (14/1), Dono Di Dio (14/1), Catch The Tide (16/1), Skirrid Hill (20/1), See The Alex (20/1), Snow Mobile (100/1)
Charlie Appleby's impressive Chelmsford winner CROWN WALK bids to redeem his reputation having suffered the ignominy of a long odds-on reverse at Wolverhampton last month where he raced far too keenly. The introduction of a tongue-tie may help in that respect and, if that is the case, even an outside draw might not stop him in an event where none of the opposition jumps off the page. Sketching - the only four-year-old in the line-up - and John Gosden's Playfull Spirit look the most interesting of the newcomers.
