Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: J C Fox

66/1

Merarani³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Karen George

Mersey²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

11/4

Kodiac filly, finished second on debut over 5f at Salisbury last month on heavy going. Should improve for that run and sets the standard of those to have run.

My Maharani

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Fresu| T: M Botti

33/1

Rip Van Winkle filly cost 26,000 gns as a yearling, bred to be suited by this sort of trip. Yard have been a bit quiet lately and juveniles slow to come to hand (0-2 thus far in 2018).

Form:

On Route

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Mark Prescott

7/1

A 40,000 gns foal the Pivotal filly should find this trip to her liking starting out for Sir Mark Prescott as he saddle first two-year-old of the campaign.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: J J Bridger

150/1

Finjaan filly who cost only £800 as a yearling and whose dam won over 6f as a juvenile, sent off 50/1 on debut at Brighton and beat only one rival home, plenty more required.

Form: 7

Scenic Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater

100/1

Frozen Power filly is closely related to two-year-old 6f winner Flashy Diva, has plenty speed on pedigree. Market should guide on debut.

Atwaar

Forecasts

La Pelosa (1/1), Mersey (11/4), Chaleur (9/2), Atwaar (6/1), On Route (7/1), Lolita Pulido (25/1), My Maharani (33/1), Lady Mazie (66/1), Scenic Lady (100/1), Merarani (100/1), Pinctada (150/1)

La Pelosa is an appealing newcomer on paper and any strong market support for her would need noting but MERSEY made a decent fist of things when second on debut at Salisbury, despite being in need of the experience. With normal improvement she ought to prove hard to beat. The betting will be crucial with Atwaar and Chaleur amongst the likely sorts making their first appearances.
