Derrymore²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden

2/1

Dark Angel filly, cost €280,000 as a yearling. Dam a winner over middle-distances and half-sister to Group performer over 7f. Slightly lucky to win on debut when front two drifted left but more improvement likely.

Form: 1

Herecomesthesun^b³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson| OR: 92

5/1

Placed in Listed company last year before winning at Kempton on return, gaining a second career win. Struggled in Listed class in France on two subsequent runs though and probably will need to improve to win this.

Form: 173-148

Last Enchantment⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77

8/1

A winner on her sixth start at Nottingham at the start of the month. Beaten last time in handicap company though and others already bring a higher level of form to the table while the ones with less experience may improve past her.

Form: 929-213

Magnolia Springs¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 89| BF

11/4

A winner at Newbury over 7f on debut in September but she was a beaten favourite over the same C&D next time in Listed class. Ran well on return at Nottingham and may improve for the new trip.

Form: 16-4

Shaherezada¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 85

4/1

Impressive 5L winner at Newmarket in November. Couldn't land a blow in Listed class last time at Chester but should improve this year and she's an interesting runner if she's not inconvenienced by the fast ground here.

Form: 73231-5

Whispering Sands⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 74

25/1

Unplaced on two AW starts before a distant third at Salisbury last week. Much more needed in this class of race.

Forecasts

Derrymore (2/1), Magnolia Springs (11/4), Mrs. Sippy (7/2), Shaherezada (4/1), Herecomesthesun (5/1), Last Enchantment (8/1), Whispering Sands (25/1)

MRS SIPPY went off a short-priced favourite in what looked like a competitive maiden at Doncaster last time before winning with a bit in hand. There's every chance she will improve for that effort here and she has to be respected given her relations now stepped up in trip. Magnolia Springs is the preferred runner of the Eve Johnson Houghton pair but Shaherezada could be the main danger having looked a smart prospect in 2017.
