11/2
By Dark Angel out of the 7f maiden Muzdaan. Cost €115,000 as a yearling and is a sister to the 6f winners Parys Mountain and Northern Angel. Weak in the market on debut when shaping as though ready for this extra furlong.

By Kodiac out of the Listed placed 1m2f-1m4f winner Funday. Cost 50,000 gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to the 1m4f AW winner Miss Giler. Extra furlong helps but she may need even further.

14/1
Sixties Icon filly out of a moderate winning miler. Dam has produced a middle-distance winner so this may be on the sharp side.

20/1
£34,000 daughter of Zebedee and half-sister to a winning miler on Fibresand. Yard's juveniles starting to show their potential and another to note in the ring.

20/1
Iffraaj filly out a mare who was a speedy juvenile and placed at Listed level. Stable had a juvenile winner on Thursday but they generally improve for a run.

70,000 gns daughter of Exceed And Excel, closely related to the top-class French filly Epic Love and three other winners. Yard 3-10 with this age group in 2018.

Zalpa
Age: 2|  Weight: 9-0| J: B Doyle| T: C Appleby
10/11
500,000 gns breeze-up filly byMore Than Ready and half-sister to a couple of winners including Canadian Grade 3 winner Second City. Stable off to a slower start with this age group than last year, but saddled an impressive debutante on Wednesday.

Forecasts

Zalpa (10/11), Natalie's Joy (4/1), Barbara Hepworth (11/2), Swift And Sure (12/1), Patchouli (14/1), Kwela (16/1), Soul Searching (20/1), Pimlico Pleaser (20/1), Valley Belle (50/1)

Verdict

This looks likely to go to one of the newcomers with ZALPA and Natalie's Joy representing top yards whose juveniles are normally well prepared. Both have speedy pedigrees and the market should tell us more. The former fetched 500,000 gns and is just preferred. Soul Searching and Swift And Sure are also bred to be quick, whilst the Hannon yard's youngsters always need watching here and Pimlico Pleaser cannot be dismissed.
