525,000 guineas yearling but sold for just 60,000 guineas last year despite winning only start in C&D maiden by over four lengths. Odds-on and only third of five on debut for current yard at Catterick last month after 14 month break. May do better.

Big Bad Bob gelding whose only run came for Brian Ellison at Newcastle two years ago when fair fifth in maiden behind Alcazar. Long absence a big concern and makes debut for new connections. May be best watched for now.

$400,000 Speighstown yearling finished fourth on debut at HQ last autumn before scoring easily over C&D in December. Returns from seven month absence but could be decent and is very much respected.

8/1
Daughter of Dutch Art out of listed race winner. Won at third time of asking over C&D earlier this month and appears to be going the right way. Represents top yard and should go close once again.

Stimulation gelding was soon pushed along and beat only one home on debut here last month and looks out of his depth in this company.

165,000 guineas Acclamation filly has hinted at ability in two starts here so far without getting really competitive. Improvement not ruled out but may do better once she goes handicapping.

Equiano filly cost €32,000 as a yearling. Looked green and was slowly away here on debut recently and never got into the action. May need more time and others are preferred.

12/1
Harbour Watch filly out of 5f listed race winner. Ran well on debut here last month, keeping on without being knocked about to finish a promising third. Good chance if building on that effort and won't be far away.

155,000 guineas Shamardal filly out of listed winning dam. Made a good impression when third last month on debut at Haydock, runnng green but showing ability. Yard in form so has to enter calculations.

Well bred Dansili filly out of smart sprinter. Half-sister to Group 3 winner Enticing. Makes racecourse debut for top yard and could be anything, but will need to be on her game to win first time out. Very interesting though.

Good looking Poet's Voice filly who looked as though the outing would bring her on when well held at Newmarket in April. Much more needed but is open to improvement.

Forecasts

Moqarrab (4/7), Shamlahar (4/1), The Chemist (8/1), Flamenco (8/1), Treasure Me (12/1), Poppy Love (12/1), Spiced (14/1), Giant's Treasure (16/1), Harry George (66/1), Boodley (66/1), Liberisque (100/1), Rhosmaen Street (100/1)

Verdict

This looks quite a hot race for the track with plenty of potential candiates for honours. A marginal vote goes to MOQARRAB who did it nicely when winning over C&D in December and has been given time to mature. He may be decent. The William Haggas-trained pair of Flamenco and the unraced Spice are both very interesting and the market may indicate what is expected from them, while Shamlahar, Poppy Love and The Chemist also have claims. Giant's Treasure is also respected but has to concede weight all round.
