Off time: 18:12 | Winning time: 1m 26.62s

(4)

Alma Linda

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott

5/2

Invincible Spirit filly who is a half-sister to Group 3 winner Alla Speranza. This looks a good starting point for her and she's worth considering.

Form:

(2)

Ballet Red^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: H J L Dunlop

50/1

Rio De La Plata filly who cost €9,500 as a yearling. Wears a hood for this debut, which has to be a concern.

Form:

Keska³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey

11/1

Not much went right for her at Newmarket last time out on debut. Up in trip here and should enjoy an easier trip round, but still has improvement to find.

Form: 8

(7)

Look Sharp

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: Dr J D Scargill

50/1

Dandy Man filly related to a couple of winners, but this yard doesn't have the best strike-rate with juveniles. Others appeal more.

Form:

Royal Variety

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: J Tate

4/1

Lope De Vega filly who cost €85,000 as a yearling. Full-sister to John Gosden's Linguistic, who has placed at Listed level. One of the more interesting newcomers here.

Form:

(1)

Spirit Kingdom⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| BF

13/8

Finished third on debut at Brighton last time over this trip, and stable doing particularly well with its juveniles this season. Holds obvious claims on the second start of her career.

Form: 3

(5)

Sweet Jemima

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir

20/1

More Than Ready filly who cost 42,000gns as a yearling. Some juveniles winning form in her pedigree and she can't be discounted from calculations.

Form:

(8)

Ventura Glory¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

8/1

Ran well from a far from ideal draw on debut at Chelmsford on debut, though she was still beaten eight lengths. A normal amount of progression could well see her hit the frame.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Spirit Kingdom (13/8), Alma Linda (5/2), Royal Variety (4/1), Ventura Glory (8/1), Keska (11/1), Sweet Jemima (20/1), Ballet Red (50/1), Look Sharp (50/1)

The obvious one here is SPIRIT KINGDOM. Short in the betting for her debut at Brighton last time out, with any amount of improvement from that level of form she should prove tough to beat with being kept over this 7f trip likely to suit. There are a number of newcomers here, and Royal Variety and Alma Linda are among those of interest.
