Pearl Of Qatar¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| D

9/1

Sprang a 25-1 surprise when swooping late to score by 1L on debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in May but ran better than bare result at York having got stuck deep on the track. Likely to improve.

Form: 15

Be Like Me³⁷

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

5/1

Helmet filly that cost €28,000 as a yearling and placed in both starts to date. Ran second giving weight in a good time last start and should be competitive.

Form: 32

Jewel of The Sea²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: R M H Cowell

40/1

Daughter of Born To Sea who cost 25,000 gns as a yearling. Well held in both starts to date and more required to be competitive.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 79

3/1

Lope De Vega filly, cost £50,000 as a yearling and placed twice from five starts. Just faded late in career best when seventh in Weatherbys Super Sprint, showing excellent pace and that sets the standard.

Form: 26247

Mrs Discombe

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

66/1

Daughter of Garswood who has plenty of speed in pedigree. Price rose to 48,000 gns as a yearling and worth a precautionary check in the betting.

Poetry²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M L W Bell

2/1

Kingman filly who was narrowly touched off on debut before not quite seeing out the 6f on her second start in an above average Newmarket maiden. This is her trip for now and looks a leading contender.

Form: 25

(8)

Reticent Angel

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Hitchcott| T: C G Cox

12/1

Daughter of Dark Angel out of an Oasis Dream mare. Plenty of speed in pedigree and respected for leading yard. Market should prove best guide.

Sylvia's Mother³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: J Tuite

100/1

Foxwedge filly who cost 20,000gns as a yearling and showed pace on debut when showing promise. However tailed off on her second start and questions to answer for now.

Form: 60

Vena d'Amore¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Winston| T: D K Ivory| OR: 71

16/1

Exceed and Excel filly, cost 50,000 gns as a yearling. Best form by far came when a narrow second on a soft surface two starts back. Finished last in Weatherbys Super Sprint but not without hope that an easier surface could see her bounce back.

Form: 9020

(5)

War Tigress⁴⁴

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

22/1

Daughter of Slade Power out of the 7f/1m winner Blue Angel. Cost €80,000 as a yearling and was reasonably fancied on debut when green. Could easily leave that form behind for stable that won this last year.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Poetry (2/1), Kadiz (3/1), Be Like Me (5/1), Pearl Of Qatar (9/1), Orange Blossom (10/1), Reticent Angel (12/1), Vena d'Amore (16/1), War Tigress (22/1), Jewel of The Sea (40/1), Mrs Discombe (66/1), Sylvia's Mother (100/1)

A tricky race to kick off the card where plenty hold chances. Kadiz will likely be popular following her fine run at Newbury and that arguably makes her the filly to beat. However POETRY has only had the two starts so far and she may be open to a bit more progress particularly back at the minimum trip. Be Like Me likewise has shown plenty of ability in both starts to date and rates a danger. The market should be noted with a number of the rivals while of those Orange Blossom must have been showing plenty at home to be given such a tough debut and should be noted.
