Quiet Waters¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 82| D

12/1

Didn't perform on nursery debut at Newmarket after boiling over in the stalls, but looked a smart prospect in winning her first two career starts (both 6f, good to firm); holds an entry in the Lowther Stakes (York); interesting.

No More Regrets¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

14/1

Cost current connections £130,000 in June, but safe to say she's not delivered so far; appears to be effective under most conditions (sole win on very soft), but well beaten by a stablemate (Showout) of today's rival Quiet Waters at Brighton latest.

Porcelain Girl¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: J P Spencer| T: M L W Bell| OR: 77| D

6/1

Slowly away and never competitive in a Class 2 nursery (6f) at Newmarket recently, but was a ready winner under similar conditions to today's at Doncaster prior; more required off a 6lb higher mark but open to further progress.

Sabai Sabai¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 76

9/4

260,000 gns yearling; ran her best race so far when finishing just under 1L fourth of 17 to shock 125/1 winner Feel Glorious at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good); reasonable mark for nursery debut.

Form: 944

Jensue¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 76| D

10/1

Fairly reliable filly, but whilst finishing runner up at Chester (6f) on her last two starts, she was no match for the winner on either occasion; conditions fine on just her second start in nursery company.

Form: 541022

Happy Odyssey²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 73| BF| D

4/1

Beat a subsequent winner when scoring at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in July, and yet to run a bad race in three starts (2,1,2); interesting to see how she acquits herself in nursery company.

Form: 212

Barbara Hepworth⁷³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: G & J Moore| OR: 73| BF

20/1

€115,000 yearling, who hasn't quite been able to progress since her debut fifth of 11 at Ascot in July, so plenty more required here on nursery debut; yet to prove she stays 6f, but is a sister to the 6f-1m winner Parys Mountain.

Form: 535

Red Hut Red²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: W J Haggas| OR: 70

14/1

Ground (soft) and trip (7f) excuses for a poor effort at Newmarket last month, but beaten just ½L on her nursery debut in a small field 6f Pontefract affair prior to that; others probably stronger on balance.

Form: 73520

Kwela^p1⁴⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: M Dwyer| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 69

12/1

Fairly similar efforts on all four starts so far (5f-6f) means that she has plenty to find for the switch to nursery company and the application of first-time cheekpieces; probably needs a longer trip on pedigree ultimately.

Form: 9457

Symphony¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: S Kirk| OR: 68

20/1

40/1, but showed promise on debut at Windsor (5f) in early July shaping as if a step up in trip wouldn't go amiss; okay, but nothing startling in two runs since, and doesn't quite look strong enough on nursery debut.

Form: 454

(12)

Essenza¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

25/1

Plenty of experience after six starts, but remains a maiden and finished third (behind today's rival Jensue at Chester recently); eased a fraction in the weights and with no fears regarding conditions but others are open to more progression.

Forecasts

Sabai Sabai (9/4), Happy Odyssey (4/1), Porcelain Girl (6/1), Jensue (10/1), Capla Rock (10/1), Kwela (12/1), Quiet Waters (12/1), No More Regrets (14/1), Red Hut Red (14/1), Barbara Hepworth (20/1), Symphony (20/1), Essenza (25/1)

Sabai Sabai would be an apt Leicester winner in the colours of King Power Racing Co Limited, and she's certainly one for the shortlist having run her best race so far behind shock Glorious Goodwood winner Feel Glorious. Her opening handicap mark of 76 isn't overly punitive and she should make the frame. The reliable Happy Odyssey has Oishin Murphy in the saddle and she's of obvious interest now switched to nurseries, but the vote goes to the top-weight QUIET WATERS. She looked a smart prospect when winning her first two starts (6f) before boiling over prior to her nursery debut at Newmarket. Assuming that she handles the preliminaries better here, she's tough to oppose.
