Aldana

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: S & E Crisford

3/1

Slade Power filly out of a dual 7f winner. Price rose markedly to 100,000 gns at the breeze-ups, which is encouraging, although first-season sire not as prolific as might have been expected. Market useful.

Conga

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

11/4

Footstepsinthesand half-sister to 5f-1m winner Dance Alone out of a winning half-sister to high-class sprinter/miler Gift Horse. Yard in fine form with 2-y-o runners in recent weeks, so worth noting if strong in betting.

Holy Macaroni¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Burns⁽⁷⁾| T: J Hughes

50/1

Finished 20L behind the winner when sixth of seven at Ffos Las on debut last month, and unlikely to play a big part here.

Form: 6

Sarasota Bay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: J & S Quinn

3/1

Dam ran just once, but has produced top sprinter Tasleet, so this daughter of Coach House ticks the right boxes on pedigree, and comes from yard housing smart juvenile filly Signora Cabello.

Sylviacliffs

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke

12/1

Cheap purchase by George Vancouver out of an unraced mare; half-sister to a juvenile AW winner, but surprise if she had a major say on racecourse debut.

Tweed Valley

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

7/2

Dam is well related but never won a race, and neither have three previous foals to race, so this daughter of Mayson is probably best watched on debut.

Form:

Unwanted Beauty

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: I Mohammed & J Santos

16/1

Iffraaj half-sister to 7f-1m winner Poet's Beauty and 6f-1m3f winner Exceeding Power. Appeals on paper, but well over a year since yard's last two-year-old winner.

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Hidden Message (6/4), Conga (11/4), Jubiloso (11/4), Aldana (3/1), Sarasota Bay (3/1), Tweed Valley (7/2), Flighty Almighty (7/2), Bartle Hall (11/2), Sylviacliffs (12/1), Unwanted Beauty (16/1), Holy Macaroni (50/1)

This looks set to go to a newcomer, and the most appealing on paper is HIDDEN MESSAGE, who is bred in the purple and represents a yard with an excellent strike-rate with its youngsters here. Sarasota Bay is a half-sister to Sprint Cup hope Tasleet, and also makes the shortlist, along with Congam whose dam is a half-sister to Stewards' Cup winner Gift Horse.
