Aadya^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: George Scott

33/1

Newcomer by top sire Nathaniel whose progeny excel as three-year-olds is a half-sister to a winner in Greece. Trainer has just an average record with two-year-olds and hood on debut not often a positive.

Butsova

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hayley Turner| T: M L W Bell

9/1

230,000gns foal by top sire Dansili is a half-sister to Group Three winning two-year-old Bye Bye Birdie (5f-6f). Dam an unraced sister to two-year-old Group One winner Sulk so very well related and has to therefore be considered,

Fanny Logan

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

8/1

Newcomer by Sea The Stars out of a French Listed placed mare successful from 1m1½f to 1m4f. Represents the champion trainer but appears second choice on jockey bookings and pedigree suggests next year will be her time.

Maqsad²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas

4/9

€775,000 filly by Siyouni (sire of Laurens) out of a French 1m4f winner who was also Listed placed and made a most promising debut when second of eight at Newmarket over 7f. Extra 1f sure to benefit and sets the bar very high here.

Form: 2

Mehdaayih⁶⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| BF

4/1

Frankel filly built on an eye-catching midfield debut at Goodwood (7f) when second at Doncaster as an odds-on favourite (1m). Leading claims and looks stable first string on jockey bookings.

Form: 62

Perfecimperfection²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Mosse| T: M Botti

33/1

Camelot filly ran with some promise before run petered out and she ended up seventh of 10 on debut at Nottingham earlier this month. More to come but others bring much stronger form to the table.

Form: 7

Persuer

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

12/1

Cost €62,000 at the sales in the Spring as a daughter on Intello and a half-sister to four winner including a couple at two. Likable enough pedigree and trainer does well with two-year-olds but this a tough ask.

Rainbow Spirit³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: E A L Dunlop

50/1

10th of 13 on debut at Newmarket followed by sixth of 12 at Lingfield on the AW latest, both over 7f. Should appreciate extra 1f on pedigree but others appeal more nevertheless.

Form: 06

Velvet Vista

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Louis Steward| T: M H Tompkins

80/1

Sea The Moon newcomer is a hal-sister to a 1m2f AW winner out of a dam successful from 1m-1m4f. Trainer's record with two-year-olds enough to suggest she is best watched for now.

Forecasts

Maqsad (4/9), Mehdaayih (4/1), Fanny Logan (8/1), Butsova (9/1), Persuer (12/1), Aadya (33/1), Perfecimperfection (33/1), Rainbow Spirit (50/1), Bella Beluga (50/1), Velvet Vista (80/1)

Expensive filly MAQSAD made a most encouraging start at Newmarket when second over 7f and her pedigree suggests she will be even better over 1m so she looks sure to take a lot of beating here. Mehdaayih was second as an odds-on favourite latest and she is very much the obvious danger. The top two set a high standard but of the rest newcomer Fanny Logan, stablemate of Mehdaayih, makes the most appeal.
