Belle Bayeux¹⁵

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

66/1

Epaulette half-sister to two useful middle distance performers and a bumper winner. No surprise that 6f proved too sharp on debut and she is probably one for next year.

Form: 0

Dubrava¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 73

3/1

Took a big step forward on AW debut when unluckily denied a clear run. Sets the standard on that piece of form, although the time was moderate.

Form: 602

Flarepath⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

8/13

Dam 1m4f AW winner. Caught the eye on Leicester debut having attracted support beforehand. Stable 2-3 with AW juveniles this month.

Form: 6

Saikung¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Winston| T: C Hills

4/1

Mid-division on debut but not beaten far in a bunch finish. That form is untested but does not appear to leave her with much to find in this company.

Form: 6

Volcanique¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott

66/1

Galileo filly; third foal; half-sister to the 1m2f winners African and Pink Phantom; dam a 1m2f and 1m4f (Group 3) winner. Slowly away and always in rear on both starts to date so probably one for middle-distance handicaps next year.

Form: 00

Forecasts

Flarepath (8/13), Dubrava (3/1), Saikung (4/1), Wallaa (8/1), Belle Bayeux (66/1), Volcanique (66/1)

Wallaa's yard are in good form but it may pay to side with experience. Dubrava looked somewhat unlucky last time but a BHA rating of 73 reflects the standard of that race and the time was ordinary. As a result FLAREPATH is taken to advance on an eyecatching hands and heels ride on debut. Her trainer has placed his juveniles well on AW tracks in the last few days and the Royal runner has a pedigree for this surface.
