66/1

Homebred daughter of Zoffany represents a powerful yard, though she was unfancied at 33/1 on debut over a mile at Doncaster and duly finished a long way last in October. Market may reveal more here.

Chocco Star²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Howling

100/1

Lawman fill, 66/1 and finished dead last on debut over 7f at Chelmsford last month. Looked in need of the experience but big step forward required none the less.

11/10

Kingman filly, half-sisters to connections' leading performer Expert Eye, commands a close look on this maiden trip to the racecourse.

Maerchengarten

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: E De Giles

66/1

Daughter of Bated Breath, makes some appeal on paper, albeit some of the other newcomers appear to have more going for them.

Perfect Grace

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson

14/1

Another out of Bated Breath in this field, trainer more than capable of having her primed for a good first showing and needs monitoring in the betting.

Regal Banner¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

5/2

Lope De Vega filly, out of a dam who won at this trip, and is a half-sister to the smart Group 3 winner over 7f Regal Realm. Shaped with promise on debut at Kempton and should go well here.

Form: 7

(4)

Something Blond

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

16/1

Olympic Glory filly, trainer won a division of this race last year, ensuring she's another of note in a heat where a betting check will prove essential.

Thakaa

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: C Hills

11/1

Filly by Lemon Drop Kid, represents leading connections on debut and makes appeal on paper. Should have ability.

Forecasts

Clerisy (11/10), Regal Banner (5/2), Beehaar (10/1), Thakaa (11/1), Perfect Grace (14/1), Engrossed (16/1), Something Blond (16/1), Fayetta (33/1), Catalogue (66/1), Maerchengarten (66/1), Chocco Star (100/1)

Those that have run set a fairly unexacting standard, the best of it coming from Regal Banner at Kempton and Roger Varian's charge will be involved here with improvement. The market will therefore be key in assessing these newcomers but on paper there's plenty going for CLERISY, a half-sister to Expert Eye and represent a top yard with a 21% strike rate around here in the previous 12 months. Beehaar, Thakaa and Perfect Grace are all worth noting in the betting on their first starts.
