8/1

Footstepsinthesand half-sister to 5f-1m winner Dance Alone out of a winning half-sister to high-class sprinter/miler Gift Horse. Comfortable winner of 6f novice event at this track in September and is respected under her penalty.

Form: 1-

Listen To The Wind¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

13/8

Confirmed the promise of her Kempton debut when landing a Lingfield novice event in November. More needed this time, but leading trainer/jockey combination is always to be respected.

Form: 21-

(9)

I Am Magical²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 76| BF

11/2

No shortage of promise in three starts as a juvenile when trained by Hugo Palmer. First run for this stable and steps up in trip, but may be one for further down the line.

Form: 634-

(12)

Infuse²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton

3/1

Lope De Vega filly whose dam is a sister to a winner over this trip and half-sister to a 1,000 Guineas. Ordinary debut effort at Newmarket in the autumn, but should leave that form behind in due course.

Form: 7-

(8)

La Voix Magique¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: Steph Hollinshead

16/1

Poet's Voice filly who is closely related to a 1m winner in the US. Never-nearer sixth of 19 on debut over 7f at Newbury recently and should be sharper now.

Form: 6

(3)

Mooteram¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Downing| T: M R Channon

50/1

Moohaajim filly who cost only €1,000 as a yearling but is a half-sister to a winning miler. Well behind La Voix Magique on debut at Newbury and clearly needs to take a big step forward.

Form: 0

(4)

Nespola

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

13/2

Daughter of New Approach who is a half-sister to a winner over 1m. Represents leading, in-form trainer and has to be checked out in the betting on debut.

Form:

Shamkha³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: F Sweeney| T: R Hannon

28/1

Not beaten far on debut at Chelmsford in October, but failed to build on that at Wolverhampton on return to action last month. Still early days for her, but more is required.

Form: 4-6

(10)

Universal Effect^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: D R Lanigan

25/1

Universal filly who is a half-sister to a winner over 1m4f. Plenty of stamina in pedigree so she may find this distance on the sharp side as she makes her racecourse bow.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Listen To The Wind (13/8), Infuse (3/1), Lady Lawyer (7/2), I Am Magical (11/2), Nespola (13/2), Conga (8/1), Beautiful Gesture (14/1), Abr Al Hudood (14/1), La Voix Magique (16/1), Universal Effect (25/1), Shamkha (28/1), Mooteram (50/1)

Abr Al Hudood and Nespola are appealing newcomers, but this may be fought out by previous winners Conga, Listen To The Wind and LADY LAWYER. The latter has a US pedigree and won on the AW on debut, but there is no reason to think she will not adapt to turf and she hails from a top yard with plenty of talent in this department.
