Good effort in finishing third in a 7f maiden at Doncaster (good) on debut last month. Improvement likely and is one for the shortlist for a leading stable.

Well beaten when debuting over 5f at Bath (good) in April last year. Gelded since and probably best watched on seasonal debut.

Sterling Price

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: E J Walsh| T: George Scott| BF

20/1

Good fifth behind a subsequent Group 1 winner on debut at Yarmouth (6f, good-to-firm) last June. Disappointed next time out however and interesting to see how she fares on seasonal debut.

Form: 54-

Alliseeisnibras

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: I Mohammed

25/1

Unraced Slad Power filly purchased for 85,000 gns as a yearling. Half-sister to the useful Alsindi among others and is worth a check in the market on debut.

5/1

Unraced daughter of Exceed And Excel bought for 500,000 gns as a yearling. Half-sister to the stables high class miler Beat The Bank and is one to note on debut.

Jumeirah¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

80/1

Sent off big prices in two starts over 7f so far including on debut here last month. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw

200/1

Slowly away when beaten 32L in a 7f novice race at Chelmsford on debut just under a fortnight ago. Others hold stronger claims.

Victory Rose¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: Mrs L Pearce

66/1

Improved on debut effort when finishing sixth over this trip at Lingfield (soft) last time out. Likely more needed if she is to take this event however.

Form: 66

Forecasts

Alkaraama (1/4), Chil Chil (5/1), Ice Cave (6/1), Derry Boy (7/1), Journey Of Life (16/1), Alabama Dreaming (20/1), Alliseeisnibras (25/1), Victory Rose (66/1), Sterling Price (80/1), Jumeirah (80/1), Broadhaven Dream (200/1), Shawwaslucky (200/1)

ALKARAAMA made a highly promising debut on turf last month and he is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking in this opening novice event. The well-bred Chil Chil is a half-sister to a Group 1 performer and she can finish runner-up ahead of Derry Boy who can put a below par effort last time out behind him to take third.
