Ghalyoon¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning

8/11

Made a promising debut on turf last time on his first start for his new yard when second at Newmarket (7f) in a seven runner field behind a smart filly. Unexposed and could have a lot more to offer. One for shortlist.

Form: 7-2

Zahee

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S bin Suroor

4/1

Iffraaj colt who cost 200,000 guineas as a yearling. His dam was a winner over 5f on the fibresand so he should have the speed for this contest. Interesting newcomer. Keep an eye out for any market confidence behind him.

Soldier's Son³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: H Candy

14/1

Has shown very little in his two starts so far, including his latest outing on the AW at Kempton (7f) where he was 7th of 14 when going off at 50/1. Needs to take a big step forward to be competitive.

Form: 07

Stepaside Boy⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: P D Evans

66/1

Has been beaten a long way in his two starts so far where the market has had very little confidence behind him. He was 14½l behind last time at Lingfield (7f) when fourth of six. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 04

(7)

Mother Brown³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner

66/1

Could only finish sixth of eight on her debut at Bath (5½f) where she was outpaced very early into the contest. Needs to improve a lot from her opening appearance. Does not make much of an appeal.

Form: 6

Posted⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

11/4

Remains a maiden after six races but has come close on a number of occasions, including on latest attempt at Doncaster (7f) when third of seven. This looks a good chance with the weight advantage on her side.

Form: 2286-43

Forecasts

Ghalyoon (8/11), Posted (11/4), Zahee (4/1), Soldier's Son (14/1), Pentimento (50/1), Mother Brown (66/1), Stepaside Boy (66/1)

On what she has shown so far, POSTED is not far away from her opening success and it could come here as she is getting weight off many of her rivals so it looks a good opportunity for the filly. Ghalyoon is sure to build upon his second place finish at Newmarket last time but does have a lot of weight to concede with Posted, while Zahee is the most interesting newcomer in the race and has to be respected on his opening start.
