(10)

Queen Salamah¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Spencer| T: R Spencer

7/2

Showed promise when finishing 3½L fourth in a C&D novice race on good-to-firm going when making her debut last month. Likely to have improved for the experience and is a notable runner in this contest.

Form: 4

(6)

Where Next Jo⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Liam Keniry| T: P D Evans

16/1

Beaten 11½L when finishing sixth of 12 in a C&D novice event on good ground when making her debut in May. Absent since and is probably best watched at present.

Form: 6

(9)

Chisana

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall

20/1

Unraced daughter of Bated Breath purchased for 10,000 gns at the sales last October. Half-sister to useful pair Sayif and Hunter Street and market support would be notable on debut.

Form:

(5)

Sahhab

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: T E Whelan| T: G Deacon

40/1

Unraced Declaration Of War filly and a half-sister to the useful sprinter/miler Waterway Run. Others make more appeal for a yard who are 0/10 with their juveniles in recent years.

Form:

(8)

Hot Date⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: G G Margarson

40/1

Well beaten in two starts so far including when 24L seventh of eight over 7f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) last week. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 07

(4)

Annie Quickstep

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman

33/1

Unraced Epaulette filly bought for £800 at the sales last September. Dam won over 7f on the AW and others make more appeal on debut.

Form:

(2)

Epsom Faithfull⁵⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Charlie Bennett| T: P Phelan

25/1

Signs of ability when finishing 6L fifth in a 5f maiden at Lingfield (good-to-soft) on debut just under two months ago. Likely to be of more interest once tackling handicaps however.

Form: 5

(1)

Mild Illusion¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

8/11

Finished runner-up on both previous starts most recently when beaten 1¼L on good-to-firm going over C&D last month. Remains open to improvement and is one for the shortlist in this contest.

Form: 22

(3)

Santorini Sal¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 54

18/1

Fair form in three starts to date including when fifth over C&D last month. Held by Mild Illusion on that form however and likely to find a few too good once more.

Form: 545

(7)

You Don't Own Me¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J Tuite

6/1

Shaped as if in need of the experience when finishing seventh of 12 over C&D on debut last month. Bit to find with a couple of her rivals on that form.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Mild Illusion (8/11), Queen Salamah (7/2), You Don't Own Me (6/1), Where Next Jo (16/1), Santorini Sal (18/1), Chisana (20/1), Epsom Faithfull (25/1), Annie Quickstep (33/1), Hot Date (40/1), Sahhab (40/1)

QUEEN SALAMAH showed plenty of promise when debuting here last month and she is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking in this fillies maiden. Mild Illusion can register a third consecutive second place finish by chasing the selection home. Chisana, a half-sister to a couple of useful sprinters and can claim third on debut.
