Freyja

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

6/1

Newcomer from the first crop of promising Gleneagles cost 37,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to nine winners inc Above Average (1m-1m2f inc Group 3) & Sent From Heaven (7f 2yo inc Group 3). Highly respected newcomer.

Incognito¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Mosse| T: M R Channon| OR: 76

4/1

Shaped with promise at a big price on her second start in a maiden and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Newmarket next before fifth of 15 in what looked a warm Glorious Goodwood maiden. Genuine chance now.

Form: 6425

Kashmirella

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

16/1

€32,000 yearling half-sister to 5f-6f winner Arcavallo who won at two by source of precocity Camacho so bred to be a forward type but yard's two-year-olds generally best watched first time out.

Form:

(8)

Moorland Spirit^b⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson

8/1

Kyllachy filly showed plenty of promise when keeping on after a slow start to finish a never nearer third of six at Brighton when greenness also hampered her. Sure to come on plenty so not ruled out even in this deeper contest.

Form: 3

(2)

Elegant Erin²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

7/2

Dandy Man filly made a promising start at Newbury beaten just ¾L into third of 13. Looked in need of this step up to 7f latest when a one-paced sixth at the same venue so not ruled out here.

Form: 36

(11)

Prairie Moppins

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: S Kirk

25/1

Newcomer by US sire Creative Cause cost $22,000 as a yearling. Once raced dam also US based so family little known on these shores but yard 2-10 with juveniles this season and in good form so market can guide.

Form:

(9)

Zulu Girl³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 68

5/1

Looked a nursery candidate in respectable but ultimately well beaten thirds of nine and 12 respectively at Newbury and Ascot latest over this trip. Will again be in the hunt for a place here with success dependent on less exposed sorts.

Form: 533

City Escape⁴⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest

10/1

Daughter of Cityscape was a never dangerous 4L fifth of six on debut at Doncaster (7f) in June. Had a break since but runners from that contest 1-7 since so form only moderate.

Form: 5

(13)

Kahpehlo⁵⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 52

150/1

Never a factor in three starts to date, including when 7L eighth in weak 7f Lingfield maiden won by Miss Matterhorn on latest start. This looks a tough ask.

Form: 568

(5)

Rosardo Senorita

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Raul Da Silva| T: Rae Guest

40/1

Newcomer by Requinto retained by her vendor for just 1,000gns as a yearling. Is the first foal from an unraced half-sister to 7 winners but overall looks best watched.

Form:

(3)

Russian Rumour

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman

25/1

4,000gns yearling by Make Believe is a half-sister to ordinary 1m winner Pushmi Pullyu. Yard 1-24 with two-year-olds in 2019 so plenty of cause for caution here.

Form:

(7)

Single^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: David Egan| T: M R Channon

14/1

Newcomer by top middle-distance sire Nathaniel cost 5,000gns as a yearling. Half-sister to 4 winners from 7f-1m4f and suggest she will come into her own next year. Stable also run leading player Incognito so market a guide.

Form:

(4)

Unbridled Light^t1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: J F Egan| T: A J Honeyball

50/1

Newcomer by Hunter's Light went unsold at auction. Half-sister to three winners from 1m1f-1m6f and looks the sort to watch with a view to stepping up in trip.

Form:

Forecasts

Elegant Erin (7/2), Incognito (4/1), Zulu Girl (5/1), Freyja (6/1), Moorland Spirit (8/1), City Escape (10/1), Single (14/1), Kashmirella (16/1), Russian Rumour (25/1), Prairie Moppins (25/1), Rosardo Senorita (40/1), Unbridled Light (50/1), Kahpehlo (150/1)

Although perhaps slightly vulnerable to less exposed sorts Mick Channon's INCOGNITO gets the vote after three solid efforts including in a red-hot Glorious Goodwood maiden last time out. Richard Hannon is always respected here and his twice-raced Elegant Erin looks sure to fare better now upped to 7f for the first time. Also respected is Moorland Spirit who ran a promising race on debut. Freyja appeals most of the newcomers.
