Al Jawhra³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby

16/1

Easy to back and well held on both starts over 7½f at Beverley so far. Can't rule out improvement, but probably more interesting when handicapping.

Form: 64

Athabasca

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer

20/1

Second foal. Dam placed 6f AW, and a half-sister to Leger winner Harbour Law and Group-placed 1m 2yo winner Moheet. Stable 1-16 with 2yos this season and not noted for debut winners.

Bound For Heaven²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke

9/2

16-1 and respectable effort on debut when 5L seventh of 11 at Newcastle (6f, AW). Can build on that, but would need a fair step up to get involved. Inside draw could help.

Form: 7

Gina D'cleaner³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: K Dalgleish

22/1

Improved on her Musselburgh debut when back over that C&D (good to firm) last month. Needs another big step up on that, however, and probably more interesting when entering handicaps.

Form: 76

Golden Hind

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Shane Gray| T: D O'Meara

5/1

Half-sister to winners Amazing Maria (7f-1m inc 2yo/Group 1), Constantino (7f-1m1½f) and Madame Butterfly (1m AW). Dam 6f AW 2yo winner. Sire won on good to soft. Lovely pedigree. Trainer 11% with 2yos over five seasons. Could go well on debut.

Let Her Loose¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey

9/4

Has shown some promise on both starts, her better effort being on debut at York (7f, good) last month. Not quite as good when stepped up to 1m (soft) at Ascot latest. Sets the standard of those to have had a run.

Form: 33

(4)

Mist In The Valley¹⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Lee| T: D H Brown

66/1

Well held at both Southwell and Redcar so far and makes no appeal yet on that form.

Form: 98

Ramsha¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: C & M Johnston

20/1

20-1 and a 16L last of 11 on debut at Chelmsford (7f, AW) recently. Represents top stable, so should be able to step up on that, but needs plenty of improvement to figure today. Check market for clues.

Form: 0

Samille³¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: Miss A Murphy

14/1

25-1 and not disgraced on debut, when under 8L third of four at Beverley (7½f, good to firm) last month. No surprise if she makes a bigger impact this time.

Form: 3

(5)

Savage Beauty

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

8/1

€7,000 yearling, £20,000 2yo. Eighth foal. Half-sister to winners Sabhan (1m/1m½f) and Brogans Bay (5f AW). Dam a French 1m2f winner, half-sister to 6f/6½f Group 1 winner Regal Parade. Nice pedigree and no surprise to see her make a good debut.

Form:

(12)

Secret Smile

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

10/1

22,000gns yearling. Half-sister to four winners including Nichols Canyon (1m1f-1m7½f Flat inc Listed/high-class hurdler) and Fujaira Prince (1m1f-1m2f). Dam unraced half-sister to 1m2f AW Gr 3 winner Nideeb. Represents top stable and can go well.

Forecasts

Let Her Loose (9/4), Bound For Heaven (9/2), Golden Hind (5/1), Savage Beauty (8/1), Secret Smile (10/1), Samille (14/1), Al Jawhra (16/1), Ramsha (20/1), Athabasca (20/1), Brazen Sheila (20/1), Gina D'cleaner (22/1), Marengo Sally (50/1), Mist In The Valley (66/1)

Interest in this contest could primarily centre on those yet to have raced. Secret Smile has a poor draw to contend with, but all four of her half-siblings are winners and it would be no surprise to see her go well for a top stable. The latter half of that comment applies to the better drawn Savage Beauty, who represents a stable in slightly better current form. However, the newcomer of most interest on pedigree is GOLDEN HIND, who has a few things going for her and a chance is taken on her to make a winning debut. Let Her Loose and Samille are far from discounted and appeal most of those with experience.
