9/1

Zoffany filly out of a Group-placed mare; fetched 80,000 gns as a yearling; a fifth foal and a half-sister to winners Crimean Tatar and Mina Vagante. Will need further in time but worth a market check on debut.

Havana Princess⁶³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: Dr J D Scargill

100/1

Has only beaten one rival home in two well beaten efforts so far and would need to improve out of all recognition to be anywhere near competitive.

Form: 08

My Poem¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Louis Steward| T: Sir Michael Stoute

5/1

Green when fourth on debut and improved nicely to fill the same position at Chelmsford on her second start. Faces different conditions but that sets a good standard and she's likely to improve for the extra stamina test.

Form: 44

(3)

Pax Britannica²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: D M Simcock

33/1

Struggled to make an impression so far while running below her debut on her second start. Much more needed. Stable won a division of this race in 2017 and also run Float.

Form: 80

(6)

Too Big To Fail¹³

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

6/4

Second foal; half-sister to the yard's useful 1m 2yo/1m6f Listed winner Vivid Diamond. Handled soft ground on debut when green but keeping on to good effect. Backed up by a reasonable time and a likely improver for this stable.

Form: 4

(8)

Wendreda²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: G Mosse| T: Mrs I G-Leveque

50/1

Picked up for just 1,500 gns as a yearling and never got involved at 100/1 on this month's debut. Easy to dismiss.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Too Big To Fail (6/4), Frankly Darling (7/2), My Poem (5/1), Cabaletta (6/1), Combine (9/1), Float (14/1), Pax Britannica (33/1), Wendreda (50/1), Havana Princess (100/1)

My Poem sets the standard and for powerful connections she's only likely to improve and it would be no surprise to see her open her account. The ground is an unknown though in a race full of heavyweight stables. Considering she was very much in need of experience on debut, TOO BIG TO FAIL ran a hugely encouraging race and when you consider how much her trainer's juveniles improve with experience, she's worth taking a chance on. Frankly Darling is greatly feared on debut and conditions could well prove suitable.
