Dunkerque filly out of a mare who was placed on the Flat in France; was doing her best work in the closing stages of her debut at Lingfield at the end of October; entitled to improve and one for the shortlist.

Kendargent filly and a half-sister to winner El Picador; unable to land a blow on either of her racecourse appearances; likely to need more experience before troubling the judge.

100/1

Harbour Watch filly who is full-sister to a 6f AW winner; weak on both racecourse appearances in late November and hard to see where the sudden improvement in form will come from in order to get competitive.

Forecasts

Martin's Brig (13/8), Mazikeen (5/2), Flash To Bang (7/2), Beechwood Jim Bob (8/1), Indigo Times (12/1), Alborkan (20/1), Nikolayeva (25/1), Rosa Gold (40/1), Hoorayforthegrey (50/1), Sparkling Or Still (80/1), Welsh Back (100/1)

MARTIN'S BRIG was well backed on his racecourse debut at Newcastle over seven furlongs early last month and shaped that day as though he will appreciate this step up in trip. Expect him to be well supported if connections think he is ready to get of the mark. Another who showed promise on her debut was Mazikeen. The filly looked as though she was getting the hang of things in the closing stages at Lingfield in October and if able to build on that she may give the selection most to worry about. If Indigo Times can show he has matured from his racecourse debut in September then the gelding has every chance to progress and should be winning sooner or later.
