African Dream

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden

11/4

Cost 220,00 guineas as a yearling; related to plenty of winners, most notably decent 7f handicapper Big Tour; market may provide best guide on debut for leading stable.

Amarsanaa¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox

11/1

Improved on her race course debut at Lingfield (7f) in October with a much better performance at Kempton over a similar trip; if able to build on that effort she looks to be one of the leading contenders.

Form: 93

(5)

Arriviste¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: Rae Guest

3/1

Still needs to mature a little but looks like she will have a promising career ahead of her based on her two racecourse appearances at Doncaster and over course and distance last week; if settling better she has every chance.

Form: 63

Fantasy Lover

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: M Appleby

50/1

Cost just 5,500 guineas as a yearling; half-sister to useful two.year.old sprinter Street Parade; hard to assess on debut and worth a check in the market to gauge stable confidence..

Kingmans Spirit³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: D Loughnane

25/1

Showed up well in both her racecourse appearances at Wolvehampton and expect her to race prominently again; the expensively-bought filly shaped as though she would appreciate this step up in trip and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 67

(7)

Magnificia¹³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A McCarthy| T: E A L Dunlop

16/1

Ran green on both her starts at Newmarket and Yarmouth in July but showed on her latest start she has plenty of ability when staying on to take the runner's up spot; might need the run but market support would be interesting.

Form: 02

Muritz¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

5/1

40,000 guineas Free Eagle filly whose unraced dam is half-sister to a Group 3 winner; outpaced in the early stages on debut at Newcastle on debut, she stayed on nicely in the closing stages and has chances on that form.

Form: 5

(6)

Tamao^h⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A M Balding

40/1

Tamayuz filly. Dam, French 1m winner, closely related to very smart 1m-1m4f winner Mutual Trust; retains the hood she wore on debut when never dangerous and very green; entitled to improve but not an obvious winner.

Form: 7

(2)

True Believer⁸

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

11/4

€150,000 yearling, Make Believe filly; plenty stamina on the dams side and tried to use that attribute when attempting to make all on debut at Wolverhampton last week; should be fitter and likely front runner once again; chances.

Form: 3

Forecasts

True Believer (11/4), African Dream (11/4), Arriviste (3/1), Muritz (5/1), Amarsanaa (11/1), Magnificia (16/1), Kingmans Spirit (25/1), Tamao (40/1), Fantasy Lover (50/1), Trouser The Cash (50/1)

AFRICAN DREAM would not have to be anything special to land this on her debut. The well-bred and expensively bought filly does not meet any outstanding rivals and may be good enough first time up. Amarsanaa has shaped nicely on both her runs over this trip and if improving again her experience should hold her in good stead. Arriviste needs to settle better but if doing so then she has plenty of ability ands it won't be long before she loses her maiden tag. True Believer will probably need further in time but if allowed to make this a true test of stamina from the front then her chances are hard to write off.
