Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: S Kirk

18/1

Sales price fell from 42,000 guineas foal to 16,000 guineas as a yearling; by Iffraaj out of dam closely related to some useful performers.; some promise on debut at Kempton in October; can progress and market could be good guide.

Whitehaven¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: H Morrison

18/1

Showed up well for a long way on debut at Southwell at the end of last month when weakening in the closing stages; should be fitter and stronger here and one to note.

Golden Times¹²

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

80/1

Has tried to make all on both starts to date but finished last in each contest; needs to settle better and interesting what tactics will be employed here for this well-bred filly.

Form: 50

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane

66/1

First foal by Due Diligence and hails from family of past 1000 Guineas winner Cape Verdi; no great shakes on both her two starts to date and likely to be of more interest from a betting perspective when sent handicapping.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 68| BF

Has plenty of experience and has shown glimpses of ability in her four starts to suggest she is capable of winning a race of this quality; trainer may have found a decent opportunity to get off the mark.

Forecasts

Jalwan (9/4), Holy Eleanor (5/2), Millionaire Waltz (4/1), Secret Smile (13/2), Paint It Black (18/1), Whitehaven (18/1), Rich Girl (40/1), High Maintenance (66/1), Golden Times (80/1)

HOLY ELEANOR has taken time to get the hang of things but showed she could be a progressive filly when only narrowly being beat at Lingfield last time out, showing a good spirit up the home straight. Well backed that day, expect similar market support if connections feel she is capable of winning this well. Secret Smile is another who has been slow to come to hand but is starting to show signs of ability and is expected to progress once again. Whitehaven got tired on her debut as Southwell in November but with that run under belt expect her to run a prominent race from her low draw.
