Signs of ability in two of her four starts in bumpers but struggled over an extended 2m in her most recent start in that sphere at Doncaster (good-to-soft) last month. Probably best watched on Flat debut.

Unraced Swiss Spirit filly and a half-sister to three winners including multiple scorer Dear Bruin. Interesting to see how she performs on her belated debut.

Improved on previous efforts when finishing fourth in a similar race to this over course and distance last time out. Has a wide draw to overcome if she is to improve on that effort.

Well beaten 20L seventh of nine when contesting a 1m novice race on debut at Kempton last month. Others make more appeal on this occasion.

5/4
Unraced Shamardal filly out of a mare who won in Group 3 company over 7f as a juvenile. Represents leading connections and she is one for the shortlist for a stable with a 33% strike-rate (6/18) in the last two weeks.
Unraced Declaration Of War filly purchased for €60,000 as a yearling in 2018. Half-sister to a winner at this venue and she is of interest on her first racecourse appearance.

Showed promise when finishing 4¼L fifth in a course and distance novice race when making her debut last month. Likely to have improved for that experience and market support would be notable.

Ran well to finish 2L third when making her debut in a similar race to this over C&D last month. Open to improvement and strong claims of getting off the mark at the second time of asking.

Unraced home-bred Kyllachy filly and a half-sister to two winners in Italy. Interesting to see how she performs with cheekpieces worn on racecourse debut.

Unraced daughter of Mastercraftsman was purchased for €60,000 at the sales as a yearling. Dam won over 1m2f and she is worth a check in the market on debut.

Unraced home-bred Harbour Watch filly out of a mare who won eight times from 1m2f to 2m1f. Likely to appreciate further in time.

Attempted to make all prior to weakening into 4½L sixth in a novice race over this course and distance on debut last month. Likely capable of better on this occasion.

Forecasts

Beautiful Illusion (5/4), Distant Goddess (7/4), Festive Love (3/1), Vega's Angel (7/1), Dima (14/1), Nearly Perfection (20/1), Cabaret Parisienne (20/1), Silver Desert (28/1), Fairy Lachy (80/1), Grape Soda (100/1), Sukie Two (150/1), Convivial (200/1), Ollie's Dream (200/1)

Verdict

FESTIVE LOVE showed promise when runner-up on debut at Kempton and she can go one better stepping up in trip to take this opening fillies' novice event. The selection looks capable of getting the better of the Charlie Appleby-trained Distant Goddess who was placed here on debut while third place can go the way of Beautiful Illusion, an unraced Shamardal filly and a second runner for the Charlie Appleby stable.
  1. Festive Love
  2. Distant Goddess
  3. Beautiful Illusion
