Dutch Melody⁴⁸⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Victor Santos⁽⁷⁾| T: L Egerton| OR: 40

300/1

Poor maiden. First run for 16 months. No appeal.

Form: 969894-

(2)

Model Guest^b²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: A Watson| OR: 79

2/1

Very frustrating maiden, though didn't appear to do much wrong when second of 12 in C&D handicap 28 days ago, headed final strides under this rider. Obvious chance if backing that up.

Form: 222432

(3)

Dafinah

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: J & T Gosden

11/4

War Front filly. Dam US 2-y-o Grade 1 8.5f winner, later won Canadian Grade 3 6.5f event. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and found potentially a good opening for her debut.

Luckyangel⁷⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: M Mullineaux

50/1

Went backwards from debut when last of 9 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) 76 days ago. Plenty more needed.

Form: 29

(8)

Pivotal Decision³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate

11/2

Well-backed 4/1, eighth of 12 in novice at this course (6f) on debut 35 days ago, green and not knocked about. Likely to improve.

Form: 8

(4)

Sarsanet⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 41

150/1

Well beaten in 3 similar events.

Form: 999

(9)

Tefnut²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish

11/2

$150,000 half-sister to several winners out of a 1000 Guineas winner. Promise when fourth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 12/1) on debut 27 days ago. Entitled to improve, but she needs to.

Form: 4

(7)

The Saddle Rock¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 38

300/1

Little sign of ability.

Form: 004000

(6)

Turaath¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Hills| OR: 74

3/1

Maiden who couldn't get the job done from a good position in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 17/2) 18 days ago, finding little final furlong. Some of her form reads well but she looks tricky.

Form: 8-4536

Forecasts

Model Guest (2/1), Dafinah (11/4), Turaath (3/1), Tefnut (11/2), Pivotal Decision (11/2), Luckyangel (50/1), Sarsanet (150/1), Dutch Melody (300/1), The Saddle Rock (300/1)

Potentially a good opening for the well-bred DAFINAH, who comes up against the frustrating pair of Model Guest and Turaath on her debut. John Gosden has sent out plenty of winning newcomers here, including some of the stable stars in recent years. Model Guest didn't seem to do much wrong when chinned in a handicap here 4 weeks ago but that took her record to 0-20.
