20/1

Won a couple of 6f novices on the AW at 2 yrs and showed useful form when runner-up in a listed race at Chantilly on return. More needed here, though, and others have more potential.

Form: 27113-2

13/2

370,000 gns foal, Kingman filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 10.3f Viren's Army. Made winning debut in soft-ground C&D maiden in October but that form hasn't worked out. Has potential at least.

11/4

Kingman filly who made highly promising start when getting up late to win novice at Ascot (8f, good). Followed up in impression fashion in listed race at Newbury (7f, heavy). Smart prospect.

25/1

York novice winner who has acquitted herself well in better company since, 2¼ lengths fourth to Saffron Beach in Oh So Sharp Stakes final start. Up against it here.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 101| CD

4/1

Didn't go unbacked when landing a good-ground C&D maiden in fine style and took step up in class in her stride when following up in Oh So Sharp Stakes over same C&D. More to come.

Seattle Rock²²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S Kirk| OR: 93

Best effort when third to Star of Emaraaty in the Sweet Solera last summer but is still a maiden and faces another stiff task on return.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 97| D

13/2

Shock winner of the Sweet Solera (July Course) but limitations exposed at a higher level after. Has since left Kevin Ryan and improvement needed.

Form: 014157-

Tawahub¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden| D

12/1

Kingman filly who left debut well behind when winning Chelmsford novice in October. That form is just ordinary, but she very much looks the sort that will go on improving.

Form: 71-

Ventura Diamond¹⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: R A Fahey| OR: 98| C

14/1

Took form to another level when ending 2-y-o season with all-the-way wins at Leicester and listed race here, both at 6f on heavy. Faces different conditions here, though.

Form: 145611-

Forecasts

Love Is You (11/4), Saffron Beach (4/1), Sacred (6/1), Star Of Emaraaty (13/2), Divine Light (13/2), Tawahub (12/1), Ventura Diamond (14/1), Chocoya (20/1), Mamba Wamba (25/1), Seattle Rock (40/1)

LOVE IS YOU has made a very promising start to her career, winning both her starts on differing ground in impressive fashion, and she has the form and the potential to maintain her unbeaten record. Saffron Beach has a similar profile to the selection and looks the obvious threat, while Sacred is also a contender on her best 2-y-o form.
