Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: H & R Charlton| CD

1/1

11/4, overcame inexperience to make a winning debut over C&D last August. That bare form nothing special but there could be plenty more to come from this well-bred daughter of Frankel.

80/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, firm) on debut 20 days ago, not knocked about. Needs to have come on a lot.

Sir Percy colt. Dam, third in France at 11.5f, half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Teruntum Star out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Seralia. Wears tongue strap for debut. Betting should guide.

Ziggy²⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace

25/1

Well held on 1m Kempton debut last September but did go off at a single-figure price so better was perhaps expected. Been gelded. Trainer among the winners. No shock were he to play a prominent role.

10/1

125,000 gns Muhaarar filly. Dam 6f winner, runner-up in Ballyogan Stakes. Newcomer from a leading stable in good form. Would enter the reckoning if the betting suggests she's fancied.

Forecasts

Beheld (1/1), Badlands (5/2), Sunset (13/2), Himyan (10/1), Progressive Ez (25/1), Ziggy (25/1), Shadow Angel (28/1), Sir Joseph Swan (33/1), Unsaid (80/1), Sunline (100/1), Margarets Memory (200/1)

BADLANDS made a promising start to his career at Newcastle recently and is narrowly preferred to returning C&D debut scorer Beheld. Himyan is a newcomer who needs keeping an eye on in the market, while Sunset and Ziggy have the potential to leave last year's opening runs behind.
