Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

13/2

Lawman filly who stepped up on her debut effort when runner-up in a Newmarket maiden (7f) 2 weeks ago, aided by the longer trip and joining Calm Skies on the line. Fancied to be thereabouts again.

18/1

Calm Skies¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

11/8

Shamardal filly who showed plenty of ability when third in a C&D maiden 2 weeks ago, just lacking the pace of the winner late on. Type to improve for that experience and one to consider.

Form: D

Eagle Path¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: I Mohammed & J Santos

14/1

Made an encouraging start to career when keeping on well for third in a Doncaster maiden (7f) 2 weeks ago. Related to useful sorts and she's another likely improver with that under her belt.

Form: 3

Signorina Merisi⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: M R Channon

20/1

Caravaggio filly from good family. Pedigree is one of contrasts and proved in need of the experience when eighth of 13 in a Newbury novice (6f) 9 days ago (racing keenly) and this should reveal more.

Form: 8

4/1

Foaled February 16. £125,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly. Half-sister to 5f winner Shelly Banks. Dam sprint maiden out of useful 7f/7.5f winner Etive. One to monitor closely in betting for clues.

Forecasts

Calm Skies (11/8), Wilderness Girl (4/1), Ephrata (9/2), Ardbraccan (13/2), Salve Japan (10/1), Eagle Path (14/1), Bouquet (18/1), Signorina Merisi (20/1), Mimi's Odyssey (22/1), Kingdom Girl (66/1)

CALM SKIES showed plenty of ability when hitting the frame in a C&D maiden 2 weeks ago, just lacking the pace late on against a highly promising newcomer. That experience ought not to have been wasted on her and she can come out on top. Newcomer Ephrata demands a close look, whilst Ardbraccan and Eagle Path complete the shortlist.
