Freyabella³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Robert Tart| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 71| CD

11/8

Improved when winning 11-runner nursery (4/1) at this C&D 33 days ago, landing a gamble with a bit in hand under this rider. Will need more to follow up on these terms.

Form: 2701

Aye Catcher^h1³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Laura Pearson⁽³⁾| T: Tom Clover

18/1

Just modest form in a couple of 5f novice events 4 months apart, though it was a good contest she contested at Lingfield latest. Hood goes on.

Form: 44

(4)

Lady Fantasia⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: R Varian| OR: 72

9/4

Well-bred filly who fared much better when third of 8 in maiden at Sandown (5f, firm, 11/2) 53 days ago, leading until late on. Can open her account now.

Form: 643

(2)

Nikki's Girl⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop

6/1

Much improved from debut when third of 8 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good, 14/1) 45 days ago, nearest finish. That form doesn't look much but she should have more to offer.

Form: 03

(5)

White Jasmine¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: G Boughey| OR: 73

9/2

Supported and took a step forward when second of 6 in nursery (5/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 11 days ago, headway when hampered final 1f. Surely has a race in her.

Form: 240452

Forecasts

Freyabella (11/8), Lady Fantasia (9/4), White Jasmine (9/2), Nikki's Girl (6/1), Aye Catcher (18/1)

A tricky novice but LADY FANTASIA shaped much better from the front in a Sandown maiden 8 weeks ago that has thrown up winners and the well-bred filly is taken to open her account now. White Jasmine may have won a Lingfield nursery with better luck recently and is the obvious danger.
