7/2

Anificas Beauty¹¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: Miss Gay Kelleway

80/1

Debut on the AW at Lingfield in June wasn't completely devoid of promise, but she'll need to take a big step forward in order to land this maiden.

Form: 4

Bint Elmalek

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

11/1

Foaled May 17. Dam unraced half-sister to high-class winner up to 1m Bahri and very smart 2-y-o 7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Bahhare. Jim Crowley prefers Al Husn, but she needs a market check nonetheless.

Foaled February 28. 25,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn filly. Dam, 1m winner who stayed 10.3f, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Natalie's Joy. Will probably come on for the run.

Lady Xenia

11/1

Foaled February 17. 52,000 gns yearling, Caravaggio filly. Dam 1½m-13.3f winner out of smart 1¼m-1½m winner Briolette. Represents top yard and needs close attention in the betting.

20/1

Foaled March 29. Sister to very smart winner up to 7f James Garfield and closely related to useful winner up to 1m The Shrew. Dam 2-y-o 6f/7f winner. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

9/1

Foaled February 25. Half-sister to 1½m winner Defined. Dam, 1½m winner who stayed 14.5f, sister to very smart winner up to 1m Alice Springs. Lots to like on paper and the market should be revealing.

Siamsa²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon

9/1

Has shown promise in a couple of novice events at Kempton, latterly chasing home a useful-looking filly in a 4-runner affair over 7f. Likely to take a hand in the finish.

Form: 42

Thanks Monica⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Dettori| T: R M Beckett

1/1

Positive start to her career when fourth in a 10-runner maiden on the July course (7f) in August. That form looks pretty decent and she's a big player here with improvement on the cards.

Forecasts

Thanks Monica (1/1), Al Husn (7/2), Siamsa (9/1), Parameter (9/1), Bint Elmalek (11/1), Lady Xenia (11/1), Indy Moon (16/1), Morag Mccullagh (20/1), Rose's Girl (20/1), Chips And Rice (28/1), Anificas Beauty (80/1)

Several of the newcomers are appealing, but THANKS MONICA is taken to strike on the back of her encouraging debut fourth on the other course here. The form of that maiden is working out fairly well and the booking of Frankie Dettori is an added boost. Siamsa should pick up a race before long, but debutantes Al Husn, Parameter and Lady Xenia (in that order of preference) may pose bigger threats.
