Brown Mouse^h1,t1²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: K P De Foy

12/1

Had wind op before encouraging sixth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 16/1) on her debut 25 days ago. Hood/tongue strap now, and likely to do better. No forlorn hope.

Form: 6

(5)

Ching Shih

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock

9/4

Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to useful 1m winner Oriental Mystique. Dam, winner up to 1½m, won Musidora Stakes. Lots to like on paper, so an interesting newcomer who is well worth a market check.

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Sullivan| T: D McCain Jnr

50/1

Champs Elysees filly. Dam, lightly raced on Flat, winning hurdler, out of unraced sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Magadan. Yard isn't noted for its debut winners. Market can guide.

Fonteyn²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| BF

11/4

11/8, promising third of 5 in minor event at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) on her debut 23 days ago, racing very green. Open to fair bit of progress, and she's sure to be in the mix.

Form: 3

(7)

Hopedale⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jamie Gormley| T: I Jardine

100/1

Twice-raced filly. 40/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 42 days ago. Needs a big step forwward if she's to figure here.

Form: 85

Mambo Beauty⁵¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 79

80/1

Lightly-raced filly. First run since leaving Ken Condon when last of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (5.8f, good to firm) 51 days ago. Significantly up in trip for tapeta debut with work to do.

(9)

Never Say Nay¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

150/1

Hinted at promise when debut seventh of 8 in maiden (66/1) here (7.1f) 11 days ago. Should have more to offer for good yard.

Form: 7

(2)

Peripatetic²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian

5/4

13/2, shaped well when debut second of 8 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good) 20 days ago, missing break and racing green but going on at the finish. Sure to build on that, and the one to beat.

Form: 2

(4)

Sky Watcher

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Alan Persse⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke

22/1

£15,000 yearling, Galileo Gold filly. Half-sister to 6f winner Alicia Darcy. Dam once-raced half-sister to smart 1m winner Baltic Knight. Bred to be no back number and yard can ready them. Considered.

Form:

Forecasts

Peripatetic (5/4), Ching Shih (9/4), Fonteyn (11/4), Brown Mouse (12/1), Sky Watcher (22/1), Eclairant Le Monde (50/1), Mambo Beauty (80/1), Hopedale (100/1), Never Say Nay (150/1)

PERIPATETIC went with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Newmarket on her recent debut and can go one better now with a fair bit of improvement in the pipeline expected from this well-related daughter of Ulysses. Fonteyn is another with much better days ahead of her and Kevin Ryan's Beverey third is next on the list with David Simcock's newcomer Ching Shih also greatly respected.
