Adelaise⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: M Meade| D

33/1

45,000 gns yearling who left her debut effort well behind when landing a 7f Kempton novice in good style last month. Likely to go on improving, but a huge step forward will be needed if she's to make a meaningful impact at this level.

Form: 7-1

Barbanera¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Soumillon| T: R A Fahey| OR: 93

16/1

Confirmed debut promise when bagging a soft-ground minor event at York (5f) in October. Improved again when third to Symphony Perfect in a 6f Newmarket listed race later that month, keeping on in the closing stages, but probably biting off more than she can chew here.

Form: 213-

Benefit¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 92

33/1

Looked promising when winning her first two starts as a juvenile, particularly when readily landing a five-runner contest at Leicester with Symphony Perfect back in third. However, well adrift of the latter at Newmarket when last seen in October, so she now has something to prove.

Form: 110-

Eve Lodge²⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: C Fellowes| OR: 102

22/1

Improved markedly when outpointing subsequent Group 2 winner Wings of War and five others in the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton (6f) in September. Struggled in the Cheveley Park at Newmarket next time and she arguably lacks the scope of some of these rivals.

Heat Of The Moment¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam

33/1

Half-sister to several winners and promising start to her career when quickening nicely to land a 6f Yarmouth novice on debut in October. Bare form is no more than fair, but she's every inch an unknown quantity and shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 1-

Jumbly¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 104| CD

11/4

Well-bred filly who tasted defeat just once from four starts as a 2-y-o, signing off with a thoroughly decisive display in a C&D listed race (heavy) in October. Quicker ground won't be an issue (debut success was on good) and she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 1141-

Majestic Glory¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A M Balding| OR: 100| D

14/1

Frankel filly who proved a length too strong for Wild Beauty when landing the Sweet Solera at Newmarket last summer. However, she was disappointing in the Rockfel there next time and finished stone last in the Fillies' Mile when last seen in October.

Form: 621169-

Miss Carol Ann¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| BF| D

11/2

Knew her job when making the ideal start to her career in a 7f maiden at Newmarket in September. Paid the price for racing keenly on testing conditions when well adrift of Jumbly over this C&D a month later, and she remains open to improvement.

Form: 16-

(12)

Nazanin²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 101| C

22/1

Debut winner here last June and raised her game on final start of 2021 when getting on top close home in the Firth of Clyde at Ayr (6f, good). That wasn't a strong race by usual Group 3 standards, but she promises to be suited by this trip and is certainly not without each-way hope.

Form: 1481-

(7)

Shaara¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: J & T Gosden

15/2

Seemingly the stable third-string ahead of her debut in a 1m Yarmouth novice in October, but she won that 16-runner contest in the manner of a filly with a bright future. Couldn't be in better hands and she's an intriguing candidate.

Form: 1-

(5)

Symphony Perfect¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 100

16/1

Consistent 2-y-o campaign ended on a high, with a decisive success in a listed race at Newmarket (6f, good) in October. This trip should be within range and no surprise whatsoever if she's on the premises, but a few of these seemingly possess greater potential.

Form: 845331-

(9)

Wild Beauty¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 111| CD

3/1

Quickly made up into a useful filly last season, the highlight of which was her Grade 1 success in Canada. By no means disgraced in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) on final start of that campaign and she's one of the likelier winners.

Form: 112215-

Forecasts

Jumbly (11/4), Wild Beauty (3/1), Miss Carol Ann (11/2), Shaara (15/2), Majestic Glory (14/1), Barbanera (16/1), Symphony Perfect (16/1), Eve Lodge (22/1), Nazanin (22/1), Heat Of The Moment (33/1), Benefit (33/1), Adelaise (33/1)

Only four of the 12 declared runners hold an entry in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket, JUMBLY and Wild Beauty among them. The latter was broadly progressive as a juvenile and is greatly respected but preference is for Jumbly, who was impressive in a C&D listed race when last seen and arguably possesses greater scope for improvement than the Godolphin filly. Shaara and Heat of The Moment both made winning debuts on the same Yarmouth card in October and are intriguing candidates.
