Bumper winner in 2020 and offered something to work on when runner-up on belated debut in this sphere at Kempton (1½m), albeit she was beaten 16 lengths by the winner. Sizeable step forward needed here.
|
Modest form in a couple of bumpers and similar story starting out on the Flat at Bath (11.6f, good to firm). Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.
|
Showed only greenness when down the field in 1m Doncaster maiden (soft) on sole 2-y-o start. This trip will be more suitable judged on pedigree, but she's likely to need more time.
|
Frankel filly who appeared to find 1m too sharp on debut at Ascot in April, but shaped well all the same. Duly improved upped to 1¼m when second in Goodwood listed race and, likely to appreciate this further increase in trip, she'll prove hard to beat.
|
Good pedigree and positives to glean from her recent introduction at Salisbury (1¼m, good) where she looked in need of the experience. Will be more street-wise this time and this step up in trip should serve her well.
|
Has performed to a similar level in maidens over 1¼m here and at Ascot, leaving the impression that there's better to come, particularly now faced with a stiffer test. Each-way claims.
|
400,000 gns Sea The Stars filly who showed plenty of promise when placed both starts as a juvenile at around 1m. Improvement should be forthcoming now tackling a trip more in-keeping with her pedigree.
|
Sent off at 33/1 and finished nearer last than first on recent debut in 13-runner Goodwood novice (1¼m, good to soft). Another who will probably be seen in a better light when handicapping later on.
|
Beaten a long way when third on her introduction at Kempton earlier this month (around 2½ lengths adrift of Maridadi) and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.
|
Chased home exciting stablemate Nashwa on debut at Haydock, and again found only a fellow inmate of the Gosden yard too strong in an Ascot maiden (1¼m, good) earlier this month (Perfect Alibi 3½ lengths adrift in fourth). Remains open to improvement.

Forecasts
Eternal Pearl (5/6), Wonderful Times (2/1), Perfect Alibi (6/1), River Of Stars (10/1), Graph (22/1), Maridadi (80/1), Candy Shack (125/1), Tunkwa Lake (150/1), Sainte Colette (150/1), Zyra's Lioness (200/1)
It's difficult to look beyond ETERNAL PEARL, who is bred to be smart and appears very much on course to live up to the billing of her pedigree. Indeed, she went close in listed company at Goodwood recently on just her second career start and this step up in trip can help unlock further improvement. Wonderful Times is also likely to improve for the step up to 1½m and she is clear second choice ahead of Perfect Alibi, who was behind the Gosden filly at Ascot last time, and River of Stars.
