Beautiful Aisling²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Egan| T: S & E Crisford| BF

50/1

Havana Gold filly who has found only one too good both starts to date, looking totally unsuited by the track at Chelmsford (5f) last time. Return to a straight course will suit but a fair chunk of improvement required stepping up to 6f.

Form: 22

Beautiful Eyes³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

28/1

Made a winning debut at Ayr (5f, good) and took a sizeable step forward when defying a penalty at Kempton, proving way too speedy for her rivals. Ran creditably in York listed event since but had no excuses.

Form: 114

Cathy Come Home³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke

11/1

Expert Eye filly who made a winning start in taking fashion in 6-runner maiden at Musselburgh (5f, good) 39 days ago, despite being slowly away. Bred to stay 6f and seems sure to progress.

Form: 1

(18)

Double O¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: D Loughnane| D

100/1

Made the most of her experience to get off the mark in 6f maiden at Pontefract (good) 11 days ago but is firmly up against it now hiked in grade.

Form: 231

Elvenia²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: K A Ryan

50/1

Dark Angel filly who is bred to be useful and made a winning start in 5-runner event at Newcastle (5f) 24 days ago, well on top finish. Better to come, so worth a look up in grade.

Form: 1

(17)

Fully Wet²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| D

6/1

Kodiac filly who looked a good prospect when landing a 10-runner maiden at Goodwood (6f) on debut 27 days ago. Sure to go on to better things.

Form: 1

(2)

Ibiza Love¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: H Palmer

40/1

Left debut form well behind when making all in 9-runner maiden at Doncaster (6.5f, good to firm) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Looks vulnerable now upped up in grade, though.

Form: 31

(1)

Ivory Madonna²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Spencer

66/1

An expensive purchase at the breeze-ups who made a promising start to her career when 2¾ lengths third of 10 to Fully Wet in 6f maiden at Goodwood (good) 27 days ago, not quicken inside final 1f. Sure to improve but this is a big ask on only her second start.

Form: 3

(3)

Lady Bullet²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| D

20/1

Has a useful sprinting pedigree and knew enough to make a winning start at Doncaster (5f) in April. Put that experience to good use to follow up at Ripon but needs more at this level.

Form: 11

(13)

Land Of Summer³⁰

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

150/1

Cheap purchase who got the hang of things sufficiently enough late on to make a winning start at Brighton (5.2f) in late April. Ran to a similar level in defeat under a penalty at Kempton but others more persuasive now upped in grade.

Form: 12

(7)

Mawj³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: S bin Suroor| D

2/1

Exceed And Excel filly who looked a good prospect when making a sparkling winning debut at Newmarket (6f) 34 days ago, storming clear. Open to plenty of improvement, so highly respected up in trip.

Form: 1

(4)

Meditate³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| D

5/2

No Nay Never filly who showed a willing attitude to make a successful debut at the Curragh in April and built on that with a useful performance when following up in Group 3 at Naas (5.9f) 33 days ago. Will go on improving and has leading claims.

Form: 11

(5)

Miss Mai Tai²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Sean Davis| T: R M H Cowell

200/1

Maiden steadily going the right way but will surely be outclassed here.

Form: 665

Queen Olly³⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane| D

8/1

€300,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly who looked potentially useful when scoring on debut at York (6f) 36 days ago, well on top finish. Sure to improve.

Form: 1

(12)

She's Hot⁷⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: P & O Cole| BF

40/1

Sioux Nation filly who produced a promising first effort when second in a 5f Kempton novice back in March. That form is only ordinary, but she's bred to be suited by this step up to 6f and can improve.

Form: 2

(8)

Sydneyarms Chelsea¹⁷

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

25/1

Sioux Nation filly who overcame greenness to make a winning debut in 11-runner maiden at Newbury (6.5f, good to soft) 17 days ago, pushed out. Will improve.

Forecasts

Mawj (2/1), Meditate (5/2), Fully Wet (6/1), Queen Olly (8/1), Cathy Come Home (11/1), Powerdress (16/1), Believing (16/1), Lady Bullet (20/1), Sydneyarms Chelsea (25/1), Beautiful Eyes (28/1), She's Hot (40/1), Ibiza Love (40/1), Elvenia (50/1), Beautiful Aisling (50/1), Ivory Madonna (66/1), Double O (100/1), Land Of Summer (150/1), Miss Mai Tai (200/1)

MEDITATE put up a useful performance to maintain her unbeaten record in a Group 3 at Naas last month and, with that form having a solid look to it, she must be considered the one to beat, especially with further improvement on the cards. Mawj looks the most interesting in opposition having made a sparking winning debut at Newmarket, while Queen Olly and Fully Wet are others to note.
