Sea Tsarina¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| D

2/7

Made plenty of appeal on paper and won 6-runner maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on debut 15 days ago, readily. Likely to build on that and can defy a penalty.

Form: 1

Asraabb³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| BF

7/1

Useful pedigree and shaped quite well on debut at Lingfield. Failed to meet expectations when fifth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 35 days ago, though was denied a clear run.

Form: 55

Midnight Moll

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker

11/1

210,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 9f Summer Romance and winner up to 1m Rizeena, by Iffraaj), both smart. Lot to like on paper.

Bred to be useful and having been hooded, she displayed ability when sixth of 13 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) on debut. Off 8 months but in good hands.

Sea Tsarina (2/7), Asraabb (7/1), Next Chapter (9/1), Midnight Moll (11/1), Risk Averse (25/1)

SEA TSARINA was pretty impressive once she got the hang of things when winning on debut at Yarmouth a fortnight ago, by no means fully extended, and with more to come, she can successfully defy a penalty. Asraabb didn't get the rub of the green at Wolverhampton and remains open to progress, with Midnight Moll a newcomer worthy of consideration.
