(3)

Claretina²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: O McSweeney⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| D

4/1

Twice-raced winner. Showed good speed on debut and improved to win 14-runner minor event at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 21 days ago. Should improve further but has some better rivals to contend with now.

Form: 31

(1)

Liberation Bay¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 75| D

4/1

Improved across each of her 3 starts, most recently winning 9-runner minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good) 10 days ago. Further progress not ruled out.

Form: 831

(7)

Crikey Juicey

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁵⁾| T: P & J Clutterbuck

15/2

Foaled March 19. €7,000 2-y-o, Tasleet filly. Dam winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f/6f winner). Bred to speedy but cost little and yard not renowned for debut winners.

Desert Silk¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

28/1

Once-raced maiden. 20/1, very green but did hint at some ability when seventh of 9 in minor event at Redcar (6f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago. Needs significant improvement.

Form: 7

(9)

Greenroad²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison| OR: 60

15/2

Ran creditably when second of 15 in seller at York (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 24 days ago but already has more miles on the clock than most here and it's harder to see her finding major improvement.

Form: 2432

(2)

Greycious Anna

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

6/1

Foaled March 5. 8,000 gns yearling, Havana Grey filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Sweet Anna and 7f winner Dragon's Fire. Dam 1m winner. Represents good yard for juveniles.

Love Fifteen²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Sexton⁽⁵⁾| T: A Keatley

25/1

Once-raced maiden. 10/1, never a threat when eighth of 15 in seller at York (6f, good to firm) on debut 24 days ago. Can't be fancied on that evidence.

Form: 8

(6)

Made Of Lir²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: A Watson

12/1

Twice-raced maiden. 17/2, did too much too soon when fifth of 7 in maiden at Brighton (6f, soft) 27 days ago but showed speed and looks open to progress.

Form: 65

(11)

Miss Mai Tai¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Barry McHugh| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 76

4/1

Steady improvement in minor events, though was well out of depth when thirteenth of 16 to Meditate in Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. One to beat back in this company.

Form: 6650

(8)

Sweet Fortune¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke

33/1

Once-raced maiden. Pedigree suggest she's one for the longer-term and shaped that way when last of 9 in minor event at Pontefract (6f, good) on debut 15 days ago.

Form: 9

(5)

Techno Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey

25/1

Foaled March 11. £10,000 yearling, Camacho filly. Closely related to 1m winner Bearberry and half-sister to 9.5f/1¼m winner Dubai Emperor. One of the more interesting debutants on paper.

Forecasts

Miss Mai Tai (4/1), Liberation Bay (4/1), Claretina (4/1), Greycious Anna (6/1), Greenroad (15/2), Crikey Juicey (15/2), Made Of Lir (12/1), Love Fifteen (25/1), Techno Lady (25/1), Desert Silk (28/1), Sweet Fortune (33/1)

MISS MAI TAI was flying too high at Royal Ascot last time but showed steady progress prior to that and can get off the mark here. Previous-winners Claretina and Liberation Bay look the obvious threats.
