Sea Speedwell²¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

10/3

Highly promising individual. 9/4, won 12-runner novice at Kempton (1m) last December. That bare form is nothing special but she has the potential for considerable improvement for her leading connections.

Form: 31-

Ha'an⁷⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Theodore Ladd| T: M Appleby

125/1

Last in 2 bumpers this spring so can only be watched now switching to the Flat.

Qabilah²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jefferson Smith| T: R Varian| D

5/2

All the sharper with her debut behind her when winning a 6-runner novice at Nottingham (1¼m, good) 21 days ago. Definitely more to come from her.

Form: 31

Game Master^p1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 80| BF

9/4

Fair maiden. Seemingly failed to stay 1½m when only fifth at Catterick last time and should be happier back at 1¼m. Also has cheekpieces added for the first time.

Form: 4-35

(1)

Oriole³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

3/1

18/1, shaped as if in need of experience when fourth of 13 in novice at Windsor (1¼m, good to firm) on debut 31 days ago. Should progress.

Form: 4

Game Master (9/4), Qabilah (5/2), Oriole (3/1), Sea Speedwell (10/3), Ha'an (125/1)

QABILAH quickened to the front in the manner of quite a useful filly at Nottingham and is narrowly preferred to reappearing AW winner Sea Speedwell who is a well-bred filly who surely has more to offer for the William Haggas team.
