Alseyoob²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: I Mohammed| OR: 83

9/2

Lope De Vega filly who made a winning start under a well-judged front-running ride in 6-runner 7f Newmarket maiden but failed by a long way to repeat that form in Sweet Solera Stakes there next time. Back in calmer waters today and should get back on track.

Form: 17

Barrier¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

12/1

Australia filly who showed only greenness when finishing down the field on debut at Kempton last month, never featuring after very slowly away. Should do better in time but tough to recommend based on that initial effort.

Form: 7

Dee See Are⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: K R Burke

40/1

Little to shout about in minor event/maiden so far and handicaps down the line is probably where she will come into her own.

Form: 85

Divya

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

14/1

Foaled April 4. Galileo filly. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 12.4f-1¾m winner Surya out of British/Irish Oaks winner Sariska. Betting should guide.

Dowally¹⁷

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

15/8

Highland Reel filly who made a promising start to her career when runner-up in novice at Kempton (8f) on debut 17 days ago, rallying when headed final 1f. Sure to progress so she's high on the shortlist.

Form: 2

Purple Love¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

10/1

Wootton Bassett filly who was by far the best-backed newcomer but failed badly to meet expectations when eighth in a Newbury maiden a fortnight ago. Significantly upped in trip today and she's surely capable of better.

Form: 8

(5)

Red Riding Hood

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

2/1

Foaled March 5. Justify filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Monday and 2-y-o 6f winner Leinster House, both useful. Dam, 2-y-o 7f/1m winner (second in 1000 Guineas), sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Misty For Me. Very interesting debutante on these shores.

Forecasts

Dowally (15/8), Red Riding Hood (2/1), Alseyoob (9/2), Scenic (8/1), Purple Love (10/1), Barrier (12/1), Divya (14/1), Dee See Are (40/1)

DOWALLY came within a neck of making a winning debut at Kempton and with improvement on the cards, she's fancied to go a place better and open her account switched to the turf. Alseyoob heads up the dangers of those with racecourse experience but Aidan O'Brien unleashes Red Riding Hood who may well emerge as the main danger.
