Hill Cove¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: J G Portman| CD

14/1

Returned from 4-month break (left Joseph Tuite) to score in 10-runner C&D minor event 16 days ago. Entitled to progress again, but more needed in this company to defy penalty.

Form: 61

Bell Song^h1

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

28/1

Foaled February 8. Saxon Warrior filly. Dam, winner up to 6f (2-y-o 5f winner), half-sister to useful 1m-11f winner Yuri Gagarin, out of half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Best Terms. Wears hood.

Cloud Queen²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: E A L Dunlop

50/1

Once-raced maiden. Shaped as if better for run when seventh of 11 in minor event at Haydock (6f, firm) on debut 26 days ago, not knocked about. May well do better, but significant step forward required on second start.

Form: 7

(1)

Dafyre⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: J S Moore

200/1

Little promise when fourth of 6 in maiden at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 67 days ago, pushed along halfway and left behind quickly. Hard to fancy.

Form: 4

(12)

Dakota Elegance³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: B J Meehan

28/1

Bred for longer trips but made an encouraging start when fifth of 9 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good) on debut 32 days ago, seeming to know her job well. Likely to improve.

Form: 5

(6)

Diamond Vega

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

20/1

Foaled February 22. Lope De Vega filly. Dam, 5f winner (including at 2 yrs), half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Yellow Rosebud. Trainer’s newcomers command respect.

Form:

(7)

Elegant Charm²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: C Appleby

4/1

Twice-raced maiden. Showed more than on debut when fifth of 14 in minor event (11/2) at Leicester (7f, good) 22 days ago. Place claims if able to advance that form.

Form: 55

(3)

Noorah^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: C Allen

150/1

Foaled March 11. Shalaa filly. Dam, 1m winner in Qatar, half-sister to useful 1m winner Emirates Skycargo, out of unraced half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Ancient World. Wears hood. Not an obvious type on paper.

Form:

(5)

Novus⁷⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore

10/1

Promising sort. Bred for longer trips (out of Montjeu mare) and shaped in that manner when fourth of 9 in maiden at Sandown (5f, good) on debut 70 days ago, best work finish. Should progress, with step up to 6f a plus.

Form: 4

(2)

Pastiche

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: G Boughey

6/1

Foaled February 16. 105,000 gns yearling, Zoustar filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner El Salvaje. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f winner), closely related to useful 10.5f-1½m winner Lucky Bridle. Yard/pedigree make her of some interest on debut.

Form:

Pinafore¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

4/5

Chased home a potentially useful rival when second of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 13 days ago. Should have even more to offer and will take the beating.

Form: 92

(11)

Por Ti Volare¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carson| T: B Barr

300/1

Well held at long odds both starts to date.

Form: 00

Forecasts

Pinafore (4/5), Elegant Charm (4/1), Pastiche (6/1), Novus (10/1), Hill Cove (14/1), Diamond Vega (20/1), Dakota Elegance (28/1), Bell Song (28/1), Cloud Queen (50/1), Noorah (150/1), Dafyre (200/1), Por Ti Volare (300/1)

PINAFORE shaped very well when runner-up at Yarmouth last time and is expected to take all the beating here, with further improvement expected. Novus and Dakota Elegance are others anticipated to step forward, and may well pose a bigger threat than C&D winner Hill Cove.
