9/1

€28,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to Minirose and Rose Storia. Dam unraced half-sister to (17f-21f hurdle/chase winner in France) Speed Rose. Others appeal more on this occasion.

Form:

Crazy Mary

7/1

Blue Bresil mare. Dam, fair maiden hurdler (stayed 2½m). Worth a market check on her debut.

Form:

12/1

Presenting mare. Sister to a point winner and half-sister to fair chaser Stockburn and fairly useful chaser Coeur Joyeux, stays 25f. Betting can prove a good indicator.

Form:

Lily Grace

Age: 5| Weight: 11-1| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams

11/8

Blue Bresil mare. Dam, showed little in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (stayed 3m) Yalltari. Merits serious consideration on debut for yard among the winners.

Form:

Passing Kate

5/1

Passing Glance mare. Dam, fairly useful 2½m-23f hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 3¼m) Silver Kate. No forlorn hope on her first run.

Forecasts

Lily Grace (11/8), The Cox Express (10/3), Rascal (7/2), Passing Kate (5/1), Crazy Mary (7/1), Yonconor (9/1), Grangeclare North (12/1)

The market should reveal plenty with no form to go on but LILY GRACE hails from a yard well among the winners so she's taken to make a successful start. Tom Lacey's The Cox Express catches the eye on paper and is next on the list ahead of Rascal and Crazy Mary.
