Glam Puss²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: D & C Kubler

11/2

Offered something to work on when runner-up on debut in a Kempton novice (7f) in October and duly took a marked step forward to go one place better at Southwell (1m) 4 weeks ago. More to do conceding weight all round but she may have more to offer.

Form: 21-

Betty Fletcher¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: George Rooke| T: M Hunt

250/1

Form: 5-9

Kingston Joy¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: D M Simcock

100/1

Twice-raced maiden. 33/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 16 days ago, steadied start and never dangerous. Handicaps entitled to be more her bag moving forward.

Form: 7-7

(8)

Blaker³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: J Mackie

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, eleventh of 13 in minor event at this course (8.6f) 31 days ago. Can only be watched on what she's achieved to date.

Form: 00-

Mountain Song

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Probert| T: C Appleby

3/1

Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Echo Point and 7f-1m winner Western Writer. Dam, 2-y-o 7f/1m winner who stayed 10.5f. Noteworthy newcomer for leading stable.

Princess Angela⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: P D Evans

100/1

Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at this course (8.6f, 28/1) on debut 8 days ago, driven soon after halfway and never on terms.

Form: 5

(7)

Sapphire Seas²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Billy Loughnane⁽⁵⁾| T: C Appleby

8/11

Frankel filly who shaped with plenty of promise when fourth of 11 in novice event at Kempton (1m) on debut 23 days ago, very slowly away but making considerable ground by the finish. Entitled to have derived plenty from that and one to be interested in.

Form: 4

(3)

Too Much³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton

5/1

Promising sort. Second of 13 in novice event at Southwell (7.1f, 10/3) 38 days ago, outpaced 2f out and keeping on. Remains with potential, particularly now stamina is drawn out further.

Form: 42-

(10)

Wadacre Inca⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: F Norton| T: C Johnston

50/1

Once-raced maiden. 50/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at this C&D on debut 74 days ago, going in snatches and fading. Probably one for handicaps/over further in due course.

Form: 9-

(4)

Wood Farm Wag⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: C Lee| T: Mrs N S Evans

200/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 5 in maiden at this C&D (200/1) 9 days ago, racing freely and always behind. Can only be watched.

Form: 9-5

Forecasts

Sapphire Seas (8/11), Mountain Song (3/1), Too Much (5/1), Glam Puss (11/2), Hosana (25/1), Wadacre Inca (50/1), Kingston Joy (100/1), Princess Angela (100/1), Wood Farm Wag (200/1), Betty Fletcher (250/1), Blaker (250/1)

SAPPHIRE SEAS was very green for the most part but shaped with abundant promise by the end when fourth in an 11-runner Kempton novice on debut 23 days ago, finishing off strongly. Sure to have derived plenty from that, she gets the nod to build on that now. Stablemate Mountain Song makes appeal on paper and market confidence would look interesting. Too Much and Glam Puss complete the shortlist.
