Cloudbreaker²¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Fellowes

8/1

Twice-raced winner. Won 7-runner minor event at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 4/1) when last seen, well on top finish. Off 7 months but this step up in trip promises to suit and she's open to improvement.

Form: 51-

Bend The Light³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: S Kirk

300/1

Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (11f) 33 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 0-5

Brightly⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| BF

4/1

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 7 in minor event (6/4) at Southwell (8.1f) 62 days ago, no match for winner. Should have more to offer. Yard also saddles Free Lovin'.

Form: 42-

Crack Of Light

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

13/2

Kingman filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 8.3f winner Cet Horizon. Represents a leading yard and it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour.

Eternal Hope

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: C Appleby

11/2

Teofilo filly. Dam, 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Rio de La Plata. Very much a likely-looking type and it will be interesting to see how she fares in the betting, particularly in relation to stablemate Mountain Song.

Mountain Song¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: C Appleby

5/6

Promising sort. 3/1, second of 10 in minor event at this C&D on debut 17 days ago. Likely to progress and obvious chance of going one better this time.

Form: 2

Tulekya³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Saffie Osborne| T: K P De Foy

66/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 14/1) 30 days ago. Appeals as the type to do better when going down the handicap route.

Form: 9-3

Forecasts

Mountain Song (5/6), Brightly (4/1), Eternal Hope (11/2), Crack Of Light (13/2), Cloudbreaker (8/1), Free Lovin' (25/1), Tulekya (66/1), Bend The Light (300/1)

The pick of several promising fillies is MOUNTAIN SONG, who was just touched off by a better-fancied stablemate on her recent debut over this C&D, in turn pulling nicely clear of the rest. She is open to plenty of improvement. Charlie Appleby also saddles an appealing newcomer in Eternal Hope and she needs close attention in the betting, along with Crack of Light. However, Brightly and Cloudbreaker, both of whom are likely to benefit from this step up on trip, rate the main dangers.
