Infinite Cosmos¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute

8/11

Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to useful 9.5f winner Traila. Dam, 1¼m-1½m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to dam of top-class performer up to 1½m Crystal Ocean. Only just denied by a smart prospect in a Doncaster maiden (1m, heavy) in October. Open to significant improvement.

Form: 2-

Nakano¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer

33/1

Saxon Warrior filly who ran to a fair level when finishing midfield in pair of novice events on turf/AW at up to 8.6f late last year. Step up in trip rates a likely plus on return but this looks a warm enough race and handicaps may be more her bag.

Form: 45-

Rayena^t1,v1¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Louis Steward| T: P Owens

150/1

Harry Angel filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f winner (stayed 1m) Rehana. Showed only greenness when last of 7 in a Chelmsford novice (7f) on debut in November. This should reveal more with visor/tongue tie fitted.

Form: 7-

Rouen²²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Sir Michael Stoute

33/1

Makes appeal on paper but she ran green and ultimately went with little encouragement when tenth in 12-runner maiden here (7f) back in September. This promises to reveal more on return but yard hold much more compelling claims in the shape of Infinite Cosmos.

Sahara Mist²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| BF

3/1

Deep Impact filly who shaped with bags of encouragement when second on debut in a Newcastle maiden (10f) 3 weeks ago, noted keeping on well under hands-and-heels riding. Represents leading stable and she's the type to take a significant step forward.

Strong Impact¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

13/2

Saxon Warrior filly. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 7f-1m winner Velorum. 14/1, showed promise when running on for hands-and-heels riding when fifth in 14-runner Kempton novice (1m) back in November and she's open to improvement on return/stepping up in trip.

Form: 5-

Therapist²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| BF

9/2

Placed all 3 starts in novices last season, close second at Windsor (1m) on final start having seemingly gone for home sooner than ideal. Open to further progress now embarking on 3-y-o campaign tackling this longer trip.

Who Loves You Baby¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan

200/1

Cheap purchase who offered little promise on debut in a 1m maiden here 16 days ago. Can only be watched.

Forecasts

Infinite Cosmos (8/11), Sahara Mist (3/1), Therapist (9/2), Strong Impact (13/2), Star Of Cassandra (7/1), Nakano (33/1), Rouen (33/1), Rayena (150/1), Who Loves You Baby (200/1)

INFINITE COSMOS shaped with abundant promise when runner-up behind one who has subsequently placed at Group level in a Doncaster maiden back in October, finishing strongly. Open to significant improvement, she can take this on her way to better things. Sahara Mist is another who displayed plenty of ability on her respective debut at Newcastle recently and can also take a sizeable step forward. Therapist can emerge best of the remainder.
