200/1

Showed little both starts in bumpers and similar story on first start in this sphere when fifth in 8-runner maiden at Newcastle (12.5f) 16 days ago. Low-grade handicaps entitled to be more her bag further down the line.

Form: 5

(3)

Beautifulasalways³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: G Boughey

11/2

Kingman filly. 9/1, showed plenty to work on when third of 6 in novice event at Lingfield (1m, AW) on debut 33 days ago. Up in trip. Likely to improve.

Form: 3

(7)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

5/1

Promising individual. 33/1, showed plenty of ability when third of 7 in novice event at Newcastle (1m) on debut in February, headway when denied a run over 1f out. Likely improver with that under her belt.

Form: 3

(8)

9/2

Promising sort. 22/1, first run since leaving Richard Fahey when third of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago, keeping on for hand riding inside final 1f. Likely to do better again with this longer trip expected to suit.

Form: 4-3

(4)

Lady Claypoole^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 74

13/2

Thrice-raced filly. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 16 in maiden (100/1) at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) 32 days ago. Remains the type to do better but handicaps likely to be more her bag.

Form: 48-8

(6)

Market Value²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

5/4

Bred in the purple and she took a marked step forward from her sole start as a 2-y-o when third of 7 in novice event at Haydock (1m, good to firm) 22 days ago. Possible she'll be sharper for that and big player with more to come.

Form: 6-3

(5)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe

66/1

12/1

Oasis Dream filly who showed ability before tiring late on when fourth of 7 in novice event (12/1) at Wetherby (10f, good to soft) on debut 21 days ago. Should improve.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Market Value (5/4), Jo's Rainbow (9/2), Bosc Girl (5/1), Beautifulasalways (11/2), Lady Claypoole (13/2), Rosa Chinensis (12/1), Mineko (66/1), Air Of Approval (200/1), C'mon Ellie (200/1)

MARKET VALUE makes plenty of appeal on paper and stepped up plenty on her sole start as a 2-y-o when third on return in a Haydock novice (1m) 3 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for that, she remains open to improvement and gets the nod to come out on top. There is a good deal of potential in opposition though, with Beautifulasalways and Bosc Girl heading up the dangers.
