11/1

Fair filly. 11/2, good second of 7 in minor event at Wetherby (10f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Remains a maiden after 7 runs, though.

Form: 3222-32

Chealamy²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 78

7/1

Largely progressive type who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when ninth of 12 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, soft) 25 days ago. Remains with potential, especially now stepping up in trip. Player back in maiden company.

Form: 844-29

14/1

Almanzor filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 10.5f Cheshire Academy. Dam, winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7.5f winner), sister to smart 6f-9f winner Brownie. One to note on debut.

Ginza

11/2

Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to 1½m winner Soala and 9f winner Attasha. Dam, 1½m/12.5f winner, sister to useful winner up to 1¼m (stayed 13f) Robin Hood. Very much one to consider on her first run.

CHEALAMY wasn't seen to best effect when ninth in a Musselburgh handicap last time and had been on the up prior to that so is worth siding with back in maiden company with this step up to 1m2f a plus too. There are some interesting newcomers lurking however with Ginza and Flammable looking the pick and well worth considering, especially if the market vibes are positive.
