Opera Forever^h1²²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

28/1

Much improved from her debut when winning 7-runner minor event at Newbury (1m, heavy, 9/4) in October. Hood now on 1st time and she can progress further as she goes up in distance.

Form: 81-

Queen Of Fairies³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 87| BF

9/2

Looked good prospect when winning at Southwell on debut. After 5 months off, only 13¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Running Lion in listed race at Newmarket (10f, soft, 11/4) 32 days ago. Remains with potential.

Form: 1-5

Awesome Georgie⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne| T: W Stone

33/1

Still in need of experience when sixth of 16 in maiden at Newmarket (1m, good to soft, 40/1) 50 days ago. Needs to find more over this longer distance.

Form: 26

(12)

Cherry²⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

5/1

From an excellent family and made a promising start amidst greenness when third of 11 in minor event at Haydock (1m, good, 9/2) in September. Merits consideration with improvement to come upped in trip.

Form: 3-

Cracked Up^h³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: C Fellowes

100/1

Hooded for debut, went with little fluency when sixth of 7 in minor event at Wetherby (10f, good to soft, 33/1) 39 days ago. Looks one for the longer term.

Form: 6

(13)

Flammable¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cieren Fallon| T: A Watson

150/1

Wasn't seen to best effect when last of 6 in maiden at Haydock (10.2f, good, 14/1) on debut 14 days ago, stumbling over 2f out. Should know more this time around.

Form: 6

(1)

Ginza¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

16/1

Shaped with encouragement first time up when third of 6 in maiden at Haydock (10.2f, good, 11/2) 14 days ago. Open to improvement with her first run behind her.

Form: 3

Long Ago²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute

18/1

Never landed a blow when ninth of 14 in minor event (22/1) at Kempton (1m) in November. Up in trip on her return from 6 months off. Should do better in time.

Form: 9-

(15)

Mantoog²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Dane O'Neill| T: Owen Burrows| BF

15/2

After 6 months off, again shaped well when second of 11 in minor event at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 11/8) 21 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 2-2

(5)

Mistressofillusion²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

40/1

Some encouragement when seventh of 14 in minor event (40/1) at Kempton (1m) on debut in November. Can step forward from that effort upped to 10f on her reappearance.

Form: 7-

(6)

Onemore Twomore²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A J Farragher| T: P J McBride

250/1

Offered little making her first start when eighth of 9 in maiden at Beverley (8.4f, good, 150/1) 23 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Form: 8

(3)

Quiet Sea^h1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton

22/1

Showed plenty behind a good prospect when second of 5 in maiden at Ascot (10f, soft, 11/1) on debut 27 days ago. Can build on her first experience with hood now applied.

Form: 2

(14)

Red Danielle¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| BF

6/5

Shaped very well on debut when second of 10 in minor event at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm, 11/8) 12 days ago, clear of rest. Can go one better with scope for plenty of improvement.

Form: 2

(7)

Spiced Rum

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: R Menzies

125/1

Seahenge filly. Half-sister to winner abroad by Evasive's First. Dam, French 2-y-o 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 9f Musetta. Tough ask on debut.

(11)

Trussst In Me³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore

150/1

Very green when last of 7 in maiden at Goodwood (1m, heavy, 17/2) on debut 33 days ago, missing break. Needs to have learnt plenty from her first outing.

Form: 7

Forecasts

Red Danielle (6/5), Queen Of Fairies (9/2), Cherry (5/1), Mantoog (15/2), Ginza (16/1), Long Ago (18/1), Quiet Sea (22/1), Opera Forever (28/1), Awesome Georgie (33/1), Mistressofillusion (40/1), Cracked Up (100/1), Spiced Rum (125/1), Flammable (150/1), Trussst In Me (150/1), Onemore Twomore (250/1)

Entered in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot, RED DANIELLE shaped very encouragingly when runner-up at Goodwood 12 days ago and, with plenty of improvement to come, she can get off the mark at the second attempt. Heading the list of dangers is Queen of Fairies who is worth another chance to build on her debut success, with Cherry and Opera Forever others who merit consideration.
