16/1

Time Test filly. Dam unraced out of half-sister to Great Voltigeur Stakes winner Centennial. 80/1, sixth of 10 in fillies' novice at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut 11 days ago, shaping well. Should progress, not least when upped in trip.

Helga Brandt

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke

10/3

Foaled January 30. 65,000 gns yearling, Mehmas filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1¼m), half-sister to 2-y-o 6f/7f winner (stayed 1¼m) Bunker and 2-y-o 7f winner Imperial Fighter (both smart). Likely type on paper and a market move would be interesting.

Neverstopdreaming¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: James Horton

6/4

€220,000 yearling, No Nay Never filly. Dam, 8.4f winner, sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Winter (including 1000 Guineas) out of smart 6f/7f winner Laddies Poker Two. 13/2, fourth of 7 in maiden at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut 16 days ago. More to come.

80/1

Pastoral Pursuits filly. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner. 16/1, last of 7 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, heavy) on debut 51 days ago. Bred more for stamina than speed and likely to need more time.

Form: 7

(9)

Say Hello¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett

7/1

Promising start at Sandown (5f) although that form hasn't worked out and she was disappointing at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 14 days ago.

Soveraine

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston

9/2

Foaled May 13. €42,000 yearling, Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 6f K Club and winner up to 6f Back To Brussels, both useful. Dam maiden (stayed 7f). Appealing page and yard usually target this.

Forecasts

Neverstopdreaming (6/4), Helga Brandt (10/3), Nariko (4/1), Soveraine (9/2), Say Hello (7/1), Alnoory Star (8/1), Fast Love (16/1), Calafrio (50/1), Oceanic Wonder (80/1)

NARIKO was one of the top lots at the Craven Breeze-Ups, fetching a whopping 600,000 guineas, and it would be no surprise to see her make a winning start. The betting will be informative, of course, with Helga Brandt and Soveraine a couple more interesting local newcomers. €220,000 yearling Neverstopdreaming made a promising start at Goodwood and should improve.
