Darnation²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

13/8

Too Darn Hot filly from the family of Blue Bunting. Easy to back but showed plenty to work on when third of 7 in minor event at Haydock (7f, firm, 15/2) on debut 21 days ago. May well do better still.

Form: 3

20/1

Foaled February 16. Study of Man filly. Half-sister to smart 8.5f-1¼m winner Le Don de Vie and useful 1½m winner Law of The Sea. Bred to be useful but pedigree suggests she'll improve with time.

Form:

Love You Darling^b1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: B Brookhouse

25/1

Land Force filly. Bumped into an exciting prospect when second in minor event at Leicester (7f) on debut but didn't look entirely straightforward when only fourth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time.

Form: 24

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| BF

1/1

Night of Thunder filly. Has progressed with each run so far, beaten only by an above-average newcomer when second of 8 in minor event at York (6f, good to firm, 13/8) 14 days ago. The one to beat.

Form: 722

(5)

Scarbados²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: I Furtado

66/1

Magna Grecia filly. Raced too freely when sixth of 8 in minor event at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on debut 28 days ago. More needed here.

125/1

Foaled April 6. Estidhkaar filly. Closely related to winner abroad by Alhebayeb and half-sister to 3 winners, including French 1m winner Hanabi. Dam unraced. Not an obvious debut winner on paper.

Forecasts

Nighteyes (1/1), Darnation (13/8), Cloudy Skye (11/1), Carabella (11/1), Lingua Franca (20/1), Love You Darling (25/1), Happy Helen (66/1), Scarbados (66/1), Madame Christine (80/1), White Lines (125/1), Curious Mrs Fox (250/1), Divergency (250/1)

NIGHTEYES sets a clear standard here and will take plenty of beating having bumped into a potentially smart rival at York last time. Darnation appeals as the type to step forward with her debut under her belt and merits plenty of respect alongside Carabella, with Cloudy Skye the most appealing of the newcomers.
