Le Mans⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R L Moore| T: R Hannon

10/11

Promising sort who won 10-runner minor event at Newmarket (8f, good. 7/1) on her debut 47 days ago, getting up late having raced green. Sure to improve so she's a player.

Form: 1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J Ferguson| OR: 75

33/1

Fair ex-French filly who posted a good third of 7 in maiden at Angouleme (5f, firm) 16 months ago. Hood back on. Not discounted for her new yard despite her long absence.

Form: 924/003-

Al Haan⁷²

16/1

Twice-raced maiden. Twice hampered when ninth of 12 in minor event at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 12/1) 72 days ago. Should still progress so she's one to consider.

Almavillalobas

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox| T: R Woodman

250/1

Master Carpenter filly. Dam ran once out of US 2-y-o 5f winner Song of Music. Others appeal more.

Harry Angel filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Hors de Combat and useful winner up to 6.3f Stroll Patrol. Respected newcomer.

(9)

Ludmilla²³

Weight: 9-2| Age: 3

T: J & T Gosden J: R Havlin

Forecasts

Le Mans (10/11), Velvet Crush (10/3), Ludmilla (7/2), Ivory Madonna (5/1), Electric Storm (13/2), Full Regalia (7/1), Al Haan (16/1), Pulcheria (33/1), Cabaret Show (66/1), Maid For Harry (80/1), Polar Rock (125/1), Almavillalobas (250/1)

LUDMILLA rates the form pick here and looked to fail for stamina upped to 1m2f when sixth at Windsor last time out so gets the nod now reverted in distance. Le Mans rates the obvious threat despite saddling a 7 lb penalty for her debut Newmarket success. Al Haan has more to offer and is another to consider in an open novice along with newcomers Electric Storm and Velvet Crush.
