(1)

Aljadel⁴⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes

22/1

Twice-raced filly. 11/1, last of 7 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good) 48 days ago, slowly away. Improvement needed on debut for new yard.

Form: 97

(7)

Belle Flora¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Coakley| T: Tom Clover

11/1

Twice-raced filly. 4/1 and hooded for 1st time, last of 9 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Worth another chance given the promise she showed on debut at Newbury.

Form: 49

(6)

Briar Rose¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: E A L Dunlop

6/4

Promising individual. Fifth of 12 in minor event (20/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago. Will be more street-wise this time and she's a big player.

Form: 5

(3)

Jazzy Angel

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace

9/2

Foaled March 30. Harry Angel filly. Dam useful French 9.5f winner. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

Queen's Music

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Channon

3/1

Price rose to €25,000 when resold as a 2-y-o. Half-sister to several winners, including 13f winner Rattle And Hum and 6f-7.6f winner Comanchero, while her dam was a 2-y-o 6f winner. Confidence behind her in the betting would look significant.

Form:

(10)

Queen Of Africa¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: J Butler

80/1

Once-raced filly. 50/1, ninth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 16 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 9

(8)

Alwedad

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: Alice Haynes

10/1

First foal out of a dam who was lightly raced in UAE/US, herself a half-sister to useful 1m winner Runup. Yard operates at a healthy strike rate with 2-y-os and the market should be revealing where this filly is concerned.

Form:

(9)

Blenheim Star^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jefferson Smith| T: W J Knight

28/1

Foaled March 6. 14,000 gns yearling, Churchill filly. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Raaeq. Wears hood. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run but she's worth a peek in the betting.

Form:

(11)

Majolica¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: A M Balding

16/1

Once-raced filly. 12/1, ninth of 10 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 16 days ago. In good hands and will probably leave that form behind in time but others make more appeal here all the same.

Form: 9

(2)

Mrs Nell¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: T E Whelan| T: J G Portman

125/1

Once-raced filly. Last of 11 in maiden (11/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 16 days ago, missing break. Hard to warm to on the back of that display.

Form: 0

Forecasts

Briar Rose (6/4), Queen's Music (3/1), Jazzy Angel (9/2), Gregorina (8/1), Alwedad (10/1), Belle Flora (11/1), Majolica (16/1), Aljadel (22/1), Blenheim Star (28/1), Queen Of Africa (80/1), Mrs Nell (125/1)

While a couple of these have already shown a fair level of ability, QUEEN'S MUSIC certainly wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning debut. Armed with a good pedigree and Oisin Murphy in the hot-seat, the hint should be taken if the market speaks in her favour. Of those with experience, Briar Rose, who shaped with promise on her recent introduction at Windsor, is feared most ahead of Belle Flora. Alwedad and Jazzy Angel both need a second look in the betting.
