Whispering Words⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| D

1/1

Promising individual. 1 win from 1 run this year. Won 10-runner minor event (11/10) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 49 days ago. Shade more needed here under a penalty but this well-bred filly remains open to improvement.

Form: 5-1

(9)

Frieze Frame¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Scudamore

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 80/1) 13 days ago, having run of race. Will be of greater interest in handicaps later on.

Form: 03

(5)

Carat Gold

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: D Shaw

200/1

€40,000 yearling, Galileo Gold filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1m-1¼m winner Sefri and 9f winner Nawarat. Dam unraced. Not devoid of appeal pedigree-wise but yard rarely strikes with newcomers.

Form:

Cathaya^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M Murphy & M Keady

200/1

4,000 gns 2-y-o, Ulysses filly. Dam, 2-y-o 6f-7f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 1¼m Lahaleeb. Hooded for this debut and probably best watched this time, unless the market suggests otherwise.

Ice Cream Castles⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: H Main

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in minor event at Salisbury (7f, soft, 14/1) 69 days ago. Another who may find better opportunities when venturing down the handicap route.

Form: 69

(10)

Mountain Flower¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C Hills

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at this C&D 16 days ago. Can be given another chance to build on the promise of her debut display at Doncaster.

Form: 40

(4)

Optimal Sinn⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Madgwick

250/1

Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixth of 11 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) 53 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over.

Form: 56

(3)

Summer Of Love

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: S bin Suroor

3/1

Dark Angel filly. Half-sister to smart 1m winner Al Nefud and useful 1¼m winner Aldous Huxley. Dam, 1¼m/10.3f winner, half-sister to smart 6f-1m winner White Moonstone. Not short of appeal on paper and she's very much one to note in the betting.

Velvet Crush^p1²²

10/1

Twice-raced maiden. 2/1, fifth of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford City (8f) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Yard saddles a stronger candidate in Venus Rosewater.

Form: 35

9/4

Forecasts

Whispering Words (1/1), Venus Rosewater (9/4), Summer Of Love (3/1), Velvet Crush (10/1), Mountain Flower (80/1), Frieze Frame (150/1), Ice Cream Castles (150/1), Cathaya (200/1), Carat Gold (200/1), Optimal Sinn (250/1)

VENUS ROSEWATER was sixth in the Newmarket novice won by the re-opposing Whispering Words last month, but she has evidently improved since and is taken to open her account at the fourth time of asking. That said, Whispering Words still has potential and is greatly respected, despite the penalty, while Summer of Love, also owned by Godolphin, ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and needs close attention in the betting.
