10/3

Thrice-raced winner. Successful at Brighton in July. 6/1, third of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) 35 days ago. Up in trip and she's a live each-way candidate.

Form: 193

Expected Arrival⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: K P De Foy

6/1

Promising type. 28/1, fifth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 45 days ago, left poorly placed. Up in trip and she's open to improvement.

Form: 5

La Fleur Petrus

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: C Johnston

20/1

Foaled April 30. Street Boss filly. Dam, winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner), half-sister to useful 10.5f winner Hug And A Kiss. Stablemate of The African Queen and the market should be instructive.

Organic

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: G Boughey

9/2

Foaled February 14. €48,000 yearling, Land Force filly. Dam, runner-up at 1¼m, half-sister to 9f-1½m winner Antinori and 2-y-o 5f-1m winner Pure Excellence (both useful). Noteworthy newcomer and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Forecasts

Bigtime Bridget (13/8), The African Queen (10/3), Organic (9/2), Expected Arrival (6/1), Springbecamesummer (13/2), Kingmont (8/1), La Fleur Petrus (20/1), Pegasus Of Harry (20/1), Where Is The Love (50/1), Spirit Charmer (100/1), Quick Away (150/1), Potters Diamond (200/1)

Having shaped well when fifth in a potentially useful Kempton novice, EXPECTED ARRIVAL could be the answer with improvement likely now faced with a slightly stiffer test. Next on the list is well-bred newcomer Springbecamesummer, who is marginally second choice ahead of stablemate Bigtime Bridget, a winner over this C&D on her third start last month. The African Queen and Kingmont are others to consider.
