C&D debut winner in December and bettered that form when collared late on by Newsreader (who received 7 lb) back here. Capable of better again and bold show likely.
|
Strong at the finish when seeing off the reopposing Lessay by ½ length over C&D 32 days ago. Likely capable of better again but he is 5 lb worse off with Andrew Balding's charge this time.
|
€165,000 2-y-o by No Nay Never. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to high-class winner up to 1½m (including British/Irish Champion Stakes) Magical and Fillies' Mile/Lockinge Stakes winner Rhododendron. This newcomer makes obvious paper appeal.
|
Highly promising individual. 8/1, fifth of 12 in 6f course novice on debut 84 days ago, finishing well after a very slow start left him in rear. Open to significant progress.
|
€20,000 2-y-o by Bungle Inthejungle. Half-brother to several winners, including useful winner up to 1½m Speed Company and winner up to 1½m Magna Moralia. Dam 1¼m winner. Hollie Doyle up for debut. The betting should guide.
|
Has shown ability but looks more one for handicaps. Hooded first time on his first outing since being gelded.
|
More one for the longer term judged on his 2 efforts over C&D this winter.
|
Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on first time, fifth of 9 in maiden at this course (6f, 15/2) 32 days ago. Has had wind surgery.
|
Twice-raced maiden. 125/1 and blinkered first time, eighth of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford (7f) 25 days ago. Outsider.
|
Waldgeist filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 6f-7f winner Angel Amadea and 7.6f winner Deacs Delight. Watching brief is the percentage call on debut.
|
Twice-raced maiden. Modest form when fourth of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (7f) 22 days ago. In good hands but more will be needed.
|
Showcasing filly. Half-sister to smart winner up to 8.6f Positive and useful 2-y-o 7f winner Karsavina. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Zonderland. Newcomer to note in the betting.
|
Twice-raced maiden. 300/1, last of 10 in novice at Lingfield (1m) 63 days ago.

Forecasts
Lessay (5/4), Not Afraid (11/4), Never Better (5/1), Newsreader (11/2), Thunder Flow (14/1), Spirit Of The Rose (25/1), Miss Oxford (40/1), Ormering Tide (66/1), Road To Wembley (80/1), Sold The Dream (150/1), Stacey Racey (250/1), Glad Hope (250/1), Amarilla Girl (300/1)
LESSAY meets Newsreader on 5 lb better terms than when beaten a ½ length by him over C&D last month and is taken to turn the tables. Well-bred newcomer Never Better could pose a big threat to that pair if the betting suggests he's fancied, while Ralph Beckett's Not Afraid has the potential to leave the form of his 6f course debut well behind.
- Lessay5/4
- Newsreader11/2
- Never Better5/1
