Classical Song²¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 102

9/2

Lope de Vega filly who showed plenty of promise at 2, winning a 7f Sandown maiden before 4 lengths fourth in the Group 1 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket. Bred to be suited by 1¼m. The stable has last week's Cheshire Oaks winner Forest Fairy to compare her to so a market move would look interesting.

Francophone¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 92

16/1

Ayr novice winner last year who produced a very useful effort when making a successful start to her 3-y-o campaign in 1m Southwell handicap 17 days ago. Likely more to come from her now stepping up to 1¼m.

Form: 125-1

Friendly Soul¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 107| D

8/11

Top yard has a strong record in this and this daughter of Kingman looked potentially very smart when winning the listed Pretty Polly at Newmarket (1¼m, good) at Newmarket 10 days ago on only her second start. Hard to beat with further progress likely.

Form: 1-1

La Pasionaria¹⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 81

33/1

Made a winning debut in a 1m Salisbury novice in the mud last October but well held in 1m Newmarket listed race on her other 2-y-o start. Jockey bookings point to Classical Song being the yard first string but the betting should provide more clues.

Form: 18-

Mayfair^t³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien| OR: 87| BF

4/1

Fairly useful form when runner-up in 7f maidens at the Curragh (heavy) and Dundalk (AW) this spring. Plenty more needed in this higher grade but no surprise were she to find it now stepping up to a trip which is bred to suit.

Form: 4-22

(2)

Secret Satire¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 85

22/1

Won a 1m Lingfield (AW) novice last backend and good effort a penalty when third in a warm-looking Sandown novice (1¼m, good to soft) on reappearance 19 days ago. Likely capable of better again.

Form: 61-3

Sinology²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: D M Simcock| D

33/1

Left last autumn's Newmarket debut behind when leading close home in 1¼m Newbury maiden (good to soft) last month. Out of a mare who won this race for the same connections. Open to improvement.

Form: 5-1

Forecasts

Friendly Soul (8/11), Mayfair (4/1), Classical Song (9/2), Francophone (16/1), Secret Satire (22/1), La Pasionaria (33/1), Sinology (33/1)

FRIENDLY SOUL looked a most exciting prospect when taking the listed Pretty Polly on her Newmarket reappearance and can stretch her unbeaten record to 3 assuming this doesn't come too soon only 10 days on. Francophone should have more to come on the back of her 1m Southwell handicap success, particularly now stepping up in trip, and can provide the chief threat ahead of Classical Song.
