Line Of Force

3/1

Foaled February 1. Calyx colt. Dam unraced sister to useful winner up to 9.5f Turnberry Isle out of Cheveley Park/Lowther Stakes winner Rosdhu Queen. Leading yard operating at 27% with their juveniles so far this term and well worth a second look on debut.

Lovely Spirit²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Ryan Sexton| T: R A Fahey| BF

4/1

Invincible Spirit filly. Produced promising first effort despite being held back by inexperience when third of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, soft, 3/1) on debut 23 days ago, finishing with running left. Entitled to have derived plenty from that and she's respected.

Form: 3

Foaled March 10. €22,000 yearling, Coulsty filly. Dam, 5f winner who stayed 7f, half-sister to useful winner up to 10.4f Company Asset. One to monitor in the market on debut for clues.

18/1

Saxon Warrior filly. Clearly in need of the experience when seventh of 12 in seller at Chester (7f, good, 33/1) on debut 6 days ago, worst of draw. Should have more to offer.

14/1

Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago, headway under 2f out before fading. Nurseries will probably be more her thing.

Forecasts

Line Of Force (3/1), Lovely Spirit (4/1), Stapleford Park (6/1), Unthinkable (6/1), An Realta Carraig (8/1), Itsallaboutus (11/1), Glitter Code (12/1), Toota (14/1), Shielas Well (18/1), Shanti Shanti (25/1), Capla Daviekins (50/1)

A few of these shaped with promise on their respective debuts without setting the world alight so it may pay to side with a newcomer in the shape of LINE OF FORCE. He appeals on paper for a yard boasting a smashing record with their juveniles and is of real interest before the benefit of market clues. Lovely Spirit, An Realta Carraig and Unthinkable (if taking up this engagement) are next best.
