10/3

65,000 gns yearling, Make Believe filly. 13/2, showed ability amidst greenness when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) on debut 20 days ago. Should have more to offer.

Form: 5

Good Reward¹³⁷

100/1

Once-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 10 in maiden at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) on debut in June. Steps up significantly in trip back from a break but she could well be one for handicaps further down the line.

Form: 8

7/1

Zoustar filly who matched debut form when second of 6 in novice at Haydock (7.2f, heavy) 21 days ago. Appeals as the type to progress further and she's respected on tapeta debut.

Form: 32

(7)

Tundra Rose⁷⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara

1/1

£90,000 yearling, Tamayuz filly. Well supported and shaped with plenty of encouragement when third of 11 in class 2 maiden at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) on debut back in August, running green but keeping on. Looks sure to improve and the one to beat here.

Form: 3

(4)

Yellow Dream

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Mark Winn| T: D O'Meara

50/1

Foaled March 5. €40,000 foal, £46,000 yearling, Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Rainbow Royal and winner up to 7f Rose Marmara. Dam 6f winner (including at 2 yrs). Market should guide with yard also saddling Tundra Rose.

Forecasts

Tundra Rose (1/1), Glamorous Marlene (10/3), North Star (7/2), Storm Lady (7/1), Nightsinwhitesatin (25/1), Yellow Dream (50/1), Good Reward (100/1)

Having been well supported, TUNDRA ROSE shaped with considerable promise when third behind a subsequent Group 3 scorer on debut at Glorious Goodwood back in August and, with progress on the cards, she can make it second time lucky. Storm Lady and Glamorous Marlene head up the dangers, though market confidence behind Nightsinwhitesatin or North Star would look significant.
