17/2

€32,000 Cracksman half-sister to 16.2f/16.5f winner Zephlyn and 1m-11f winner Thunder Girl. Dam, 13.3f winner, closely related to smart 7f-9f winner Baraweez. The fitting of headgear on debut is always offputting but still worth a precautionary betting check.

Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up on debut when a fair third at Chelmsford (1¼m) 29 days ago but this demands more again.

Forecasts

Romantic Opera (4/9), Wishful Spirit (11/4), Cantalice (17/2), Dojin (10/1), Lady Odette (10/1), Kintbury (12/1), Zabeel Rain (14/1), Maundy Thursday (50/1)

Godolphin may dominate, with ROMANTIC OPERA, the mount of William Buick, taken to get the better of newcomer Wishful Spirit. Kintbury looks best of the remainder.
