3/1

Havana Grey filly who stepped up on her debut third at Kempton (6f) when second of 9 in novice at this course (6.1f) 25 days ago. Looks the type to progress again with this step up in trip expected to hold no fears.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 69

25/1

Easily best effort when third in 7f maiden at Newcastle (7f) in September. However, below that level when eighth of 9 in nursery at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) later that month. Each-way possibilities back from 6 months off.

Promising type. 14/1, third of 9 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 31 days ago. Open to improvement but the draw could have been kinder.

Miss Guinness²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A J Farragher| T: Harry Eustace

28/1

Makes some appeal on paper and stepped up on debut effort when fourth of 9 in novice (50/1) at this course (6.1f) 25 days ago, outpaced home turn before staying on. Step back up in trip promises to suit and she appeals as the type to improve further.

50/1

Twice-raced filly. Showed more than first time up returning from 4 months off when seventh of 10 in novice (66/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 9 days ago. Still, handicaps expected to be more her things.

Forecasts

Niyla Breeze (13/8), Magna Grecia Star (5/2), Havana Joy (3/1), Wise Stars (7/2), Appetiser (10/1), Live Each Day (14/1), Cushty (25/1), Miss Guinness (28/1), Lady Mary (50/1), Carida (66/1)

HAVANA JOY stepped up on her debut effort when runner-up in a 6f novice here 25 days ago and, appealing as the type to progress further, she shades the vote on her first crack at 7f. Niyla Breeze is a newcomer to note with Oisin Murphy an eye-catching booking. Magna Grecia Star and Wise Stars are others fancied to be thereabouts.
