2/1

Frankel filly. Sister to top-class winner up to 1½m Cracksman and useful winner up to 1¼m Frantastic and half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Fantastic Moon. Not given a hard time when fifth of 8 on October's debut over 1m at Doncaster and she could be a totally different proposition here.

Form: 5-

16/1

Fastnet Rock filly. Sister to useful 1m winner Seattle Rock, closely related to smart winner up to 7f Great Ambassador and half-sister to 7f winner Snow Squaw. Bred to be at least useful so has to be of interest on debut.

Forecasts

Serenity Prayer (2/1), Queen Of Thieves (2/1), Lady Ridgewood (6/1), Star Of Dubai (6/1), Rock Music (16/1), Lady Randolph (16/1), Cynthia (28/1), Llangynin Lass (28/1)

Given her pedigree and connections, QUEEN OF THIEVES is sure to do much better as a 3-y-o and tackling a more suitable trip, she can leave last autumn's debut form well behind. She may have most to fear from the newcomers, with Serenity Prayer and Lady Randolph of particular interest.
