(4)

She's The Duchess⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey

5/6

Promising individual. 4/7, won 6-runner maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 90 days ago, kept up to work having travelled powerfully. Sure to progress and drop to 6f won't be an issue.

Form: 1

(1)

Dance Of Knights

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke

5/1

Sergei Prokofiev filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 6f Star of Lady M and 2-y-o 5f winner Aye Catcher. Dam 7f winner. Trainer’s newcomers command serious respect and stall one could be a plus if she breaks smartly.

Furrst Lady

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs R Carr

33/1

€45,000 yearling, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to several winners, notably smart 6f/7f winner Spycatcher. Stable not known for winning newcomers but this one does make some paper appeal.

Form:

Highfield Artist²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

40/1

Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (6f, 40/1) 23 days ago. Looks a handicap project.

Form: 76

(5)

Minshaar

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey

11/1

Mohaather filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Bombay Bazaar. Dam 1m winner. Newcomer for successful yard so of interest, particularly if the vibes are positive.

Form:

(8)

Miss Hathaway¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72

9/2

Fair filly. Below form fourth of 8 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1). Off 6 months and while she sets the standard on her best 2-y-o form, she had plenty of racing.

Form: 323044-

Secret Dreamer¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: T D Barron

7/1

Slowly into stride and unable to land a blow when seventh of 9 in novice (40/1) at Redcar (6f, soft) on debut. Off 178 days.

Form: 7-

Ziva's Star²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Pinna⁽⁷⁾| T: S Whitaker| OR: 37

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, first run since leaving Philip Kirby when fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago.

Form: 890-5

Forecasts

She's The Duchess (5/6), Miss Hathaway (9/2), Dance Of Knights (5/1), Secret Dreamer (7/1), Minshaar (11/1), Furrst Lady (33/1), Highfield Artist (40/1), Ziva's Star (125/1)

SHE'S THE DUCHESS justified heavy support on debut over 7f at Newcastle in January and while the form is only ordinary, she's expected to build on that. With that in mind, she can defy a penalty, possibly at the main expense of newcomers Dance of Knights and Minshaar.
