Arabian Dusk¹⁹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 108

7/2

Useful juvenile who landed the Group 2 Duchess of Cambridge on July course (6f) here before signing off with a very good third in Cheveley Park back here in September. Holds very good form claims.

Form: 23173-

Biniorella Bay¹⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 90| D

40/1

New Bay filly bagged 7f novice on July course last summer and far from disgraced when fourth in a brace of Group 3 contests at Goodwood and Deauville after. This is no easy return however.

Form: 21444-

(8)

Cartwheel¹⁸¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ray Dawson| T: Dylan Cunha| OR: 77| D

33/1

Ligtning Spear filly built on her debut promise when winning 13-runner novice at Kempton (7f) in October. Well on top at the finish there but this demands significantly more.

Form: 31-

(5)

Celestial Orbit²⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 104| D

9/1

No Nay Never filly improved a chunk with each of her three runs last summer, following up a 7f Haydock novice win with 7f listed victory at Sandown. Has an 8-month absence to overcome here but she shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 711-

(2)

Nardra²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

11/4

Cost 440,000 gns as a yearling and she got off the mark in fine style in a 6f heavy-ground novice at Haydock in September. This daughter of Night Of Thunder seems sure to leave that form behind for her leading stable. Possibilities.

Form: 1-

(3)

Qarlyga¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 83| D

66/1

Golden Horde filly comfortably got off the mark in 7f maiden at Newcastle in November but she came in only fifth of 7 in 1m conditions event at Kempton 17 days ago. In good hands and worth another chance.

Form: 61-5

(10)

Remaat²⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 89| D

20/1

Daughter of Kodiac improved with each of her three runs in the first half of 2024, bagging 3-runner maiden over July course here final run. Off 9 months but she's no forlorn hope for a yard well among the winners.

Form: 621-

(7)

Saguaro Blossom¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: B J Meehan

150/1

Arizona filly made an encouraging start when fifth of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 18 days ago. Capable of better but this is a very tall order though.

Form: 5

(6)

Verse Of Love¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| CD

15/8

Siyouni filly made a highly promising start when a five-length winner of 15-runner maiden over C&D in October, quickening clear last 1f. In top hands and looks capable of considerably better. Most interesting.

Form: 1-

(9)

Zanzoun¹⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 83| D

9/1

Daughter of Dubawi built on earlier promise when a ready winner of 7f maiden at Southwell in November. Open to a fair bit more progress so she needs considering for leading yard.

Form: 231-

Forecasts

Verse Of Love (15/8), Nardra (11/4), Arabian Dusk (7/2), Zanzoun (9/1), Celestial Orbit (9/1), Remaat (20/1), Cartwheel (33/1), Biniorella Bay (40/1), Qarlyga (66/1), Saguaro Blossom (150/1)

Charlie Appleby's Siyouni filly VERSE OF LOVE looked a fine prospect when making a winning debut over C&D last autumn and can take this step up in class in her stride on her return. Cheveley Park third Arabian Dusk holds the best form on show and must enter calculations on her reappearance, while unexposed duo Nardra and Celestial Orbit need factoring in too. The Gosdens' impressive AW scorer Zanzoun completes the shortlist in a fascinating Nell Gwyn.
