Be An Angel¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: B R Millman| OR: 69

9/1

Fair filly who matched her reappearance form when creditable third of 13 at Kempton, weakening final 100 yards. Below form over same C&D last time and return to 6f may well suit ideally on that evidence.

Form: 342-538

Saguaro Blossom^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan| OR: 80

13/8

Built on debut promise when enhancing her form upped markedly in class when coming in ninth of 10 in Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes at Newmarket (7f), though never really threatened. Disappointed back on the AW at Kempton last time. but this looks a good opportunity to make amends in first time headgear.

Form: 597

Wind Of War

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S D Bowen| T: M Murphy

80/1

€45,000 yearling, 1,000 gns 2-y-o, Soldier's Call filly. Dam, third at 8.5f (sole start), half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Gaassee out of useful 2-y-o 1m winner Oojooba. Stable not renowned for debut winners.

Marsh Meadow¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Nathan Evans| T: A Keatley

11/1

Twice-raced filly showed ability on debut prior to struggling up in class when fourth of 5 in novice (50/1) at York (7.9f, good) 10 days ago. Down in trip and could have more to offer back at a more realistic level.

Form: 34

Spirit Of Jenny

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead

40/1

27,000 gns 2-y-o, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to winner up to 6f Shuangxi. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to useful 5f winner (including at 2 yrs) Pyman's Theory. Likely an outsider on debut.

Velvet Whisper²¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: E Bethell

85/40

Gambled-on 2/1, second of 8 in maiden at Southwell (7.1f) on debut but failed to match that 12 days on when seventh of 12 in novice at Newcastle (7.1f), possibly found the race coming too soon. Could be worth another chance dropping in trip on return.

Form: 27-

Antalya¹⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones

5/1

Time Test filly ran to a similar level as on debut when 4/1, third of 10 in novice at Chelmsford City (6f) in December, holding his own until late on. Given a break and could be open to progress on turf debut.

Form: 33-

(6)

Linear Spirit¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti

14/1

Make Believe filly showed something like debut form ridden closer to the pace when fourth of 11 in maiden (8/1) at Kempton (7f) 19 days ago. Should stay further than this but improvement not ruled out on turf debut.

Form: 54

Forecasts

Saguaro Blossom (13/8), Velvet Whisper (85/40), Antalya (5/1), Princess Pw (7/1), Be An Angel (9/1), Marsh Meadow (11/1), Linear Spirit (14/1), Spirit Of Jenny (40/1), Wind Of War (80/1)

SAGUARO BLOSSOM showed enough in her first two starts to suggest she should be up to taking this, the addition of headgear may well ensure a sterner finishing effort than she produced at Kempton last time. Velvet Whisper showed promise on debut and is worth another chance following a break, while Be An Angel could be better suited by the drop back to 6f.
