Novelette¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: S & E Crisford

8/11

Once-raced filly. 10/3, third of 10 in maiden at Nottingham (5f, good to soft) on debut 14 days ago. Likely to improve with that experience to draw upon and she's greatly respected.

Form: 3

Zonnebloem

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw| T: K R Burke

7/1

Foaled February 16. A'ali filly. Half-sister to 17f winner Sam Sarphati and 1½m winner Oosterpark. Dam unraced. Yard no stranger to success with 2-y-o newcomers and this one will be interesting if the market vibes are upbeat.

Big-money buy NOVELETTE made an encouraging start to her career when third at Nottingham and she may well find the required improvement to get the better of Duskaura, who sets the standard judged on her second-placed finishes at Yarmouth and Catterick. Newcomer Zonnebloem needs a close look in the betting.
