3/1
Consistent rather than progressive last year, good third of 6 in nursery at Ripon (8f, good to soft), slowly away. Off 9 months and a definite factor in this if returning on her game.

7/2
Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Andrew Balding when third of 12 in novice (40/1) at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Should progress, particularly back over 1m.

Came on plenty for debut when fourth of 11 in novice at Windsor (8.1f, good) 21 days ago, headway when badly hampered. Sure to progress and she's of major interest.

6/4
Sea The Stars filly who failed to meet market expectations when third of 4 in novice at Salisbury (9.9f, good to firm, 5/6) on debut 15 days ago, not knocked about. Sure to know a lot more this time so improvement in the offing.

Forecasts

Wujjood (6/4), Blessed Star (3/1), Empire Power (7/2), Magical Idea (5/1), Radiant Jewel (11/1), Dinah Myte (150/1)

Verdict

William Haggas saddles a couple of very interesting runners in MAGICAL IDEA and Wujjood. Separating them isn't easy as they boast different profiles but the former caught the eye when denied a clear run at Windsor and back up in distance, she's awarded the vote. Blessed Star's 2-y-o form brings her into the mix.
