Artanis¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| BF

85/40

Once-raced maiden. 4/6, second of 5 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago, clear of rest. Likely to improve and she's clealry the one to beat.

Form: 2

Celestra

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: J & T Gosden

9/2

Foaled March 10. Kingman filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Remaat and 1m winner D Flawless. Dam 1m-1¼m winner. Lots to like on paper and it'll be interesting to see which way she goes in the betting.

Evolutionist

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

11/8

Foaled March 2. €600,000 yearling, Night of Thunder filly. Yard can ready a newcomer alright and confidence behind this likely-looking filly in the betting would look significant.

Isle of Fernandez

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

10/1

Foaled February 9. Lope Y Fernandez filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 1m Gypsy Spirit and 7f winner Georgeta. Watch the betting for clues.

18/1

Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Kempton (7f, 14/1) on debut 23 days ago. Will need to leave that run well behind if she's to take this.

28/1

Foaled April 1. Havana Grey filly. Sister to 1m winner Cuban Girl. Dam, Slovakian 2-y-o 7f winner, half-sister to smart 6f/7f winner Dandy Boy. Limited appeal on paper.
