7/2

£100,000 yearling, Churchill filly knew her job on debut when winning on debut under a front-running ride at Chepstow (6.1f) last month. That wasn't the strongest maiden bur she's clearly well thought of (entered in Lowther) and should be competitive under a penalty if she can improve on that run.

Aylin

8/11

600,000 gns yearling, St Mark's Basilica filly. Half-sister to useful 5f winner Sturlasson and 2-y-o 5f winner Fuji Mountain. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Expensive purchase for yard who are excellent with juveniles. Entered in the Lowther here next month and appeals as a very interesting newcomer.

Calling A Star¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: R Hughes

8/1

Showcasing filly was unable to justify support when showing plenty of inexperience on debut, finishing well held in a 14-runner maiden at Newbury (6f) 17 days ago. Wasn't given anything like a hard time that day and may well have more to offer second time up.

22/1

£40,000 yearling, Mehmas filly. Half-sister to 7.4f winner Bowen Island. Dam, maiden (stayed 10.5f), half-sister to smart 1m winner Taniyar out of useful winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner) Tanoura. Worth a market check on debut for yard who are doubly represented.

7/1

Foaled February 16. Wootton Bassett filly. Dam unraced sister to 1½m winner (stayed 1¾m) Queenstown and winner up to 9f Rain Goddess (Irish Oaks runner-up), both smart. Highly respected on debut for top connections.

28/1

Foaled April 27. €37,000 yearling, Zarak filly. Dam, 7f/1m winner, half-sister to smart 1m-1¼m winner Expresso Star out of smart 1m-1¼m winner Caffe Latte. One of two newcomers for Kevin Ryan and market should prove informative.

Aylin (8/11), Bosa Nova (7/2), Secret Echo (7/1), Calling A Star (8/1), Douwantitrightnow (22/1), Zaina Zarak (28/1)

Expensive purchase AYLIN makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and may be able to make a winning debut for her excellent yard. Fellow Lowther entry Bosa Nova may prove next best, having made a successful racecourse bow at Chepstow last month, while Secret Echo is another interesting newcomer to note for top connections.
