Bright Times Ahead⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 88

5/4

Lope De Vega filly who looked a fine prospect when justifying support in 9-runner heavy-ground novice at Newmarket on debut in November. Still green when well held in Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury on reappearance and has obvious claims back down in grade.

Form: 1-0

Forty Years On¹¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Darragh Keenan| T: George Scott

4/1

Mayson filly who built on debut promise when off the mark in 11-runner novice at Doncaster (7f, good) in March, quickening to lead final 100 yds. Absence a slight concern and has a penalty to carry but likely to progress further.

Form: 31

Bintkend

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Aidan Keeley| T: R Varian

10/1

260,000 gns yearling, Wootton Bassett filly. Half-sister to Australian 1m winner Maximum Dividend. Dam winner up to 1¾m (2-y-o 7.4f winner). Noteworthy newcomer.

Merapi²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: E Walker

9/4

Frankel filly who produced promising first effort when fourth of 11 in maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft, 25/1) on debut 27 days ago, never nearer. Likely to improve.

Form: 4

(5)

Vronti¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon

18/1

Night of Thunder filly who is bred to be smart and shaped with promise when fourth of 13 in 1m maiden at Ffos Las (good) on debut 10 days ago. Sure to improve.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Bright Times Ahead (5/4), Merapi (9/4), Forty Years On (4/1), Bintkend (10/1), Vronti (18/1)

BRIGHT TIMES AHEAD failed to live up to the promise of her debut win when well held in the Fred Darling Stakes at Newbury on her reappearance, but she still looked green and can get back on track now returning to calmer waters. Vronti is bred to be smart and can improve on an encouraging opening effort at Ffos Las recently, with Bintkend an appealing newcomer to keep a close eye on in the betting.
