Ghost Mode^h²³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

1/3

Promising sort. Debut form worked out and well and he stepped up himself when third of 12 in maiden at Goodwood (7f, good) 23 days ago. Likely to improve again and he's the one to beat.

Form: 33

Champagne Dream²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Kyle Strydom| T: Dylan Cunha

18/1

Third of 6 in novice at this C&D (good to soft, 11/1) on debut 25 days ago, knowing what was required.

Form: 3

(4)

Mayaada⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 74

4/1

Advanced her form when very good second of 12 in novice at Ripon (8f, good to firm) 9 days ago. Seen to maximum effect on that occasion but a repeat of that will ensure she's involved.

Form: 53322

(2)

Princess Honey Bee⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| BF

11/1

Third-place finish on debut at Yarmouth worked out and sent off Evens, she could manage only the same position in 7-runner maiden at Kempton (8f) 6 days ago. Back in trip and remains with potential.

Form: 33

Forecasts

Ghost Mode (1/3), Mayaada (4/1), Princess Honey Bee (11/1), Champagne Dream (18/1)

GHOST MODE confirmed the promise of his debut when third at Goodwood 3 weeks ago and this looks a good opening for him. Mayaada is more exposed but his last effort was a personal best and this uncomplicated filly is the obvious danger.
