Thrice-raced maiden. Best effort when second of 11 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 20 days ago. That sets the standard.

Alshera

Sea The Stars filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Antarah and half-sister to 1m winner Alhattan. Very interesting to see how she compares in the betting to stablemate Good Old Days.

Good Old Days¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| BF

12/1

Shaped well when third on Ascot debut in May. 11/8, only fourth of 5 in novice at Chelmsford (1¼m) 5 months later but worth another chance to confirm her debut promise.

Form: 34

Heed^h1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: G Boughey

7/1

Winning debut at Ffos Las in August. Found out in listed company in France since but this is more realistic. Fitted with a first-time hood.

Form: 18

Forecasts

Alshera (11/8), Native Spirit (9/4), My Fermoy (4/1), Heed (7/1), Good Old Days (12/1), Deferred Interest (300/1)

A trappy-looking novice. It's possible GOOD OLD DAYS just needed it after a break at Chelmsford recently and she's given another chance to confirm her debut promise, perhaps at the chief expense of Nottingham runner-up My Fermoy.
