Age: 5| Weight: 10-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: T Faulkner

250/1

125/1 when well held on 9.5f Wolverhampton debut just before Christmas.

Form: 8-

Galaxy Star⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: A King

7/2

Fair bumper winner so should be up to making an impact on the Flat.

Semele⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: L Wadham

40/1

Modest form at best in a trio bumpers so likely best watched now switching to the Flat.

Liveinthelight²⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Ollie Sangster

20/1

50/1, badly in need of experience when last of 11 on 1m Ascot debut last autumn. Significantly up in trip. Would need to see market support to consider.

Semper Femina

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: R Hannon

9/4

€80,000 Lucky Vega filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Taamol and 6.5f-9f winner Botas. Dam maiden. The betting should help guide to expectations with this Richard Hannon debutante.

Shirakawa⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

12/1

33/1, twelfth of 13 in 1m maiden at this course on debut 75 days ago. This much longer trip needs to spark significant improvement.

Form: 0

Shushi²⁰⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding

10/11

Fair form when fourth in 1m maidens at Newmarket and Ascot at the end of last summer. Her pedigree suggests that this sort of trip will suit her. Likely to go well.

Form: 44-

Forecasts

Shushi (10/11), Aukus (2/1), Semper Femina (9/4), Galaxy Star (7/2), Shirakawa (12/1), Liveinthelight (20/1), Semele (40/1), Calypso Bloom (250/1), Six Blue (300/1)

AUKUS gets the vote to make a winning start for Ralph Beckett, with confidence in her prospects increased should the betting vibes be strong. Andrew Balding's Shushi showed promise in 2 outings over 1m last year and is feared most ahead of Alan King bumper winner Galaxy Star.
