Blingy's Sister¹⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Palmer| OR: 89

18/1

Debut Chepstow winner in July and unlucky not to finish closer when third in a sales race at the Curragh in September, denied a clear run and forced very wide. Newmarket's undulations didn't suit her in the Oh So Sharp on final 2-y-o run and this scopey filly can do better this year.

Form: 1235-

Catching The Moon²¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: R A Fahey| OR: 98

5/1

Confirmed the promise of her debut when landing the odds in a Beverley novice in August and improved another chunk when following up in 6f Firth of Clyde at Ayr a month later. Bred to stay well and 7f+ will suit this year, so has to be of serious interest on reappearance.

Form: 211-

Domina Ignis^h1¹⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: K P De Foy

12/1

€70,000 foal, €300,000 2-y-o, Pinatubo filly. Dam, third at 1m, sister to 1m winner Chartreuse and 1¼m winner Tycoon, out of useful 1m winner Bufera. Must have breezed well and she created a very favourable impression when slamming 8 rivals at Southwell in November. Hood on and lots more to come.

Ellusive Butterfly²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 89| D

25/1

Invincible Army filly who shaped well when third in 7f listed race at Deauville in July and resumed from 6 months off with a cosy success in 7f Southwell maiden in January. Improved again when second upped to 1m at Kempton. Fitness assured and she's going the right way.

Form: 43-12

Figjam¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: K Scott| OR: 89

66/1

Excelled herself when fourth to Catching the Moon in the Group 3 Firth of Clyde at Ayr and didn't have too much difficulty landing the odds back down in class at Leicester. Stayed on for second in the mud at Doncaster (6f) final start and 7f the logical step up on reappearance.

Form: 2412-

K Sarra¹⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

10/1

New Bay filly. Sister to smart winner up to 1½m Pride of Arras and closely related to useful winner up to 1¼m Patient Dream and 1½m winner Latin Verse. Dam 1½m winner. From a family connections know well and she was a ready winner starting out over 1m at Southwell in November. In expert hands.

Princess Petrol^h1²¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 100

10/1

Novice winner at Ascot over 6f on second start in July and pitched into Group company after, she showed improved form, 3¼ lengths fourth of 5 to Green Spirit in Prix d'Aumale at Longchamp. Useful filly who returns with a hood on for the first time.

Form: 5124-

Silenciosa¹²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| D

33/1

Attracted support and made a winning debut in taking fashion in 14-runner novice at Southwell in December (7f), scoring readily despite coming from off a modest pace. Bare form nothing to write home about but she can only improve.

Form: 1-

(15)

Spinning Lizzie²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: Dr R Newland & J Insole| OR: 96

22/1

Kameko filly who was successful on her debut at Ripon (6f) last May and signed off with a very good fifth of 7 in Prestige (cheekpieces on) at Goodwood in August. Matched that form when making a winning return over 1m at Kempton and way she shaped that day, return to 7f may not be ideal.

Form: 1025-1

(9)

Splish Splash¹⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 87

16/1

Daughter of Wootton Bassett who created a favourable impression when making all on third start at Haydock in October (6f). Similar form when third in big-field listed event over the same trip at Newmarket a fortnight later and 7f should suit on reappearance.

Form: 3413-

(12)

Stimulative Trip²⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: D Menuisier| CD

14/1

Bred to be useful and she overcame trouble in running to make a winning debut in 9-runner novice over C&D in June, showing a sharp turn of foot when in the clear. Subsequent absence a slight concern but patient yard adept with similar types.

Form: 1-

Sukanya²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: J Channon| OR: 98| C

14/1

Havana Grey filly who made a winning start at this venue over 6f last summer. Advanced her form in defeat after but heavy defeat in the Rockfel Stakes was a backward step. Off 6 months but stable started the campaign well.

Form: 17429-

(4)

Touleen²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 100| BF| CD

15/8

Lope de Vega filly made a highly-promising start when bagging a C&D maiden on debut in August and followed up in equally fine style at Leicester 17 days ago. Newmarket may not been the ideal track for her when she was well held in the Rockfel Stakes but she remains a good prospect this year,

Form: 115-

Zaravina²⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: B J Meehan

20/1

Second foal, dam, French 9.2f winner, half-sister to high-class 1m-1½m winner Vadamos out of 1¼m-1½m winner Celebre Vadala. Showed plenty when short-head second of 15 to Rose Ghaiyyath in valuable 7f newcomers race at Deauville in August. Open to improvement.

Form: 2-

Zooming¹⁶⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| D

11/1

60,000 gns foal, 110,000 gns yearling. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Mythical Dancer. Dam 1¼m/11f winner. Runner-up on debut over 6f at Haydock in October and confirmed that promise when going one place better over 7f a fortnight later. Looks a powerful galloper for her leading yard.

Form: 21-

Forecasts

Touleen (15/8), Catching The Moon (5/1), Domina Ignis (10/1), Zooming (10/1), K Sarra (10/1), Princess Petrol (12/1), Stimulative Trip (14/1), Zaravina (14/1), Spinning Lizzie (16/1), Blingy's Sister (16/1), Sukanya (16/1), Splish Splash (20/1), Ellusive Butterfly (25/1), Silenciosa (33/1), Figjam (33/1)

Having looked all over a Group performer on her first 2 starts, TOULEEN came unstuck in the Rockfel on her final 2-y-o start. This more conventional track should suit on reappearance and she can get back on the up. As is often the case in these races, many are open to plenty of improvement, notably Zooming and K Sarra.
