Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

8/11

Hello Youmzain filly made an impressive winning start to her career over 5f at Beverley (soft) last autumn. Useful prospect who should be hard to beat unless one of the newcomers is well above average.

Elemma

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Garritty| T: R A Fahey

15/2

135,000 gns Starman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful trio The Man, Justifier and Goodwood Crusader. Decent pedigree and it'll be interesting to see how strong the betting vibes are.

Reader¹⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: M P Tregoning

4/1

Showed promise amid greenness when second of 7 in novice at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) on debut in October and perhaps not fully over those exertions when disappointing at Chelmsford 18 days later.

Form: 28-

Town Queen

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K R Burke

11/4

€160,000 Blue Point half-sister to 3 winners, including useful US 1m winner Sakura Flavor and 12.5f winner Raving Royal. In the same ownership as Lady Youmzain. Market informative.

28/1

Fair maiden (trained by Richard Hannon first 6 starts). Looked hard ride when last seen in November starting out for this yard.

Forecasts

Lady Youmzain (5/6), Town Queen (7/2), Elemma (5/1), Reader (13/2), Uncertainty (20/1)

LADY YOUMZAIN looked good on her Beverley debut last September and has to be considered the one to beat, although strong market support for Karl Burke debutante Town Queen, who is in the same ownership as the selection, would put a slightly different slant on things. The other newcomer, Elemma, also makes paper appeal.
