30/100

Mehmas filly who justified very short odds first time out in 6-runner maiden at Newcastle (7f, 1/2) 6 months ago, briefly needing firmish pressure to assert but essentially looking a class apart. Fancied to make it 2-2 under a penalty with significant improvement on the cards.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Jack Morland| OR: 75

7/1

Fair form when runner-up in 7f Chelmsford novices, including on reappearance 7 weeks ago. Tackles turf for the first time here. Should be on the premises but likely vulnerable to something with potential.

Form: 22-2

Me An' All¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: J Ryan

125/1

Dream Ahead filly who offered little on debut at Newmarket a fortnight ago. Seemingly one for low-grade handicaps later down the line.

Form: 9

Night Shining²⁹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey

8/1

Fetched 475,000 gns as a yearling but didn't know enough to get involved when sixth of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (6f, good to firm, 9/2) on debut 9 months ago, given a considerate introduction as a result. Can be expected to leave that well behind in time.

Form: 6-

Too Too Divine¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ross Coakley| T: J R Fanshawe

25/1

Starman filly who ran to just a poor level when last of 4 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) on debut 6 months ago. Significant step forward required.

Form: 4-

Venetian Sky¹⁸⁰

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

9/1

St Mark's Basilica filly who looked in need of experience when tenth of 11 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut 6 months ago. Given time over the winter and should have plenty more to offer this season.

FASHION PEOPLE looked a class apart when justifying cramped odds at Newcastle on debut 6 months ago and open to significant improvement, she earns the vote to remain unbeaten. Jack Morland's Baandee has found one too good on all 3 outings at Chelmsford, and she may have to settle for another silver medal switched to turf.
