Promising start to her career when winning 7-runner novice (10/11) at Southwell (1m) in March, overcoming a pace bias to reel in a next-time-out winner. Smart prospect.

Lope Y Fernandez gelding. Dam, 1¼m-2m winner who also won over hurdles, sister to winner up to 1½m Chilworth Bells. This one would be a surprise winner on debut.

45,000 gns foal. Showcasing half-brother to several winners, including smart 2-y-o 6f winner Cathedral and useful winner up to 1m Tolstoy and useful 6f winner Firebird. Makes enough paper appeal to warrant a look in the betting.

Fair when reaching the frame in a pair of 7f outings at Newmarket last autumn. Will need to improve on those efforts if he's to strike on reappearance.

€580,000 Kingman colt who is the second foal of an unraced half-sister to 3 Group 1 winners. Would enter calculations if the betting speaks in his favour.

Shaped well when runner-up in 7f novices on turf at Yarmouth and all-weather at Chelmsford last year. Open to progress on return and the obvious threat to Always Happy.

28/1
Too Darn Hot filly. Closely related to useful 1¼m-11f winner Calmly and half-sister to 9.5f winner Shrewdness and 1¼m winner Stimulate. The betting should help guide to expectations with this newcomer.

Forecasts

Always Happy (1/3), York Tower (11/2), Savvy Disko (7/1), Turret (17/2), Molo Del Palazzo (11/1), Tropical Sands (28/1), Minerality (50/1), Don Pablo Colina (125/1), Notable Charm (250/1), Dupont Circle (300/1), Midnight Steppers (300/1), Cormorant Rock (300/1)

Verdict

ALWAYS HAPPY created a good impression on her Southwell debut and looks up to defying a penalty. York Tower was runner-up on both outings as a juvenile and is the one likely to chase the selection home unless the market vibes are strong surrounding well-bred Andrew Balding newcomer Turret.

  1. Always Happy1/3
  2. York Tower11/2
