Secret Of Life²⁷⁵

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

13/8

Promising start to her career when winning 7f Wolverhampton maiden last August. Did that readily and could be plenty more to come now switching to turf.

Form: 1-

Mass For Kathleen

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado

66/1

Massaat half-sister to winner up to 1m English Lady. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 9.4f Lat Hawill out of useful 1½m winner Arbella. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Pointe Bleu³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

13/8

Beaten 12 lengths when fourth of 5 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 35 days ago but the fact she was 5/2 second favourite suggests better was anticipated.

Prima Bailarina¹⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| BF

9/2

Caught the eye when fourth of 9 in novice at Redcar (7f, good to soft) on debut in October. Could only match that form when filling the same position at Newcastle (7f again) 4 weeks later but this half-sister to connections' Abbaye winner Makarova returns to the track with untapped potential.

Form: 44-

Shushu

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

5/1

Night of Thunder filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, closely related to useful 10.5f-1¾m winner Traisha out of useful 1¼m-11.3f winner Dress Rehearsal. Newcomer from a leading yard who would very much enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.

SECRET OF LIFE had something to spare on her Wolverhampton debut at the end of last summer and she might be up to defying a penalty on her return. Market support for Roger Varian newcomer Shushu would make her a possible threat, while Pointe Bleu was prominent enough in the betting on her debut to think she'd been showing up well at home and could prove a different proposition second time up.
