3/1

Pinatubo filly who is bred to be useful and equipped with blinkers for debut, she overcame inexperience to land a 5-runner Newmarket novice (7f) 16 days ago, running green before running on. Should improve and she's a definite player under a penalty with headgear retained.

8/11

Earthlight colt who shaped with plenty of encouragement when fifth of 15 in novice at Newbury (7f, good) on debut in May, the lack of a run telling only very late on. That form has plenty of substance (3 of first 4 have won since) and he rates a sure-fire improver.

Form: 5

Call Alert³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Gilligan| T: W Muir & C Grassick

66/1

Mohaather filly who was too green to show anything starting out in testing conditions when well beaten in a Lingfield maiden 5 weeks ago. This ought to reveal more but best watched in any case.

March Of Time⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox

4/1

Invincible Spirit filly who is related to several winners and she showed ability amidst inexperience when third of 10 in a Windsor novice (6f) 6 weeks ago. In good hands and she rates a likely improver.

Turtle Creek

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie| T: C G Cox

25/1

Kameko filly. Half-sister to 11.5f winner Royal Family and 4.7f winner Sneaky. Dam, Australian 6f-1m winner, half-sister to Australian Group 3 1m winner Lunar Rise. Mixed bag on pedigree and her yard may well hold stronger claims with March Of Time.

ODOGWU showed plenty of ability when fifth in a Newbury maiden that is working out very well on debut back in May and rating a sure-fire improver with that run under his belt, Roger Varian's colt makes plenty of appeal second time up. Newmarket debut scorer Vanilla Skies can provide chief resistance.
