Warby¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 78| D

6/5

62,000 gns yearling, Ardad filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 5f-6f winner Just A Spark and 2-y-o 5f winner Society Kiss. Confirmed the promise of her runner-up effort on debut at Catterick (5f) when going one place better over same C&D. Value for extra, too, so the one to beat.

17/2

Foaled February 12. €1,000 yearling, resold €25,000Y, £70,000 2-y-o in April. Inns Of Court filly out of a dam who was a 2-y-o 5f winner. Ignored in the betting but debut second of 4 at Carlisle 24 days ago was promising.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Quillan (6/5), Warby (6/5), By Jove Grace (17/2), Influencer Man (18/1), Inca Warrior (33/1)

WARBY created a very favourable impression when making her second start at Catterick a winning one 10 days ago and given she was value for extra, the follow up looks on the cards. Quillan and By Jove Grace are promising in their own right so should ensure the selection doesn't have it all her own way.
