8/15

105,000 gns Minzaal half-brother to very smart 6f winner Powerful Glory. Showed speed when 4 lengths second on 5f Newcastle debut 4 weeks ago. Leading claims with improvement likely.

10/1

Ran her best race when third of 7 in maiden at Bath (5f, good to soft) 18 days ago but it's little better than modest form and leaves her with a bit to find here.

Forecasts

Caelum (8/15), Lady Branksome (15/8), Viking Barbie (2/1), Crimson Blaze (10/1), Runaway Lucy (125/1)

CAELUM shaped quite well on his Newcastle debut and might be able to improve past Lady Branksome, who sets the standard on her Ripon second but has been off since a disappointing effort at Chester in mid-June.
