Dubawi filly. Dam, French 1¼m winner, half-sister to top-class winner up to 7f Pinatubo. From a fine Godolphin family. Bred in the purple but surprisingly easy to back when third of 6 starting out at Newmarket 2 weeks ago (7f). That was a perfectly good start and she's sure to improve.

€125,000 yearling, Sioux Nation filly who shaped a lot better than on debut fitted with a hood when fourth of 10 at Haydock (7f) 4 weeks ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. In the right hands to progress again.

Foaled May 7. Dubawi filly. Sister to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Golden View. Dam 7f/1m winner (including at 2 yrs). Makes plenty of appeal on paper for leading connections.

Kameko filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 1m winner Dark Rose Angel and 7f-9f winner Lord Church. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to smart 5f-7f winner Rose Bonheur. Too green to show much after missing the break on Kempton debut 2 weeks ago. Better expected.

Forecasts

Desert Romance (4/6), Snow Carnival (9/2), Fortis Fortuna (15/2), Floral (8/1), Macha'allah (17/2), Tenshi (25/1), Harlequin Dream (100/1), Skyglow (150/1)

Verdict

Charlie Appleby saddles a couple of very interesting contenders, with William Buick presumably opting for the experience of DESERT ROMANCE over well-bred newcomer Snow Carnival. She's therefore the percentage call, with Fortis Fortuna and Macha'Allah also appealing debutantes.
