Selected odds by:

(4)

Eyes On Asha

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

3/1

Cost a fortune as a breeze up purchase last year and she currently holds an Irish 1000 Guineas entry. Stable capable of readying one for a debut and jockey is useful around here so plenty to like.

Form:

(5)

Fiendish

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

7/2

Likely to go well on this surface and trainer's runners often do well as juveniles. Significant market support would make her an interesting proposition and this trip looks about right on debut.

Form: 3235

(6)

Hot Natured²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke

1/1

Cost £65,000 as a yearling and represents the colours of regular Newcastle race sponsor John Dance. Did her chance no favours from the stalls last time out but likely to have learned plenty from that so her limited experience could prove vital against some unraced market rivals.

Form: 25

(7)

Lady Hester¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Ted Durcan| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 62

10/1

Has a good pedigree for this surface but has looked relatively disappointing in three career starts and more unexposed rivals could well prove better than the benchmark she sets, holding an official rating of 62.

Form: 76-342

(8)

Magic Approach¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: D M Simcock

33/1

Cheap purchase who will be better suited to turf and this trip may stretch her on debut.

Form: 6

(1)

Rosemay¹¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: I Jardine

16/1

Only modest efforts in two starts in maidens and she's likely to prove better in handicaps; qualifies for a mark after this race.

Form: 67-738

(2)

R U Mine¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: K Dalgleish

33/1

Cost €11,000 as a two-year-old and connections do well around here but trip likely to stretch her a little on debut and this looks like a good maiden.

Form: 85

(3)

Sulafah^p1,h¹¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: S G West| OR: 72

28/1

Sets a decent standard on form with a good second at Newmarket in the Autumn but not as good back here over a furlong shorter than today's trip last time. Cheekpieces applied on first run after leaving Roger Varian and may need the run after a break.

Form: 028-23

Forecasts

Hot Natured (1/1), Eyes On Asha (3/1), Fiendish (7/2), Lady Hester (10/1), Rosemay (16/1), Sulafah (28/1), Magic Approach (33/1), R U Mine (33/1)

It's hard to look past EYES ON ASHA despite the fact she's yet to see a racecourse. Her astonishing purchase prize suggests she showed plenty at the breeze ups and connections have a good record here. Hot Natured should come on for her debut effort here and she should be able to take advantage of any inexperience her rivals show. Flendish is likely to enjoy this surface and her trainer does well with his juveniles. 1. Eyes On Asha 2. Hot Natured 3. Fiendish
