Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: G Lee| T: Sir Michael Stoute

9/4

Exceed and Excel filly who cost 155,000 gns at the breeze-ups. Related to plenty of winners, though couldn't make an immediate impact when an 11½L seventh of nine, sent off at 9-1 on her Newbury debut (7f, good to firm) in April. She raced keenly that day and the hood has been dispensed with for tonight. Can't rule out significant improvement.

Harba⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Georgia Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas

7/4

Well held in maidens over 6f and 1m, unseating on her second start. Her Yarmouth reappearance race was not a strong one, though she finished 4L ahead of a filly who has since won a nursery off a mark of 62. Possibilities then, but at the same time you wouldn't say that she is making rapid progress.

Form: 7U-3

New Delhi¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston

13/2

This is her third run in fairly quick time and she did show some improvement from her first run to her second. Has been 16-1 and 12-1, so not really the subject of great expectations and is likely to be seen to better effect in nurseries.

Waiting A Lot

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: P Makin| T: D O'Meara

9/4

95,000gns yearling. Full-sister to 7f 2yo winner Bahaarah and half-sister to 1m2½f winner Eloge. Dam Italian 5f-6f winner (inc. at two/Group Three) and a half-sister to Italian 5½f 2yo Listed winner Cool Contest, out of Italian 1m Listed-placed winner. Yard 3-21 (plus four placed) with its turf juveniles this time, which is slightly up on usual strike-rate.

Forecasts

Harba (7/4), Carol (7/4), Flourishing (9/4), Waiting A Lot (9/4), New Delhi (13/2)

She has a lot more miles on the clock than her opponents, but CAROL looks to have been found the opportunity to get off the mark. Paul Mulrennan knows that she gets at least this far and can probably make plenty of use of her. Although some top yards are represented in opposition, there look to be a few questions to answer among them, with Harba possibly the one to follow home the selection, while Flourishing is not one to rule out if she can settle. A market check is suggested regarding Waiting A Lot.
