Selected odds by:

(5)

Koubba^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L P Keniry| T: N P Mulholland

100/1

Peintre Celebre filly who doesn't have the most obvious pedigree for a first time out victory, and it fitted with a tongue strap for this first racecourse appearance.

Form:

(9)

Beauchamp Rose¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes

100/1

Ran poorly on debut at Wolverhampton last time out when beaten 33L, and has plenty to prove now making her debut on turf.

Form: 6

(6)

Dukinta^b¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer

25/1

Showed improved form on her second start at Doncaster last time out having failed to impress on debut, but will need to take an even bigger step forward in order to prove competitive in this.

Form: 06

(4)

Fashion Theory^p1⁸²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 76

11/4

Has been steadily progressing as she steps up in trip and shouldn't have an issue with these further two furlongs, with further improvement likely in first time cheek pieces. Should go well for some top connections.

Form: 93-5

(10)

Kirkland Forever

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: M Dwyer| T: B G Powell

66/1

Sakhee filly, whose dam stayed much further than this but still doesn't look an appealing option on breeding and connections for a first time out win.

Form:

(3)

Lady Valdean²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: J Santos| OR: 74

6/1

Somewhat unlucky not to have yet gotten off the mark but has looked outclassed in the main during maidens and would probably prefer softer conditions compared to what she's likely to get.

Form: 8552-23

(7)

Nathalie³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe

5/1

Ran to a similar level in fifth last time at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) compared to her debut at Beverley, but not helped by her rider dropping his whip that day, and should stay the extra two furlongs in front of her today.

Form: 45

(2)

Percipio³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: A King

100/1

Beaten over 15L in both of her starts so far and looks to be the stable's second string (to a newcomer) based on jockey bookings.

Form: 60

(12)

So Sleek³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Spencer| T: L M Cumani| OR: 77| BF

11/4

Hasn't been beaten by more than 2L since her debut, and has looked the sort that could win a maiden of this type. Unlucky not to get off the mark when sent off favourite the last twice and another bold bid can be expected.

Form: 43-332

(11)

Sula Island

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: F Sweeney| T: A King

50/1

Sulamani filly who is a half-sister to two winners over 1m4f on the Flat and a winner over jumps, and so can be expected to see out this trip on debut. The market should prove informative.

Form:

(8)

Tarte Tropezienne³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: W J Haggas

4/1

Shaped with promise on debut at Goodwood last time out (1m2f, good). Step up in trip here should suit and she looked the sort to come on plenty for her first run for much of that first racecourse appearance.

Form: 5

Non-Runners

(1)

Sampaquita³⁶

Weight: 8-12| Age: 3

T: G & J Moore J: Hector Crouch

Forecasts

So Sleek (11/4), Fashion Theory (11/4), Tarte Tropezienne (4/1), Nathalie (5/1), Lady Valdean (6/1), Sampaquita (20/1), Dukinta (25/1), Sula Island (50/1), Kirkland Forever (66/1), Percipio (100/1), Koubba (100/1), Beauchamp Rose (100/1)

A few of these step up in trip today, including NATHALIE, who probably would have shown improvement from her debut at Salisbury last time out had her rider not dropped his whip at a crucial stage, and should enjoy the longer distance she races over today. In possibly her easiest assignment to date, she is taken to get the better of So Sleek, who has gone close in a number of maidens recently, and Fashion Theory, who can find further improvement in first time cheek pieces.
