7/2

Has shown degrees of promise in four runs so far, though beaten favourite on previous three starts, latest on soft ground at Musselburgh over 7f. Blinkers tried now dropping in trip.

Form: 4625

Makambe¹⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: C Hills

25/1

Bit keen on second start at Salisbury (6f, good to firm), has scope to do better if settling and not overlooked despite having improvement to find.

Form: 07

Prince Maurice

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: J Noseda

14/1

A colt out of The Factor, cost $80,000 as a yearling and has interesting US-based pedigree, one of two newcomers for trainer and needs to be paid attention.

Tiepolo¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore

5/1

Ran from the front on debut over C&D in June, weakening very quickly, but improved effort from off the pace at Brighton this month when second over this trip on good to firm. Earns consideration on strength of that showing.

Form: 02

Angel's Whisper

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: G Mosse| T: J Noseda

13/2

Dark Angel filly cost €57,000 as a yearling before fetching £85,000 as a 2yo. She is one of two newcomers here for a trainer adept at having one ready to go.

Bint Huwaar

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: G Peckham

10/1

More Than Ready filly cost $390,000 as a yearling and then changed hands for $1,000,000 as a 2yo. Half-sister to multiple winners and warrants attention for this debut run.

Form:

(9)

Goodbye Lulu

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker

28/1

Exceed And Excel filly, cost 80,000 gns as a yearling. Trainer's runners often need their debut but plenty to like about her pedigree and betting market likely to be revealing with regards to her chance.

Form:

(3)

Lamya⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

6/4

Choisir filly, cost €30,000 as a yearling and bought for 260,000 gns as a two-year-old. Not beaten that far at Newmarket on debut but winner and runner-up not done a whole lot for the form subsequently. Second Hannon runner here.

Form: 6

Rock Chic

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: F Sweeney| T: B R Millman

40/1

Pastoral Pursuits filly makes debut here and doesn't look to have been found the easiest starting place, others make more appeal on paper.

Forecasts

Lamya (6/4), Collateral (7/2), Tiepolo (5/1), Angel's Whisper (13/2), Bint Huwaar (10/1), Prince Maurice (14/1), Princely (16/1), Makambe (25/1), Goodbye Lulu (28/1), Rock Chic (40/1)

Those with form do not set an exacting standard, so plenty attention should be paid to the newcomers. Collateral has shown promise in four outings, but has already become expensive to follow while Lamya could well improve on a decent first effort at Newmarket, though that form hasn't exactly worked out strongly. Stablemates Angel's Whisper and Prince Maurice could be capable of big debut runs but the expensive American-bred filly BINT HUWAAR is entitled to claims on paper and could prove up to winning this firs time out.
