The Jungle Vip

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

9/2

Cheap purchase but from a top yard and has several decent types in his bloodlines. Likely to do better over further but can only benefit from this experience.

Form:

German Bight

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: T Eaves| T: K Dalgleish

7/1

A March foal who cost £13,000, she's a half-sister to a 1m/1m2fr winner and looks certain to get better with age. Yard going, however, and very capable of having one ready, so she would have to be of interest if the market vibes are positive.

Form:

(8)

Amity Island²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears

25/1

Cost 1,800 gns and made an inauspicious start at Newcastle last month. Big improvement already required and difficult to recommend for betting purposes just now.

Form: 9

(3)

Ipcress File¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon

4/1

Cost 6,000 gns and is a half-brother to winners over sprint distances. Debut at Brighton was a fair effort but not good when tried at Kempton at the start of this month. Qualifies for a mark after this and will probably do better next year.

Form: 36

(6)

Goldfox Girl²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: A Mullen| T: M Appleby

3/1

Cost just £1,000 but has a solid frame to fill and looks sure to make strides once she strengthens up. Her debut run at Newmarket was encouraging, however, and she may well leave that effort well behind. Well worth a betting check.

Form: 6

(7)

Mischievous Rock

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby

14/1

February foal, the filly has a very likable pedigree, so market support could be interesting. However, jockey bookings suggest Goldfox Girl is the stable' main hop and she looks one for the notebook on this occasion.

Form:

(2)

Molliana¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: N Mackay| T: N P Mulholland

100/1

Poor efforts in both starts so far and very hard to get enthusiastic about the evidence available in the form book. Other much more appealing.

Form: 00

(1)

She's Royal¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: J Fanning| T: B Smart

11/4

Went for just £800 as a yearling but has shown bits of promise - latest effort her best so far puts her on a mark of 70 for future handicaps. This may be a bit tougher and, as it also marks her debut on this surface, she has a good bit to prove.

Form: 763

Forecasts

She's Royal (11/4), Goldfox Girl (3/1), Ipcress File (4/1), The Jungle Vip (9/2), German Bight (7/1), Mischievous Rock (14/1), Amity Island (25/1), Molliana (100/1)

Not the strongest of contests, which may be beneficial for GERMAN Bight, who is bred to get a bit further than this but, with her stable in good form, she may well have been well placed for this racecourse debut. Goldfox Girl makes more appeal than stablemate Mischievous Rock just for the time being and is feared most from the rest. She's Royal was a well beaten third last time but showed a willing attitude, so could feasibly reach the frame if posting a bit more of a determined effort.
