Barbara Villiers⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

13/8

Will know more about the game having run with credit at Wolverhampton on her racecourse bow last week. This daughter of Champs Elysees will win races but this might be just a little too tough for now.

Form: 3

Braganza

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: E A L Dunlop

20/1

Sales price dropped from 33,000 foal to 17,500 guineas yearling. Debut today for this daughter of Nathaniel whose dam is a half-sister to the high-class Spinning Queen. Likely to improve for the run and appreciate the outing.

Calypso Blue^p1¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: C Appleby| BF

15/8

By top class sire Dubawi. Dam from family of Arc winner Hernando, so looks the part on paper. Beaten favourite but fair fourth on recent debut at Wolverhampton and should improve with that experience to call on. Looks a leading contender.

Form: 4

(5)

Come With Me^t¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

8/1

Only one good effort in four starts to date for this Dansili filly. Failed to shine on A/W debut last time when beating just one home. No forlorn hope, but has to start getting her act together.

Form: 5020

(3)

Ejtyah

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

7/2

Daughter of the great Frankel who makes her racecourse debut here. May attract market interest given pedigree, but dam was a disappointing sort. Yard in fair form this winter so any market interest might be significant.

Forecasts

Barbara Villiers (13/8), Heather Lark (7/4), Calypso Blue (15/8), Ejtyah (7/2), Come With Me (8/1), Braganza (20/1)

This looks a trappy race but the vote goes to Godolphin's CALYPSO BLUE who shaped with promise when fourth on her recent racecourse bow. With the cheekpieces on now she may be good enough to repel Heather Lark, who looks a big danger after two decent runs of late. There may be better to come from Barbara Villiers, and the market should give us a hint as to what is expected from newcomer Braganza, a daughter of Nathaniel.
