Cuban Spirit¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: H Candy

33/1

Harbour Watch gelding, cost £16,000 as a yearling. Dam a winner over 5f. Green and well beaten on debut. More needed in this company and may need more time.

Form: 0

(2)

Glenglade²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: I Mohammed

5/4

Shamardal colt, cost 80,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to two winners and dam a Listed winner. Improved from debut to finish runner-up at Haydock last time, still displaying signs of inexperience. Should improve.

Form: 62

(6)

Racing Country^h1¹¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Edward Greatrex| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 88

9/4

Ran well on dirt in Meydan this winter and not disgraced in a Listed race on turf at that course in March. That run sets the standard on form for his rivals here and wears a first-time hood on return to the UK.

Form: 4-28070

(7)

Spirit Of Buxted

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: L M Cumani

8/1

Equiano colt, cost 20,000 gns as a foal and 80,000 gns as a yearling. Half-brother to a Listed winner. Makes appeal on paper and he's in good hands but he's been set a tough ask on debut here.

Billie Beane¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: Dr J D Scargill

40/1

Sir Percy filly, dam a half-sister to a Group 3 winner over this trip. Looked green and only showed minor promise on debut here earlier in the month. Will need to have learnt plenty from that to be a factor here.

Form: 6

(1)

Geranium¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: H Morrison

25/1

Sakhee's Secret filly, cost £3,800 as a yearling. Dam a Listed winner over this trip and half-sister to another winner over the trip. Has shaped like she may want a step up in trip on her two starts here and qualifies for a mark after this.

Form: 07

(8)

Hateel²³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: W J Haggas

7/2

Kodiac filly, cost 260,000 gns as a yearling. Related to several winners including a Listed winner over further. Shaped with plenty of promise on debut here as a juvenile and there's every chance she will improve. Market support worth noting.

Form: 3-

(5)

Lady Tulip²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M M Monaghan⁽³⁾| T: C F Wall

40/1

Lord Shanakill filly, cost 3,000 gns as a yearling. Dam a winner and half-sister to US Grade 3 winner over further. Showed very little on debut at Yarmouth when unfancied and drop in trip unlikely to make much difference here.

Form: 0

(4)

Patienceisavirtue^h²⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs C A Dunnett

200/1

Libranno filly, cost 800 gns as a yearling. Shown very little in two starts to date and hard to fancy on all known form.

Form: 68-

Forecasts

Glenglade (5/4), Racing Country (9/4), Hateel (7/2), Spirit Of Buxted (8/1), Geranium (25/1), Cuban Spirit (33/1), Billie Beane (40/1), Lady Tulip (40/1), Patienceisavirtue (200/1)

RACING COUNTRY may be ahead of several of his rivals here with all his experience at Meydan towards the start of the year and he sets a solid standard on the run that saw him finish seventh in Listed company in March. Hateel was an expensive purchase who displayed plenty of promise here on debut; it would be no surprise to see the filly improve again. Of the remainder, Glenglade improved last time and should take another step forward.
