Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L P Keniry| T: M S Saunders

100/1

Sister to Amberine - a winner over 51/2f for this yard as a four-year-old - as well as being a half-sister to Titus Secret, a 6f winner on the AW. Yard quiet and likely the filly will be a lot sharper for a run.

1/3

Won well on debut at Windsor but was found out in a decent race at York last summer. Significant drop in class here and has to merit an interest. Top yard going well just now. A player.

Circle Of Stars⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: C Fellowes

14/1

Seventh of 13 here on debut over C&D needs to be improved upon. His dam is a half-sister to classy miler Soviet Song; reasonable to expect the gelding will do better over slightly further when he steps into handicaps.

Cristal Breeze

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas

7/1

Cost 33,000 gns and is a half-brother to French 5f winner My Sapphire and Duck Egg Blkue, a winner over 7f and a mile; his dam also won over 1m. Yard always respected with debutantes. A betting check can help.

George Formby²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: H Palmer

25/1

Cost €36,000 as a yearling; debut run was a quiet introduction over C&D but the gelding still needs to step up on that run by some way. Might just need more experience.

Tribune¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Mahon⁽³⁾| T: S Kirk

66/1

Winners in his pedigree and showed some improvement from his debut run when third over an extended 9f at Wolverhampton last month. Might already need a longer trip.

Form: 5-3

You Little Ripper⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Fahy| T: P W Chapple-Hyam

7/2

Solid effort at Newcastle in January was a marked improvement from the colt's debut in Newmarket maiden at the back end of the last turf season. He's a brother to Group 1 winner Dick Whittington as well as a winner on the AW; one to consider.

Form: 6-2

Bighearted^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell

33/1

Bred to get at least a mile and half and very possible this is a bit of a fact finding mission over this trip. Worth a betting check but the fitting of a hood on his debut run is off-putting.

Huddle¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: W J Knight

40/1

Got going late in the day on debut at Lingfield (over 1m) last month; and should have more to offer. Breeding suggests a longer trip could be beneficial though.

Form: 5

Je M'en Fous¹⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: P R Chamings

100/1

Dam made little impact in middle distance maidens and this fellow was also hardly an eye-catcher on debut over C&D last November. Big improvement required.

Form: 0-

Storm Girl³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M J Attwater

150/1

Not much to take as a positive from two well beaten starts over C&D since the turn of the year (both at odds of 100/1); very hard to recommend here too.

Form: 07

Masaru (1/3), You Little Ripper (7/2), Cristal Breeze (7/1), Circle Of Stars (14/1), George Formby (25/1), Bighearted (33/1), Huddle (40/1), Tribune (66/1), Je M'en Fous (100/1), Scarlet Red (100/1), Storm Girl (150/1)

MASARU, who is out of a half-sister to classy sprinter Swiss lake, was a comfortable winner on debut last season and was then a well backed favourite for a valuable race at York last August. This is a lot easier than that Knavesmire assignment and the colt can get his season off to a flyer if he's trained on. You Little Ripper posted an improved effort last time and is respected as a big threat to the selection, while Cristal Breeze appeals on breeding and is an interesting debutante to note in the betting.
