Mistral Song⁶⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: M Blanshard

66/1

Hasn't shown a great deal in two Fontwell bumpers and would be a surprise if this mare is good enough to make a winning debut on the Flat.

Eagle Queen³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Harry Bentley| T: A M Balding

7/2

Comes from a good family but only limited promise on debut over C&D last month. More than likely to have come on for the run though so would not surprise to see her do rather better this time.

Form: 9

Jomrok

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P J Dobbs| T: Owen Burrows

9/2

75,000 guineas daughter of Mukhaddram out of Oaks third. Makes racecourse debut and wouldn't have to be a superstar to score. Yard slowly emerging from quiet spell.

Lady Elysia²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Mitch Godwin⁽³⁾| T: H J L Dunlop

33/1

Has beaten ony one home in each of her two starts, although ran better for much of the trip last time at Bath. Looks one more for handicaps in the future unless market suggests otherwise.

Form: 03

Mina Vagante¹⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: H Palmer

11/2

Interesting pedigree with bags of stamina on the dam's side. Made promising debut when seventh of 13 over 7f at Lingfield in December, beaten little more than five lengths. Step up in trip looks sure to suit and should be there or thereabouts.

Form: 7-

Mini Milk

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman

20/1

Doesn't jump off the page on pedigree and yard has just 6% winning strike rate at this venue. Expected to benefit for the experience. and may struggle.

Miss Harriett²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: W S Kittow

66/1

Has found life tough in two starts so far and this daughter of a winning point-to-pointer seems set to again find things happening plenty quick enough for her.

Form: 06

Sharqi^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Nicola Currie| T: Jean-Rene Auvray

50/1

£4,500 daughter of US sire Kitten's Joy makes her racecourse debut. Yard without a winner for nearly three months and on balance others are readily preferred.

Form:

Tatweej⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: K Shoemark| T: Owen Burrows

8/1

Stable companion of Jomrok. Fair fourth on debut at Newmarket in April although beaten 13 lengths. Winner close second in listed company since and runner-up scooted in a Ripon maiden last time so form looks solid. One for the shortlist.

Form: 4

Tribal Craft¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

11/8

Stable companion of Eagle Queen. Ran an encouraging first race when sixth in Sandown 1m2f maiden, keeping on steadily through final quarter mile. Faces very different ground here but may not be at all far away.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Tribal Craft (11/8), Eagle Queen (7/2), Jomrok (9/2), Mina Vagante (11/2), Tatweej (8/1), Mini Milk (20/1), Compassionate (20/1), Lady Elysia (33/1), Sharqi (50/1), Mistral Song (66/1), Miss Harriett (66/1)

Andrew Balding's pair of Tribal Craft and Eagle Queen are both potential players in a trappy affair, while the Owen Burrows pair of Jomrok and Tatweej are also candidates, the form of the latter's debut run having worked out well. A chance is taken though on MINA VAGANTE who should appreciate the step up in trip having shaped nicely on debut over 7f at Lingfield. With the champion jockey on board she holds decent claims.
