Lady Lawyer²⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| D

11/10

Won with more in hand than the winning margin suggests from her debut run at Kempton and likely she's got more to offer. The filly is American-bred but has been held back for this sort of ground for her turf debut. Has to be taken seriously.

Form: 1-

Amber Jet

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Quinn| T: J Mackie

66/1

Dream Ahead filly out of a Teofilo mare who was placed in a group race over 7f; has the likes of the mighty sprinter Pipalong in her bloodlines but yard isn't noted for first time out winners.

Form:

Bint Soghaan¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Hannon

4/1

Run to a similar level in both previous starts and overcame slight signs of temperament to finish those races with a flourish. Can make sure this is a good test and likely to be thereabouts again. Weighted to reverse Kempton form with Lady Lawyer.

Form: 2-2

Lyzbeth³⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade

9/1

A good looking sort that made a satisfactory debut at Ascot last September. Been given time to strengthen and fill her frame and is worth checking out in the betting as her yard is hitting home with a series of good results.

Form: 5-

Posted^h⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 85

5/2

Closely matched with Bint Soghaan on a line through Red Armada, an improving type from Clive Cox's yard, but that form does suggest this filly has got a little bit to find at this stage.

Form: 2286-4

Rapture

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson

16/1

€30,000 foal who represents a yard in flying form at present and has a healthy strike-rate with unexposed types too; this filly is bred to get at least a mile but shouldn't be too inconvenienced by this intermediate trip. The betting can guide.

Forecasts

Lady Lawyer (11/10), Posted (5/2), Bint Soghaan (4/1), Lyzbeth (9/1), Rapture (16/1), Amber Jet (66/1)

A tough one to call but the answer might lay with BINT SOGHAAN, who has done little wrong in either of her previous starts and did run on strongly for pressure in her latest outing. The Dark Angel filly gave a flash of her tail when asked for effort so might not be the most straightforward, which gives hope to Lady Lawyer, who won well on debut but has a penalty to carry for those exertions. The concession of 7lb to her old rival Bint Soghaan might be her undoing. Posted doesn't have too much to find with the selection but she in turn needs to raise her game to a new level. Rapture is worth noting with an eye on the future.
