John Betjeman¹⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: T P Queally| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 72

20/1

Placed many times over 7f but has seemed to struggle on both attempts at 1m so this much longer trip is a concern, though ran well all three runs over hurdles last winter.

Make Haste Slowly²²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: D R C Elsworth

14/1

Took a long time to reach the track but eventually did so in pair of bumpers last autumn but seemed to go backwards on the second run. Now trying Flat racing but others make more appeal.

Hey Gracie²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett

9/2

66/1 on debut when eighth of 11 here in October only start for Mark Usher. Interesting stable switch but will need to leave that run behind.

Form: 8-

Tibbie Dunbar⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L P Keniry| T: W S Kittow

25/1

Dam won minor contest at this trip. Mid-division in both runs in bumpers on soft ground in the winter and now switches to AW for Flat debut.

Bo Taifan²³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes

25/1

66/1 when always well behind after a slow start on 6f debut here in October. Yard in fine form but he needs to take a big step forward over this much longer distance.

Form: 0-

Kashi

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

5/2

€22,000 yearling in October 2018. Half-brother to winner from 6f to 1m2f including on AW. Stable could hardly have started in better form and they have a found a weak contest for belated debut.

Form:

(9)

Lemon Song

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: H J L Dunlop

12/1

€30,000 yearling. Sixth foal. Half-brother to a Group 2 winner at this trip. Makes more appeal than most on paper so market watch advised on debut.

Form:

(3)

Cousin Rosaura

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

7/2

Half-sister to eight winners, virtually all at shorter, but sire will bring plenty of stamina and this doesn't look as though it will much winning. Certainly of interest and should play a prominent role.

Form:

(1)

Fluttershy²⁸⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Ryan

100/1

No immediate promise in pair of 7f turf maidens last summer and while this trip should suit on breeding, she will need to show dramatic improvement.

Form: 78-

(4)

Josephine

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone

9/2

Dam was a 7f winner but she has produced Listed 1m2f winner Chain Of Daisies so there is ability in the breeding of this newcomer so market move would be worth noting.

Form:

(11)

Sposabella

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Nicola Currie| T: H Morrison

28/1

Fourth foal and closely related to pair of winners who stayed really well so stamina shouldn't be an issue. This doesn't look too demanding for a start and makes some appeal on paper.

Form:

Forecasts

Kashi (5/2), Cousin Rosaura (7/2), Hey Gracie (9/2), Josephine (9/2), Lemon Song (12/1), Make Haste Slowly (14/1), John Betjeman (20/1), Bo Taifan (25/1), Tibbie Dunbar (25/1), Sposabella (28/1), Cloud Thunder (33/1), Fluttershy (100/1)

This looks the weaker of the two divisions and it will be a surprise it it doesn't go to a newcomer. The betting should tell us plenty but at this stage narrow preference goes to KASHI from a yard that can do no wrong. Josephine and Cousin Rosaura are another pair who make appeal on paper and are also of interest.
