Almareekh²³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute

7/2

$950,000 yearling; sister to the 7f Listed winner Whitecliffsofdover, and a half-sister the three other winners; no obvious excuses for a mid-division finish here (7f) on sole juvenile start; still very early days in her racing career.

Form: 7-

(8)

Bay May

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: B R Johnson

100/1

5,500gns yearling; seventh foal from an unraced half-sister to the 1m4f Group 2 winner Dandino; half-sister to two other winners, including the 6f-1m½f Fibresand scorer Robero; others preferred here.

Fairy Lachy^b1¹²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Quinn| T: M Botti

100/1

Half-sister to two winners in Italy; finished out the back behind a pair of Godolphin inmates on debut (80-1) at Wolverhampton (1m1½f) in February; blinkers applied for second career start; stablemate of Promises.

Form: 0

First Kingdom²²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan| T: W J Haggas

10/3

By Frankel from the Group-placed 6f AW winner Simple Magic; weakened inside the final furlong when finishing seventh of 12 to stablemate With Thanks on debut at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November.

Form: 7-

(13)

French Battle

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: E F Vaughan

10/1

$45,000 foal, €160,000 yearling; 11th foal from an unraced half-sister to the US Grade 3 (1m1f) winner Millions; winning siblings include Elusive City (6f Group 1 as 2yo) and Terhaab (6f AW); merits a market check on pedigree.

Form:

(4)

Knapsack¹⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: C G Cox

18/1

By Nathaniel (€45,000 yearling); sent off at 16-1 when finishing fifth of 11 to Noble Dawn on Wolverhampton (7f) debut; must take a sizeable step forward in order to play any form of constructive role.

Form: 5-

(11)

Paradise On Earth

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden

13/2

125,000gns foal, €225,000 yearling; third foal from the Group-placed 1m1f winner Rainbow Springs; reasonably interesting on debut, although possibly the stable second-string behind Wolflet.

Form:

(1)

Party Planner¹²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: E J Walsh| T: R Varian

33/1

By Mastercraftsman from a maiden dam; slowly away and always in rear (14-1) on debut at Newcastle (1m) four months ago; stablemate of the much more appealing Ligera.

Form: 8

(7)

Princess Carly³⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: J R Best

125/1

Struggled to make any form of impression on debut at Windsor (6f, good) last summer; absent since and therefore is very difficult to recommend on debut for John Best; probable back-marker.

Form: 0-

(5)

Promises

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: G C O'Neill⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti

28/1

€26,000 yearling; third foal from an unraced half-sister to the 1m US Grade 2/1m2f GB Group 3 winner Aviate; stablemate of the blinkered Fairy Lachy.

Form:

(14)

Sheltered

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe

33/1

By Dutch Art out of the 1m-1m2f winner Cosseted (a sister to the 6f Group 3 winner Keystroke); has been done no favours whatsoever by the widest draw of all in stall 14.

Form:

(2)

Wolflet¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden

13/8

Lope De Vega filly from the 1m2f-1m4f winner Martlet (sister to the 1m1f-1m2f winner Keswick); slowly got the message after demonstrating clear signs of greeness on Newmarket debut (7f, good to firm) ten days ago; should improve and can take a hand.

Forecasts

Wolflet (13/8), First Kingdom (10/3), Almareekh (7/2), Paradise On Earth (13/2), Ligera (7/1), French Battle (10/1), Knapsack (18/1), Restricted Access (25/1), Promises (28/1), Party Planner (33/1), Sheltered (33/1), Bay May (100/1), Fairy Lachy (100/1), Princess Carly (125/1)

WOLFLET steadily got the message after demonstrating signs of greeness on debut at Newmarket (7f) ten days ago, and is fancied to improve significantly for that experience now stepping up in trip. With Rab Havlin in the saddle she appears to be the primary contender from the Gosden stable, although we're yet to see her stablemate Paradise On Earth in competitive action. Of the remainder, both First Kingdom and Almareekh didn't exactly sparkle on their respective racecourse debuts, although it's still very early days and it remains feasible either filly could take the necessary steps forward, while the US-bred French Battle also merits market inspection.
