Country Carnival²²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| D

13/2

30,000 gns Mayson filly; improved nicely on second start to win at Beverley (5f, good) in decisive fashion. She will likely need another step forward now but could be capable of it.

Form: 41

Furlong Factor⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| D

11/1

Adaay filly, got on the board third time of asking in Chepstow novice (5f, good; 11-8f) nine days ago; will have to step up on that bare form but the booking of Oisin Murphy certainly helps.

Form: 331

Miss Nay Never¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

6/1

Cost €140,000 and this No Nay Never filly has no want for speed on pedigree; her debut third at Thirsk (6f, good, good to soft; 12-1) was probably a decent effort. Can build on that now dropped to minimum distance.

Form: 3

(3)

Pelekai¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| D

8/1

All the way winner on debut at Newcastle (5f, AW; 5-2) last month before finding things happening too quickly in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot 18 days later. Sights are lowered now but likely still finds herself needing to improve.

Form: 10

(8)

Sands Of Time¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Connor Beasley| T: C & M Johnston| D

7/1

Made light work of a Lingfield maiden (5f, AW; 10-3) on debut last month but in trouble from halfway in the Queen Mary 13 days later at Royal Ascot (sent off 10-1). Calmer waters now and no doubt plenty more to come.

Form: 10

(7)

Sardinia Sunset¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Watson| T: R Varian

10/11

A £95,000 Gutaifan filly, she was a good second to Sacred (Queen Mary runner-up since) on debut last month and then ran an excellent fourth herself in that same Royal Ascot contest. Leading form claims on that evidence.

Form: 24

Forecasts

Sardinia Sunset (10/11), Miss Nay Never (6/1), Country Carnival (13/2), Sands Of Time (7/1), Pelekai (8/1), Different Face (8/1), Blackberry (8/1), Furlong Factor (11/1), Bungledupinblue (16/1)

A maiden she is but SARDINIA SUNSET seemingly sets the bar at a reasonable standard no less. She was second behind Sacred on debut at Newmarket last month before they finished second and fourth respectively in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot. The third won nicely at Windsor on Monday and Roger Varian's filly can take this Listed contest to open her account. Six of her rivals are winners already, with Blackberry doing things nicely on debut at Hamilton and a likely improver now, while Miss Nay Never was only third at Thirsk but that came behind two fine prospects and she may harbour similar aspirations now.
