22/1

Foaled April 11. €32,000 yearling, Guiliani filly. Closely related to very smart German 1¼m/10.5f winner Mawingo and half-sister to 3 winners. Makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Forecasts

Orientalism (11/8), Trawlerman (15/8), Daramethos (9/2), Opening Scene (18/1), Bosphorus (20/1), Mickydee (22/1), Moselle Valley (22/1), Cosmic George (50/1), Silver Shade (200/1)

A maiden that wouldn't look out of place at a Group One venue given the connections represented. There are plenty of interesting newcomers but siding with ORIENTALISM, who did little wrong when sent off favourite at Nottingham, looks the best place to start. He should improve and may appreciate this surface. Daramethos and Trawlerman make most appeal of the newcomers.
