Miss Calculation¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Robinson| T: R Menzies| OR: 76

16/1

Made a winning debut at Doncaster (6f) in June. Not up to Group 3 Princess Margaret at Ascot (6f, firm) since but should make more of an impact here. Engaged 5.20 Haydock Sunday.

Form: 19

Chelsea Annie²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: A Keatley| OR: 73| CD

3/1

Promising sort. Came good in 4-runner C&D maiden (good to firm) 21 days ago, deserving credit after conceding first run. Looks capable of better again.

Form: 321

Amouge³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish

22/1

18/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (7f, good) on debut 32 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.

Form: 0

Autumn Angel¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

8/1

14/1, offered something to work on amidst greenness when fifth of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (7f) on debut 16 days ago. Open to improvement.

Form: 5

Breaking Light

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke

10/1

€182,000 Dabirsim sister to smart winner up to 7f Coeur de Beaute and 9f winner Shariq and half-sister to smart 5.5f-7f winner Coeur de Pierre. Very interesting newcomer.

Hopedale

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine

50/1

Vadamos filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner (stayed 1¾m) Connecticut. Best watched on debut unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.

Form:

(4)

Merlin's Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan

11/4

320,000 gns Camelot filly. Sister to very smart 1¼m-12.5f winner Hunting Horn and closely related to 1¼m-13f winner Goodwill. Dam unraced half-sister to High Chaparral. Much respected on debut.

Form:

(7)

Nikhi³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe

9/1

33/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Carlisle (7f, good) on debut 32 days ago. Should be sharper with that behind her but will need improvement.

Form: 7

(2)

Ribaldry^h1¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| BF

16/5

Runner-up in 7f novice events at Haydock and Thirsk (both good to firm) last month. Raced freely both occasions and could have a bigger performance in her if a first-time hood helps her to settle.

Form: 22

Forecasts

Merlin's Lady (11/4), Chelsea Annie (3/1), Ribaldry (16/5), Autumn Angel (8/1), Nikhi (9/1), Breaking Light (10/1), Miss Calculation (16/1), Amouge (22/1), Hopedale (50/1)

A first-time hood looks a good move for the free-going RIBALDRY so she's taken to go one better than on her first 2 starts, although a strong market move for well-bred newcomers Breaking Light and/or Merlin's Lady would put a slightly different slant on things.
