Queen Of Deauville²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 83

10/3

Beat 4 other newcomers when comfortably winning a 5f Carlisle novice (soft) on debut in May. Found the Queen Mary too hot last time but got back on track when third in 6f nursery at Haydock 4 weeks ago. Respected nudged up 1 lb.

Form: 103

(6)

Immortal Beauty²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 78

5/1

Improved on her debut form at the second attempt when runner-up in 13-runner maiden (14/1) at Ffos Las (6f, good) 25 days ago, running on. Opening mark looks fair based on that, so she's a player.

Form: 362

Liberation Bay¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 77| D

15/2

Resumed winning ways with a determined effort in 8-runner novice event at Lingfield (6f, AW) 17 days ago, digging deep. Looks to have been handed a stiff enough opening mark though, so further progress required.

Form: 83121

Glorious Angel¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: H Palmer| OR: 76| BF| D

12/1

Winner at Redcar in May and was quickly back to a similar level when second at Catterick (5f, good to firm) 17 days ago, seen to good effect from the front. Disappointed (too free) on her handicap debut at Haydock 2 starts back but should give a better account this time.

Form: 344162

Fox Degree¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: L Dettori| T: R M Beckett| OR: 75

9/4

Improved to make a winning nursery debut in 5-runner event at Ffos Las (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago, staying on well. That form has been franked by the third since, so a 6 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up.

Form: 3341

(7)

Queen Of Uplands²³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 73

11/2

Ran best race when second of 10 in novice event at Newbury (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. The winner of that race has gone in again since, so she commands respect on handicap debut.

Form: 582

(8)

Transfer Affection¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Cieren Fallon| T: K A Ryan| OR: 70

14/1

Showed the benefit of her debut run when second in a 5f novice at Beverley at the beginning of this month. However, failed to repeat that effort back up in trip at Doncaster 2 weeks ago, so bounce back called for on handicap debut.

Form: 436

(2)

Comedian Leader⁵⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-3| J: J Quinn| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 63

33/1

Lightly-raced maiden who got back on track in first-time blinkers dropped to a seller when second of 4 at Goodwood (5f, good) 55 days ago. Makes handicap debut on first run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes and more needed.

Form: 4652

Forecasts

Fox Degree (9/4), Queen Of Deauville (10/3), Immortal Beauty (5/1), Queen Of Uplands (11/2), Liberation Bay (15/2), Glorious Angel (12/1), Transfer Affection (14/1), Comedian Leader (33/1)

FOX DEGREE made a winning nursery debut in good style at Ffos Las 19 days ago and, with the early signs from that race positive (third won next time), a 6 lb rise seems unlikely to prevent the follow up. Queen of Deauville and Immortal Beauty head the dangers in that order.
