Selected odds by:

(2)

Moving Colours¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: C Appleby| OR: 70

9/4

Frankel filly from the family of Poet's Voice. Shaped better when fourth of 11 in minor event at Haydock on her second outing and wasn't particularly well placed last time, so she ranks high on the shortlist from fair-looking opening mark.

Form: 746

(6)

Bonnsie³⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J G Portman| OR: 70

9/1

Latest win at Kempton in September. Not disgraced when chasing home less exposed rivals to finish fourth of 10 in nursery at this C&D 37 days ago, though again could prove bit vulnerable to improvers.

Form: 156194

(3)

Klimova¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 70

17/2

Steadily progressive across 3 starts so far, appreciating the step up to 10f when an encouraging sixth of 13 in maiden at Lingfield (AW) 14 days ago. Drop back in trip here isn't an obvious plus, for all she remains open to further improvement.

Form: 636

(7)

Mickey Donovan^v1⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: P D Evans| OR: 68

28/1

Looked laboured despite finishing second at Yarmouth on penultimate outing and again went with little fluency when eighth of 10 in nursery (14/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) 45 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive.

Form: 868628

(5)

Gincident⁵³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

4/1

Improved again when second of 10 in nursery at Southwell (7.1f) 53 days ago, never nearer. Up in trip. Progressing recently, though lack of pace in this field is minor concern for this hold-up sort.

Form: 356742

(1)

Twilight Kiss¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Dylan Hogan| T: M Botti| OR: 68

12/1

Proved consistent rather than progressive in minor events, not settling fully when seventh of 14 at Kempton (8f, 28/1) 17 days ago. Enters nurseries on a fair-looking mark.

Form: 457

(9)

Spider Murphy²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Jordan Williams⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 67

125/1

Nearly caused a shock when a close second at Leicester on debut but has gone the wrong way in 3 starts since, never on terms when tenth of 11 in nursery at this course (7.2f) 28 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 2790

(4)

Emperor Zen²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: George Wood| T: J Butler| OR: 66

13/2

Improved when third of 10 in nursery at Kempton (7f, 7/1) 24 days ago, nearest at finish. Promises to be suited by this longer trip and can step forward again here.

Form: 7603

(10)

Manuha^b²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 65

10/1

Shaped better than distance beaten suggests when fifth of 11 in nursery (9/2) at this course (7.2f) 28 days ago, weakening late after racing wide. Back up in trip. Not discounted.

Form: 533265

(8)

Berwick Law^p1²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 64

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Showed bit more when fifth of 10 in nursery at Chelmsford City (8f, 14/1) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Appeals as the type to make more impact over middle distances next year.

Form: 0045

(11)

Zaakara⁶⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: George Rooke| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 62

16/1

Learning gradually across 4 starts to date, very much shaping like a middle distance type when third of 4 in nursery at Pontefract (8f, good) 65 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 5553

Forecasts

Moving Colours (9/4), Gincident (4/1), Emperor Zen (13/2), Klimova (17/2), Bonnsie (9/1), Manuha (10/1), Twilight Kiss (12/1), Berwick Law (12/1), Zaakara (16/1), Mickey Donovan (28/1), Spider Murphy (125/1)

Godolphin's MOVING COLOURS hails from a good family and looks to have been handed a lenient opening mark, so is fancied to notch her first success here. Emperor Zen, who improved on his nursery debut last time, and Southwell runner-up Gincident rate as the chief threats.
