Desejada

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Butler

66/1

1,500 gns foal, £30,000 yearling, Ulysses filly. Closely related to 9.5f/10.4f winner Mafia Power and half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Farandine. Market can guide for this newcomer.

Ya Hafhd

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Varian

8/1

Sea The Stars filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Daoub. Dam, 9f/1¼m winner, half-sister to dams of Irish 2000 Guineas winner Awtaad and Derby runner-up Madhmoon. In very good hands and of obvious interest on her debut, especially if the market vibes are positive.

Forecasts

Clan Chieftain (6/4), Shadow Of War (10/3), Seendid (7/2), Ya Hafhd (8/1), Governor Of India (8/1), Golden Delite (28/1), Tujjaar (28/1), Leitrim Rock (66/1), Desejada (66/1)

A fair bit of potential on show but it's hard to ignore the claims of CLAN CHIEFTAIN who looked a good prospect when going in at Chepstow and can successfully concede weight all round. Governor of India shaped really well first time up when fourth at Haydock so can have a say along with the progressive Seendid and newcomer Ya Hafhd.
