Misemerald²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: A Mullen| T: P A Kirby| OR: 82| C| D

2/1

Thrice-raced winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. 4/1, won 5-runner minor event at this course (6f, good) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and she has to enter calculations, despite conceding weight all round.

Form: 311

After Time

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Barry McHugh| T: K A Ryan

22/1

Foaled February 10. €42,000 yearling, Le Brivido filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 7f), half-sister to useful winner up to 8.6f Fox Power out of useful 2-y-o 6f-1m winner Zenella. Likely type on paper and market should point the way.

Capellina

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods

8/1

Foaled March 18. 40,000 gns yearling, Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 5f winner Agent Shiftwell and 1m winner Shifter. Interesting to see what the market has to say.

Evanwood

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara

12/1

Foaled April 19. £40,000 yearling, Zoffany filly. Half-sister to 11f winner Al Ghanim. Yard can ready a newcomer and confidence behind her in the betting should be heeded.

Flow So Gently

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: I Jardine

22/1

Foaled March 28. Saxon Warrior filly. Half-sister to 1¼m-12.5f winner Sophiesticate. Yard's strike rate with newcomers suggests that this one is probably best watched first time out.

(1)

Francophone

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston

5/1

Foaled April 9. Study of Man filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Star of Mayo. Represents a top yard and interest levels will be heightened if the market speaks in her favour.

Roman Secret¹⁶

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

13/8

Promising individual. 4/1, second of 7 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, soft) on debut 16 days ago, not knocked about. Moving up in trip looks a good move and she's a major player.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Roman Secret (13/8), Misemerald (2/1), Francophone (5/1), Capellina (8/1), Evanwood (12/1), After Time (22/1), Flow So Gently (22/1)

While there are several appealing newcomers on show, ROMAN SECRET shaped like a ready-made future winner when chasing home an experienced rival in Snafiya (winner again since) on debut at Doncaster last month. She will benefit from this step up in trip and should prove hard to beat. Francophone, After Time, Evanwood and Capellina (in order of preference) all need close attention in the betting, while the hat-trick seeking Misemerald should give another good account, despite carrying a penalty.
