Al Hujaija¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 78| BF

4/1

Fair form. Runner-up for the third time when going down by a neck at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Sure to figure again but vulnerable to something with potential.

Form: 72522

(11)

Apeeling²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: A M Balding

22/1

Fifth in 2 outings over 6f this summer and will need to find a bit of improvement to get heavily involved here.

Form: 55

(12)

Chaumet More¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

22/1

12/1, offered something to work on when sixth of 11 in novice at Haydock (6f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago. Likely to progress.

Form: 6

Forgotten Treasure^h²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: W J Knight

200/1

Down the field in 2 outings last month (C&D first occasion), pulling too hard on both occasions. Needs to settle down.

Form: 80

Free As A Bird

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker

28/1

Showcasing filly. Sister to very smart winner up to 7f Tasleet and 2-y-o 6f winner Lady Light and half-sister to useful 6f-9f winner Makaamen. Makes paper appeal and one to note in the betting.

Form:

Kurimu³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: C A Dwyer

100/1

More one for handicaps judged on her 2 runs nearly 4 months apart.

Little Siskin

Lou Lou's Gift

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas

13/2

Lope De Vega filly. Half-sister to smart 1m winner Mighty Ulysses. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Top stable has won this race 3 times with a debutante since 2017.

Romantic Style²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

6/4

9/2, green when seventh of 16 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, never nearer. Rates a sure-fire improver for top yard.

Form: 7

Run For The Sun⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: E A L Dunlop

3/1

Promising type. 25/1, second of 9 in C&D maiden (good to firm) on debut 42 days ago, finishing to good effect having run green in the early stages. Open to improvement.

Form: 2

Scarlet Lady⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride

125/1

22/1, last of 7 in novice at Carlisle (6f, soft) on debut 7 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind.

Form: 7

Urban Love⁴²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: G G Margarson

200/1, sixth of 9 in C&D maiden (good to firm) on debut 42 days ago.

Forecasts

Romantic Style (6/4), Run For The Sun (3/1), Al Hujaija (4/1), Lou Lou's Gift (13/2), Gogo Yubari (12/1), Apeeling (22/1), Chaumet More (22/1), Free As A Bird (28/1), Little Siskin (33/1), Kurimu (100/1), Scarlet Lady (125/1), Urban Love (125/1), Forgotten Treasure (200/1)

The excellent record of the William Haggas yard with newcomers in this race swings the vote the way of LOU LOU'S GIFT, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Run For The Sun and Romantic Style should have more to offer on the back of promising debuts and are feared most ahead of the more established Al Hujaija.
