Bellarchi⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 84| D

40/1

Completed a hat-trick with a comfortable success at Hamilton (6f). Fair run in nursery at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) 9 days ago but more needed still up in class now.

Form: 221114

Dorothy Lawrence¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| OR: 100| C

11/2

Won 5f maiden here in July and good efforts up in grade over 6f since, denied only late on after looking like she'd burnt them off at Salisbury last time. Looks all about speed and might struggle to make all in this.

Form: 223142

(5)

Exponista³⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: D Loughnane| OR: 80| D

100/1

Belied market weakness to get off the mark after 12 weeks off in 6f Nottingham fillies' maiden last month, putting her experience to good use. Tons more needed upped to this grade but she's unexposed from a good sprinting family and could outrun her odds.

Form: 271

(1)

Great Generation²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Stefano Cherchi| T: M Botti| OR: 93| D

11/2

Maintained her unbeaten record in the style of a useful prospect at Chester (6f) 3 weeks ago, again proving strong right to the line. Bred for further but this looks her trip now and she can do better again.

Form: 11

(7)

Imperiality⁸¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 82| D

40/1

Much improved after a break as she landed 6f Hamilton maiden 12 weeks ago. Well bred and could do better again for all she has plenty to find in this grade.

Form: 341

(9)

Navassa Island⁴¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: M O'Callaghan| OR: 98| D

9/2

Off the mark in 6f Curragh maiden 6 weeks ago, well drawn the way it went and taking full advantage. That form looks good (second and third won next time) and she's one to consider back up in grade.

Form: 2041

(8)

Pretty Crystal²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 97| D

4/1

Winning start in 6f Ripon fillies' novice and good efforts in the Albany, Princess Margaret and Prestige since (good form behind Darnation). Yard do well in this and she's one to note back over 6f.

Form: 1524

(4)

Prime Art⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: B A Curtis| T: J P Murtagh| D

10/1

Won 13-runner maiden at Naas (5.9f, good to soft, 15/2) 9 days ago, responding well. Boasts some good form (chased home Navassa Island on debut) and could have more to offer.

Form: 441

(2)

Raqiya¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 93| D

9/4

Has made a very good start, easily winning 6f Salisbury and Haydock fillies' novices the last twice. More to come, well worth her place in this grade, and leading claims.

Form: 411

Forecasts

Raqiya (9/4), Pretty Crystal (4/1), Navassa Island (9/2), Great Generation (11/2), Dorothy Lawrence (11/2), Prime Art (10/1), Bellarchi (40/1), Imperiality (40/1), Exponista (100/1)

RAQIYA could be the potential class act here after impressive wins at Salisbury and Haydock and she can come out on top. Pretty Crystal has been holding her own in top fillies' contests and is one to note for Richard Fahey, who has won 2 of the last 3 runnings of this. Exponista could outrun big odds.
