Selected odds by:

(8)

Elegant Friend²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: C Appleby

7/2

Once-raced filly. Eighth of 14 in minor event (9/2) at Leicester (7f, soft) on debut 28 days ago. Likely to leave that form well behind in time for his powerful connections.

Form: 8

(2)

Inkara¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox

40/1

Twice-raced filly. 12/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 58

(7)

Lady Masar¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S A Gray| T: K R Burke

80/1

Once-raced filly. 33/1, last of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 14 days ago. Big step forward will be needed if she's to feature prominently here.

Form: 8

(6)

Salamanca City²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J R Fanshawe

16/5

Once-raced filly. 17/2, fourth of 14 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 27 days ago, running on late. Yard's 2-y-os usually come on for a run and this filly is likely to be no different, so she's one to consider.

Form: 4

(3)

Secret World

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: C Johnston

28/1

Foaled February 17. Dark Angel filly. Dam French maiden half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Billesdon Brook, who won 1000 Guineas/Sun Chariot Stakes. Lots to like on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour.

Form:

(4)

Spinto Soprano³³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett

1/1

Promising individual. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut 33 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer for yard enjoying a fine season with its 2-y-os.

Form: 5

(1)

Stars Away

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

7/1

Foaled May 2. Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 7f/1m winner Baltic Coast. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to Coventry Stakes winner Rajasinghe. Top yard can ready a newcomer and she needs close attention in the betting.

Form:

(9)

The Real McKay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado

200/1

Foaled May 26. €40,000 yearling, Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 4f-7f winner Gamgoom and 2-y-o 6f winner Impulsion. Yard rarely strikes with 2-y-o newcomers.

Form:

(5)

Zousca

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

28/1

Foaled April 20. €24,000 foal, €40,000 yearling, Zoustar filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7f Yuan Prince. Dam, 7f winner, sister to smart sprinter Move In Time. By no means devoid of appeal on paper and market should point the way.

Form:

Forecasts

Spinto Soprano (1/1), Salamanca City (16/5), Elegant Friend (7/2), Stars Away (7/1), Secret World (28/1), Zousca (28/1), Inkara (40/1), Lady Masar (80/1), The Real McKay (200/1)

SPINTO SOPRANO looked in need of the experience when fifth behind her better-fancied stablemate Skellet in a useful-looking Salisbury maiden on debut last month. She will be more street-wise this time and is taken to add to the Ralph Beckett yard's impressive haul of 2-y-o winners in 2023. Salamanca City and Elegant Friend are likely improvers too, and are feared most in that order of preference, while newcomers Secret World and Stars Away are both appealing on paper.
