5/1

Half-sister to useful hurdler Zanjabeel. A fair maiden on Flat for Charlie Johnston, good second in 14f Thirsk handicap in July. Changed hands since for 19,000 gns and displayed aptitude for hurdling with a brace of runner-up efforts at Fontwell.

Fairly useful form over hurdles, best effort when 11 lengths third of 8 to Funny Berry in listed event at Auteuil in 2022/23.Off over 4 months and in first-time cheekpieces when19 lengths fourth of 8 to Sissi du Mesnil in similar event there last time. Sets very clear standard.

22/1

Modest maiden on Flat (stays 1m) for Mike Murphy & Michael Keady. Had wind surgery head of hurdles debut and displayed ability in a race in which little went right for her at Stratford. Tongue tie and didn't seem to last out over 17.7f at Fontwell.

Form: 33

Majestic Jameela⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR: 90

7/1

Modest performer on Flat but well supported when good second of 8 in Aintree juvenile (16.5f) on hurdles debut in June. Not quite at that level both starts since in this sphere but she still needs considering.

Rebecca West¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Alexandra Dunn

200/1

Form:

Royal Athena⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: H Cobden| T: James Owen

9/2

Fair handicapper on Flat, stays 13.5f, below form last time. Sold from Tom Ward 12,000 gns in September and stamina won't be an issue in this sphere.

Form:

Tamay Girl¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Conor Ring⁽³⁾| T: Alexandra Dunn

150/1

Virginia Lodge

Age: 3| Weight: 11-0| J: Tristan Durrell⁽⁵⁾| T: D Skelton

25/1

Berkshire filly. Dam (h122), 21f-23f hurdle winner, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (winner around 2m) Kimberley Point. In top hands so a market check is vital on debut

Form:

Forecasts

Kundaline (4/5), Royal Athena (9/2), Grain Of Hope (5/1), Majestic Jameela (7/1), Limelight (22/1), Al Sayah (22/1), Virginia Lodge (25/1), Northern Rose (28/1), Tamay Girl (150/1), Rebecca West (200/1), All Blues (200/1)

KUNDALINE sets a high standard on her French form, performing with credit in listed company, and she can make the journey across the Channel worthwhile for connections. Majestic Jameela can chase her home unless the market suggests debutante Virginia Lodge is pretty useful.
