€310,000 yearling. Half-brother to 9f winner Instant Update and smart winner up to 1m Making Light. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to smart 1¼m-1½m winner Irresistible Jewel. This stablemate of The King's General is one to note in the betting.

The King's General^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82

10/3

Promising sort. Fourth of 12 in minor event (6/1) at Doncaster (11.9f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Best days are surely ahead of him and likely to play a prominent role in this maiden.

Form: 6-44

(2)

Beset⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: T E Whelan| T: H Candy

15/2

Twice-raced filly. Fourth of 13 in minor event at this C&D (good, 125/1) 77 days ago, not knocked about. Will qualify for handicaps after this run and it's likely she'll do better when venturing down that route.

Form: 7-4

(3)

Ina Mina¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: W J Haggas

5/1

Once-raced filly. Fourth of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Nottingham (8.3f, good) on debut 18 days ago. Open to progress and while jockey bookings suggest that Bursinel may be the stable No 1, she's one to be interested in.

Form: 4

(7)

Lake Teo⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: W Buick| T: C Hills

10/1

Twice-raced filly. 8/1, fourth of 6 in minor event at Newmarket (12f, good) 44 days ago. Should progress with that run under her belt and she's worthy of consideration.

Form: 64

(9)

Seek And Destroy³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

5/2

Promising sort. 11/2, second of 6 in maiden at Chepstow (10f, good) 31 days ago. Looks the one to beat on the back of that near-miss, even before factoring in her scope for further improvement.

Form: 0-2

(8)

Upton²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding

20/1

Once-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in minor event (15/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) on debut 25 days ago. Likely to leave that form well behind in time.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Seek And Destroy (5/2), The King's General (10/3), Ina Mina (5/1), Bursinel (13/2), Beset (15/2), Lake Teo (10/1), Tajer (14/1), Upton (20/1), Cotswold Cottage (33/1), Amigo Vaquera (250/1)

SEEK AND DESTROY left the form of her low-key 2-y-o debut well behind when just touched off at Chepstow and, with the promise of better to come from this Sea The Stars filly, she looks the one to be on. Ina Mina shaped well on her recent introduction at Nottingham and is next on the list with this step up in trip likely to spark some improvement. The King's General and his stablemate Tajer, who is a likely-looking type on paper, are others to consider.
