Pink Petunia^h³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes

22/1

In hood for first start, very green when tenth of 11 in novice at Kempton (7f, 11/1) 35 days ago, missing break and always behind. Likely to need more time.

Form: 0

(6)

Princess Qajar¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Joe Leavy⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal

33/1

Showed ability on debut but went backwards from that effort when seventh of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 19 days ago, racing freely. Improvement required.

Form: 47

Forecasts

Texas Starlight (6/5), Go Go Boots (3/1), Miss Herschel (7/2), Diamond Lil (15/2), Joyful Sound (18/1), Pink Petunia (22/1), Princess Qajar (33/1), Berry Happy (200/1)

Having shaped promisingly at Newmarket on debut, TEXAS STARLIGHT had little difficulty with opening her account at Southwell last time and she can follow up with more still to offer. The biggest threat could come from the newcomers in the line-up, with six-figure purchase Go Go Boots making plenty of appeal, ahead of Diamond Lil.
