Al Khawssaa²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-9| J: Zacharia Clarke⁽⁷⁾| T: R Varian

10/3

Night of Thunder filly who confirmed debut promise when running out a good winner of 4-runner novice (8/11) at Southwell (7.1f) in September, well on top finish. Type to go on improving for top stable and respected despite conceding chunks of weight all round.

Form: 31-

Adoon Valley²⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| BF

15/8

Not the biggest but she boasts a good pedigree and promising start when second in a Newmarket maiden (6f) in July. May have found race coming too soon when fifth of 10 in novice back there later that month and she's one to consider on return upped further in trip.

Form: 25-

Arkinthestars¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 72

11/2

Lightly-raced filly who showed benefit of reappearance run when third of 5 in maiden at Newcastle (10.2f) 18 days ago, no extra last ½f. Drop back to 1m won't inconvenience her on that evidence and she ought to be thereabouts.

Form: 93-73

Pomme Pomme¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: J Channon

150/1

Coulsty filly who showed only greenness when ninth of 10 in maiden (16/1) at Lingfield (1m, AW) on debut 15 days ago. Passed over.

Form: 9

Soul Dance¹⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding

9/1

Camelot filly. Dam, 7.6f-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1¼m Sparkling Beam. Very slowly away and ultimately proved too green to show anything when tenth of 12 in novice at Lingfield (1m) on debut in November. Represents a leading yard and this promises to reveal more.

Form: 0-

Time For Dessert⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Jessica Macey

250/1

Time Test filly who was sent off at long odds and went with little promise when sixth of 7 in novice at Southwell (8.1f) on debut 83 days ago, very slowly away and always behind.

Form: 6

(3)

Wilhelmina¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 74

3/1

Thrice-raced filly who wasn't seen to best effect when third of 10 in novice at Lingfield (7f, AW) in November, not ideally placed. Up in trip for return and she appeals as the type who will have more to offer.

Form: 263-

Forecasts

Adoon Valley (15/8), Wilhelmina (3/1), Al Khawssaa (10/3), Arkinthestars (11/2), Soul Dance (9/1), Pomme Pomme (150/1), Time For Dessert (250/1)

Having shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up on debut last July, ADOON VALLEY may have found the race coming too soon when midfield in a Newmarket novice (7f) later that month. Boasting an appealing pedigree, she's worth another chance to get back on the up 9 months on. Al Khawssaa ran out a dominant winner at Southwell when last seen and is respected despite conceding plenty of weight all round. Wilhelmina is another who should have more to offer.
