Andesite²³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: K R Burke| OR: 91| D

17/2

Pinatubo colt who looked a very good prospect when making a winning debut at the York Dante meeting 11 months ago. Absent since finishing seventh in Gimcrack back on the Knavesmire last summer but surprise were he not capable of better as a 3-y-o.

Form: 17-

Jouncy²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: A M Balding| OR: 99| D

7/2

Strong at the finish when landing 6f Goodwood maiden last summer and left lesser effort behind equipped with a visor when second in Kempton Group 3 in September. Soft ground a plausible excuse in Group 1 on final start and better expected back on a synthetic surface on seasonal bow.

Form: 621725-

Mr Lightside¹⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: M Appleby| OR: 102

9/2

Secured 5f novices at Redcar and Nottingham last summer and acquitted himself well up in grade thereafter. Ended 2-y-o campaign with a below par tenth in Group 3 Cornwallis Stakes at Newmarket (5f) but he appeals for each-way purposes back from 6 months off/making tapeta debut

Form: 113470-

Liberalised³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: James Horton| OR: 87| D

66/1

Fairly useful filly. First run since leaving K. R. Burke when 10 lengths fourth of 7 to Polyvega in listed race at Chantilly (5.5f, soft, 25/1) 32 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and fair bit to find on these terms.

Form: 18539-4

(1)

Perfect Part²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| OR: 95

25/1

Shock winner of the Hilary Needler at Beverley on debut last June. Largely acquitted herself well thereafter and resumed with a good 2¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Spycatcher in listed Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster (6f, good) 20 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and she holds place claims.

Form: 12458-4

(3)

Sayidah Dariyan¹⁹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: R Hughes| OR: 92| D

6/1

Much improved from debut when running out an impressive winner of a 6f Lingfield maiden in September (backed up by the clock). Possibly did too much too soon when midfield in 13-runner listed race at Dundalk (5f) a month later and she undoubtedly remains with potential.

Form: 316-

(2)

Sky Majesty¹⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 110| D

5/4

Well-bred filly who was upwardly-mobile as a juvenile, making it 3 wins from as many starts when a cosy winner of a French Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, heavy) in October. Sets the standard on that form and she rates the one to beat back from 6 months off with potential for better still.

Forecasts

Sky Majesty (5/4), Jouncy (7/2), Mr Lightside (9/2), Sayidah Dariyan (6/1), Andesite (17/2), Uncle Don (16/1), Perfect Part (25/1), Liberalised (66/1)

SKY MAJESTY looked every inch the smart filly she's bred to be when successful on each of her 3 starts as a juvenile, latterly at Group 2 level, and she makes obvious appeal on return to action with further progress very much on the cards. Jouncy, for the in-form Andrew Balding yard and Sayidah Dariyan may emerge as the chief dangers.
