Purple Rainbow¹⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| D

4/1

Built on a promising debut second when going one better at Kempton (1m) in January, readily making all. Surely more to come from this well-bred filly.

Form: 2-1

(3)

Victory Queen¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| D

3/1

Kingman filly who overcame greenness to make a winning debut at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago. Had a bit in hand and looks more than capable of defying a penalty.

Form: 1

(1)

Breckenbrough¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: A M Balding

9/2

Showed plenty of ability when second of 10 on 7f Newbury debut (good) 19 days ago. Likely to improve.

Form: 2

(4)

Chinkara¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| BF

22/1

11/10, fourth of 8 in maiden at Kempton (1m)) on debut in December. That form doesn't amount to much but she should improve.

Form: 4-

(2)

Gulya²²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian

6/4

2/1, encouraging second of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, good) on debut in September, running on. Off 7 months. Likely to progress.

Form: 2-

(6)

Princess Rascal

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Billy Loughnane| T: P & O Cole

25/1

Pinatubo filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, sister to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Distain out of useful 1½m-15f winner Market Forces. Will need to be useful to make a winning start to her career here.

Forecasts

Gulya (6/4), Victory Queen (3/1), Purple Rainbow (4/1), Breckenbrough (9/2), Chinkara (22/1), Princess Rascal (25/1)

An interesting fillies' novice. VICTORY QUEEN is taken to prove too strong for fellow previous winner Purple Rainbow. Breckenbrough shaped quite nicely on her recent debut and may prove best of the remainder.
