Brisk Symphony¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 73| D

11/4

Learned plenty from debut and proved a different proposition under less testing conditions over a longer trip when winning a 13-runner Nottingham maiden (6f) 2 weeks ago, pulled clear with runner-up and only kept up to her work late on. No surprise to see her follow up under a penalty.

Form: 61

(7)

Cici's Secret¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: P Attwater

16/1

A'ali filly was given a consideration introduction when finishing midfield in a Chepstow novice stakes over this trip on debut, showing plenty of inexperience. Will have learned plenty and may well improve second time up.

Form: 5

(2)

Miracleoftheandes¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex

11/2

Bred to be speedy but didn't see out her race when eighth in a 14-runner novice over C&D on debut last month. Should last longer this time around but will need to improve if she's to get off the mark.

Form: 8

(4)

Uncertainty

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Hitchcott| T: R Hannon

14/1

Mohaather Filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m-1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Danville (by Muhaarar). Dam, maiden (stayed 1½m), half-sister to US Grade 2 1m/9f winner Uncharted Haven. Bred to want further in time but newcomers from this yard entitled to plenty of respect.

Forceful Lady

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll

125/1

Land Force filly. Half-sister to 1¼m winner Come To Pass. Dam lightly-raced half-sister to US Grade 3 8.5f winner Kilgowan. Stable not renowned for debut winners.

Highlighting²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton

50/1

Relatively cheap purchase and showed nothing on debut when well beaten at Windsor 24 days ago. Yard does well with juveniles but will need to step forward markedly here.

Form: 0

(3)

Jowalla¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: Tom Dascombe

10/3

Belied market weakness to produce a promising first effort, getting the hang of things late on (having been very green) to finish third in a novice stakes over C&D 16 days ago. Should improve and looks one of the likelier winners.

Form: 3

(10)

Miss Ayala³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Tyler Heard| T: M D I Usher

80/1

James Garfield filly went with little promise when eighth of 11 in a maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 35 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 8

(8)

Too Hot To Love²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson| T: Tom Clover

2/1

Bred more for 7f/1m but offered something to work with over 6f on debut, beaten 3 lengths under a hands-and-heels ride when sixth of 9 in a Goodwood fillies maiden 27 days ago. Open to improvement and could well make more of an impact on her second start.

Form: 6

Forecasts

Too Hot To Love (2/1), Brisk Symphony (11/4), Jowalla (10/3), Miracleoftheandes (11/2), Miss Starlet (8/1), Uncertainty (14/1), Cici's Secret (16/1), Highlighting (50/1), Miss Ayala (80/1), Forceful Lady (125/1)

BRISK SYMPHONY wasn't all out when getting off the mark at Nottingham last month and she may be able to follow up that victory under a penalty, in a race sponsored by her trainer. The penny dropped late on debut for Jowalla when third over C&D and she looks sure to improve, as does Too Hot To Love who offered something to work with under a hands-and-heels ride at Goodwood on her racecourse bow.
