Don't Hurry Love

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: J & T Gosden

Foaled April 17. 575,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart 1½m-1¾m winner Shamida and useful French 1m winner Shemda. Dam 1½m winner. Stacks to like on paper.

(7)

Evolutionist³⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Foley| T: K R Burke| BF

€600,000 yearling, Night of Thunder filly who seemed extremely green and never looked like justifying her strength in the betting when fourth of 6 in novice at Haydock (7f, good to firm) on debut 5 weeks ago. Entitled to improve, though it's worth noting her dam was ungenuine.

Form: 4

(6)

Frustration²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S D Bowen| T: James Owen

25/1, too green to show anything when last of 8 in maiden at this course (7f, good) on debut 27 days ago.

Form: 8

(2)

Kalika

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: P Owens

Foaled February 6. £15,000 yearling (private sale), Time Test filly. Dam, 9.5f winner, half-sister to smart 1¾m-16.6f winner Selino. Entitled to come on for the run.

(4)

Legacy Link

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: C T Keane| T: J & T Gosden

Foaled February 25. Dubawi filly. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to outstanding winner up to 10.4f Frankel and high-class 1m-1½m winner Noble Mission. Noteworthy debutante.

(3)

Lyrics Of Life^t1⁸³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: B J Meehan| BF

Was sent off a short-priced favourite (6/4) but was very much in need of the experience when well-beaten fifth of 6 in novice on the Rowley course (6f, good to firm) in May. Needs to leave that well behind now significantly upped in trip with a tongue strap applied.

Form: 5

(8)

Ribbon Of Sea

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby

Foaled April 28. 1,600,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars filly. Sister to smart 8.3f-1¾m winner Sea Silk Road and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Andaleep and 8.3f winner Indemnity. Makes obvious paper appeal for powerful connections.

(1)

Shushi

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

Foaled February 1. Camelot filly. Dam, 2-y-o 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Mother Earth and useful winner up to 1m Ocean Jewel. Respected given connections.

(5)

Sydney Rock¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: Oliver Cole

Australia filly who showed a fair bit of promise when second of 9 in maiden at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 25/1) on debut just over a fortnight ago, keeping on well. This step up in trip looks sure to suit and she should have plenty more to offer.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Ribbon Of Sea (2/1), Legacy Link (11/4), Don't Hurry Love (7/2), Evolutionist (6/1), Sydney Rock (10/1), Shushi (14/1), Lyrics Of Life (33/1), Frustration (66/1), Kalika (66/1)

A race that looks sure to throw up future winners with some exceptionally bred debutantes on show. However, they may have to play second fiddle to SYDNEY ROCK, who got the hang of things late when runner-up at Newbury a fortnight ago and this step up to 1m can see her go one better. Newcomers Ribbon of Sea, Legacy Link and Don't Hurry Love head up the dangers before the benefit of market clues.
