Bella's Path^h⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: P Attwater

2/1

Shaped remarkably well when hooded finishing fourth of 11 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 80/1) on debut 67 days ago, clocking some notable sectionals in making up plenty of ground in the final 2f. Second and third have won since and she looks a likely improver.

Form: 4

Celestias Comet^h²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jonny Peate| T: J R Fanshawe

4/1

Saxon Warrior filly was hooded for first time on first run since leaving Jack Jones and proved a different proposition, finishing second of 6 in novice at Newmarket (8f, good, 14/1) 21 days ago, pulling clear of the rest. Open to progress on all-weather debut.

Form: 0-2

(11)

Crystal Dagger¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: E Walker

16/1

As on debut, found one too good when finishing second of 5 in novice (13/8) at Carlisle (6.9f, good to firm) 16 days ago, shaping as though a stronger pace would have stamina. Improvement could come now tackling a longer trip on all-weather bow.

Form: 22

Glistening^b1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82

10/1

Fairly-useful juvenile (dual runner-up) and despite looking the part, hasn't kicked on this season. Again disappointing when fifth of 8 in maiden at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/2) 22 days ago. Remains to be seen whether the drop back in trip/application of blinkers does the trick.

Form: 322-85

(10)

Great Mates²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Wigham

11/2

Built on debut promise when second of 9 in maiden (17/2) at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft) 29 days ago, strongest at the finish and just failed. Form has a solid look to it (front 3 pulled clear with Invisible back in a close third) and she remains one to be interested in on all-weather debut.

Form: 32

(4)

Halcyonic

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

25/1

50,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Half-sister to useful 9f-14.5f winner Homer. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 11.6f English King (by Camelot) out of unraced sister to dam of Irish Oaks winner Chicquita. Plenty to like about her pedigree but may want further than this.

Helmsley³⁰³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett

6/1

New Bay filly came on plenty for her debut when fourth of 12 in maiden at this C&D in November, still green and deserving of extra credit having endured a wide passage. That race has produced some useful types and she looks interesting if ready to roll following a 10-month absence.

Form: 64-

(7)

Invisible^p1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 77

11/2

Fairly useful filly is proving consistent and ran as well as ever under more positive tactics when a neck-third behind Great Mates in a 9-runner maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good to soft, 11/4) 29 days ago, pulled clear of rest. No surprise if first-time cheekpieces eke out some improvement.

Form: 0-22323

(2)

Scheming^h1³⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer

200/1

Fared no better than on debut 125/1, eighth of 13 in novice at this C&D. Off 12 months prior to first run for new yard after leaving Richard Hannon (for 1,000 gns). Has plenty of improvement to find in first-time hood.

Form: 98-

(6)

Why Because^h³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: Harry Charlton

80/1

Better for her debut run and found some improvement to finish fourth of 10 in novice at this C&D 30 days ago (fifth an improved winner next time out). Could take another step forward here.

Form: 9-4

Forecasts

Bella's Path (2/1), Celestias Comet (4/1), Great Mates (11/2), Invisible (11/2), Helmsley (6/1), Glistening (10/1), Crystal Dagger (16/1), Halcyonic (25/1), Radiant Jewel (33/1), Why Because (80/1), Scheming (200/1)

An open-looking maiden. GREAT MATES shaped well when narrowly denied in a similar event at Nottingham last month and has solid claims to go one better here. Bella's Path caught the eye with some impressive late work when fourth in a useful Windsor maiden on debut and is feared most ahead of Helmsley who looked far from the finished article when fourth in a C&D maiden that has worked out well. Of the rest, Invisible is consistent and could prove a danger if improved for the fitting of headgear.
