Ghisa²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Ollie Pears

3/1

Won 10-runner novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 20/1) on debut 21 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Open to improvement, but perhaps not enough in order to defy a penalty in this contest.

Form: 1

(7)

Eastern Veil

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding

11/1

Foaled March 14. Bangkok filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 1m winner Urban Glimpse. Represents a top yard and confidence behind her in the betting would look significant.

Form:

(3)

Katalyst^p²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Muir & C Grassick

25/1

Twice-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 11 in novice (400/1) at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. That represented a sizeable step forward from her low-key debut, but she again showed signs of temperament.

Form: 85

(8)

Marveling³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: S Donohoe| T: Ollie Sangster

66/1

Once-raced maiden. 33/1, last of 7 in maiden at Sandown (7f, soft) on debut 38 days ago. Probably more of a long-term prospect.

Form: 7

(9)

Polka Blue¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Havlin| T: C Hills

7/2

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in novice (40/1) at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago. Extra furlong here should help and she's a strong each-way candidate.

Form: 94

(12)

Born In Beirut⁵⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: M L W Bell

200/1

Once-raced maiden. 13/2, last of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 57 days ago. Handicaps will probably be more her thing in due course.

Form: 0

(14)

Bright City Lights²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie| T: E Smyth-Osbourne

20/1

Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in maiden (33/1) at Chester (7f, good) on debut 24 days ago. Needs to raise her game.

Form: 6

(5)

Coul Pearl⁴⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: P D Evans

200/1

Once-raced maiden. 100/1, sixth of 7 in maiden at Chepstow (7.1f, good to soft) on debut 49 days ago, slowly away. Hard to recommend based on what she showed on that occasion.

Form: 6

(10)

Lilykoy

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁵⁾| T: Dylan Cunha

28/1

Foaled March 1. Lightning Spear filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1m winner Silver Sword and 7.4f winner Ae Fond Kiss. Will probably come on for the run.

Form:

(6)

Mist Of Time¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Knight

200/1

Once-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 17 days ago. Another for whom handicaps will probably provide greater opportunities further down the line.

Form: 0

(4)

Positive Thoughts¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn

9/2

Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice (33/1) at Ayr (7.2f, soft) on debut 17 days ago. Others preferred.

Form: 6

(2)

Stepinmydirection¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Laura Pearson| T: D Loughnane

16/1

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 12 in maiden (28/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago, flattered by proximity. Another step forward needed.

Form: 52

(13)

Zarinca¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: O J Orr| T: E Bethell

5/2

Promising sort. 12/1, second of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) on debut 18 days ago, finishing well. Leading claims.

Form: 2

Forecasts

Zarinca (5/2), Ghisa (3/1), Polka Blue (7/2), Positive Thoughts (9/2), Eastern Veil (11/1), Pennine Way (12/1), Stepinmydirection (16/1), Bright City Lights (20/1), Katalyst (25/1), Lilykoy (28/1), Marveling (66/1), Born In Beirut (200/1), Mist Of Time (200/1), Coul Pearl (200/1)

ZARINCA produced a promising first effort when runner-up over 6f at Newcastle recently and, with this step up in trip a plus, she looks the way to go. Newcomer Eastern Veil is not short of appeal on paper and she'll be particularly interesting if the market speaks in her favour, while Polka Blue showed enough in a Kempton novice recently to suggest that she could play a part.
