Form & Verdict
Out of a 1m Listed winner who was runner-up in the 1,000 Guineas; signs of ability in a valuable Haydock event on debut (6f, good; 5-1) in September, albeit just running on at one pace in the closing stages; lacks a recent run but no surprise if she does better over 7f.

Twice-raced filly whose dam finished second in the 1,000 Guineas, carrying these silks; seems likely to build on Thirsk reappearance win (7f) and show additional improvement upped further in trip; one to consider.

J: Kevin Stott

T: Kevin Ryan

Second foal; dam 7f 2yo/1m Listed winner (runner-up in 1,000 Guineas) who was effective on good/heavy ground; the standard set by those who have raced isn't a daunting one and this Pinatubo newcomer could be a player.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Hooded for Salisbury debut (6f, good to firm) last July where she raced with her head on one side virtually throughout but showed spunk to force a dead-heat; off since and it's hard to judge the merit of that muddling race but the new trip shouldn't be a problem; can give it a good shot.

9st 4lb

J: Ray Dawson

T: Roger Varian

Gained her debut win over 6f but the way she shaped over a stiff 7f last time (handicap debut) suggests this step up to 1m will suit; pedigree suggests she should do better still; not dismissed.

8st 6lb

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Roger Varian

Hooded both starts; never raced smoothly from the word go on Salisbury debut (6f) so did well to force a dead-heat on the line; looked more professional when third under a penalty at Thirsk (7f; also good to firm) four weeks ago and this stiffer test at the trip can suit; should improve.

OR:

Form & Verdict
No impact at Haydock in October but she looked more of a prospect on Southwell AW (7f) last month when doing some steady late work; might find this test on the sharp side but another step forward is possible.

Gained a first win in 1m handicap at Hamilton in May and backed it up with a solid third of six in similar event there 17 days ago; this Palace Pier filly can go well again off the same mark.

T: Edward Bethell

Had just two rivals to beat on handicap debut over C&D (good to firm) three weeks ago but she comfortably made all and this half-brother to connections' smart performer Point Lynas could have plenty more to offer; this unexposed 3yo may well take a 6lb rise in her stride; unraced on slow ground.

Form & Verdict
Modest form in two juvenile runs over 6f (good and heavy) but she went off shortish prices each time and her 3yo career could be more fruitful, especially over a trip that should suit; market can guide on comeback.
