Storm Cry²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84

12/1

Has only raced beyond 6F once during an eight race career, and weakened inside the final furlong to finish last of four on her final start as a juvenile over 7F. Unable to dominate from the front on her seasonal reappearance at Newmarket last month (6F), her stamina over this trip looks a major worry.

Flying North²¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T J Murphy| T: R Hannon| OR: 82

5/1

Made all to see off Carol by ½L in a fillies maiden at Ascot (1m good) in September 2016, and rounded off her juvenile campaign with an excellent 1L second to Island Vision on her handicap debut at Newmarket in October 2016. Up 5lb for her seasonal reappearance and Polytrack debut.

Illaunmore²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Robert Tart| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82

3/1

Won a moderate 1m fillies maiden at Kempton in October 2016, and was beaten (third) by just over 2L by Son Of The Stars over C&D last month. Raised 2lb and entitled to be stronger for that reappearance.

Textured¹⁷⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 81

7/1

Had appeared broadly disappointing, including when well behind Flying North at Newmarket in October 2016, before landing a 7f Newcastle nursery by a short-head. That form perhaps isn't the strongest, but she's been given a winter to strengthen and commands respect despite a 5lb rise.

Pepita¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

12/1

Beaten almost 4L by Cheval Blanche at Salisbury last month (7F), and such was the decisive manner of that rivals success, it would be a surprise to see this filly reverse those placings. She was headed in the final strides on her only attempt at 1m (Lingfield), and this track might stretch her stamina.

Form: 272-D13

Pavillon¹⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 79

9/2

Very green throughout but showed an excellent turn of foot to score by ½L on her debut in a Kempton fillies maiden (6F) in November. Worth a crack at this longer trip, and looks open to any amount of improvement on her handicap debut.

Rely On Me¹⁸⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 77

10/1

Made all and stayed on strongly to take a moderate 6f Doncaster maiden on just her second career start in November 2016 (good to firm). By Kyllachy, this 100,000 gns yearling should handle the step up in trip, but improvement is required from an opening mark of 77.

Salamah²²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 76

6/1

Dwelt and green on debut, but that didn't stop her landing a course 6F fillies maiden by a head from Chica De La Noche. She was highly tried in a decent fillies nursery at Newmarket next time (disappointed), but she's been dropped 3lb since. Missed a couple of planned engagements this term (declared, but a non-runner), and of interest on her return to this track.

Form: 10-

Millie's Kiss⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: P J McBride| OR: 73

16/1

Off the mark by 3L at the fifth attempt in a 7F Lingfield maiden in March, but held behind Cheval Blanche next time and work to do to reverse the placings with tonight's rival progressing since.

Illaunmore (3/1), Cheval Blanche (10/3), Raven's Lady (4/1), Pavillon (9/2), Flying North (5/1), Salamah (6/1), Textured (7/1), Rely On Me (10/1), Pepita (12/1), Storm Cry (12/1), Millie's Kiss (16/1)

The Cheval Blanche that demolished her rivals at Salisbury recently would take some beating under a penalty tonight, but this smallish filly was less promising on her previous start at Newcastle. It's feasible that the Tapeta wasn't to her liking that evening, but also that she's slightly better over a shorter trip when able to deploy her turn of foot to maximum effect. In an otherwise open race where the likes of Ravens Lady, Flying North and Textured are all respected, a chance is taken that the Clive Cox trained PAVILLON can take a step forward from her pleasing Kempton debut success and handle the step up in trip on her handicap debut.
