Capla Temptress²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: M Botti| OR: 87| CD

5/1

Surprise winner on the AW at Chelmsford first time out then much more convincing when scoring readily over C&D (soft) in a fillies auction. Much stiffer task now but dangerous to dismiss with the ground in her favour.

Form: 11

Dance Diva¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S De Sousa| T: R A Fahey| OR: 100| C

3/1

Faultless in her first three starts over 6f, proving her class when winning a Listed event over 6f here (good to soft) last month. Has since finished a clear second behind the impressive Nylaleti in an Ascot Group 3, so big chance if this step up to 7f suits.

Form: 1112

Ertiyad⁵⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: P Cosgrave| T: W J Haggas| OR: 87

16/1

Off the mark at the second attempt when capturing a 6f Haydock maiden on soft ground. Possible limitations exposed when well down the field in an Ascot Group 3 (6f, good to firm) since, though step up 7f on an easy surface may improve her.

Form: 210

Jousi¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| D

16/1

Finished 2¼ adrift of Poetic Charm on her debut over C&D (good to firm) but improved to score over 7f at Ascot (good to soft) next time. Clearly going the right way but would need a big step forward to prevail in this grade.

Form: 41

Juliet Capulet^p¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Robert Tart| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 83| D

20/1

Looking expensive at €235,000, having failed to win in her first three starts, including when beaten 1¼ behind Poetic Charm over C&D (good to firm). Finally obliged in a weak-looking novice event at Thirsk last time but others more persuasive here.

Mamba Noire²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: C O'Donoghue| T: K J Condon| OR: 101

7/1

Cork maiden winner over 5f (good to firm) who has held her own in better company since, most notably when finishing a 2¼ third behind Clemmie in a Group 2 over 6f here last month. Shapes as though 7f will suit, though unproven on an easy surface.

Mayyasah²²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

12/1

Cost €160,000 and, despite a lack of market confidence, scored in good style on her debut over 6f at Newbury (good to soft). Form of that race has taken a couple of knocks since but respected for a yard which won this race last year.

Form: 1

(8)

Poetic Charm²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: C Appleby| CD

11/4

A half-sister to the Group 1 winner Teofilo and looks an exciting prospect in her own right on the evidence of a smooth debut win over C&D (good to firm), leaving three subsequent winners trailing in her wake. Obvious claims if handling slower ground.

Form: 1

(2)

Tajaanus¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Dane O'Neill| T: R Hannon| OR: 97| D

10/1

Debutant winner over 6f here (good to soft) before disappointing here next time, only to get her career back on track with a game Listed win at Sandown (7f, good to soft) from Capomento. One of two representatives from last year's winning yard, respected.

Form: 161

Forecasts

Poetic Charm (11/4), Dance Diva (3/1), Capla Temptress (5/1), Mamba Noire (7/1), Tajaanus (10/1), Mayyasah (12/1), Ertiyad (16/1), Jousi (16/1), Juliet Capulet (20/1)

Dance Diva and Mamba Noire - each placed in Group company - set the standard form-wise but it's hard to escape the claims of POETIC CHARM. Charlie Appleby's filly looked an exciting prospect when prevailing over C&D on her debut last month and, providing she handles slower ground, everything in her pedigree suggests that a Listed event of this nature should be well within her range. Elsewhere, Richard Hannon captured this prize 12 months ago and saddles two live contenders in the shape of Mayyasah and Tajaanus.
