Made a winning debut in one of the first 2-y-o races of the season at Newcastle (5f) in April, despite missing the break, but could run to only a similar level at Newmarket next time.

Overcame greenness to score in good style on debut at Tipperary in April. Unlucky to bump into an above-average newcomer in her bid to defy a penalty at the Curragh and remains with potential.

Mehmas filly who was backed at long odds and made a winning start in 6f maiden at Redcar 17 days ago. Open to improvement but this is a big ask.

Well backed and made a taking winning debut in 6f maiden at Goodwood 27 days ago. She's an exciting prospect open to significant improvement. One to take very seriously.

Found some more improvement in first-time cheekpeices to get off the mark in 6f maiden at Chelmsford 15 days ago, but that was a weak race and she'll surely be outclassed here. Blinkered.

Built on debut run when landing 10-runner novice event at Beverley in April. Progressed significantly to follow up in the Hilary Needler back there last time and has earned a shot at this level.

Headed close home on debut at Kempton and put that experience to good use when making all at Brighton. Progressed again to follow up in the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom and open to more progress.

Bred in the purple and knew what was required when making all in 9-runner maiden at Naas (5.7f) on debut 19 days ago. Sure to progress and win more races.

Bobby's Kitten filly who showed fairly useful form in making a winning start in 6f novice at Kempton 30 days ago. That effort is backed up by the clock and she's open to improvement.

Overcame inexperience and a trip that looked on the sharp side to make a winning debut at Nottingham (5f) 16 days ago. Will improve for this step up to 6f.

Forecasts

Flotus (9/2), Hello You (5/1), Prettiest (13/2), Elliptic (13/2), Cachet (15/2), Eve Lodge (17/2), Oscula (10/1), Hellomydarlin (10/1), Sandrine (16/1), Sunstrike (33/1), Sows (33/1), Lady Ayresome (50/1), El Maga (80/1), Gypsy Lady (80/1), Anadora (125/1)

Verdict

FLOTUS created a tremendous impression when making a successful start to her career at Goodwood last month, and although the bare form is just useful, she has to be marked down as a most exciting prospect. She gets the vote over Hello You, who impressed equally when scoring by a wide-margin on her debut at Wolverhampton. Eve Lodge has a bit about her and makes each-way appeal at bigger odds.
