Prediction Leader
Aura Of Melania (GB)
0%
Cost 12,000gns at the breeze-ups and is out of a mare who was runner-up from 1m-1m4f (including 2yo; RPR 78); the Roger Fell stable is going well but isn't a regular source of first-time-out 2yo success.
Rest of field
Bladey Lady (IRE)
0%
Minzaal half-sister to six winners but didn't achieve much when beaten just under 8l into third on her 5f Beverley debut (good to firm) 16 days ago; may do better but Fern Clyde is the more obvious of the Tim Easterby pair.
Etonnante (IRE)
0%
This second foal of a Listed-placed 1m AW winner is a half-sister to French Group-placed 1m AW winner Eponine (including 2yo; RPR 101); the outside stall isn't ideal for a newcomer but she makes obvious paper appeal for her very powerful yard.
Fern Clyde (GB)
0%
Stepped up on her debut when just under 2l fourth of eight over C&D (good) 12 days ago; that form is below the level it usually requires to win a race like this so she'll almost certainly need to improve again.
Lady Branksome (IRE)
0%
Sent off favourite for last week's 6f Kempton debut but was trapped wider than ideal from an outside draw and faded inside the final furlong; has the rail draw this time; likely improver.
Sovereign Beach (IRE)
0%
62,000gns breeze-up buy who is a half-sister to four winners, notably So Majestic (Listed-placed 5f; RPR 97); stable has yet to hit the target with 2yos in 2026 but has enjoyed plenty of first-time-out juvenile success in recent years; would very much enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong.
Suzie May (GB)
0%
Poor form in two outings at Beverley, finishing behind the reopposing Bladey Lady when a remote fourth latterly.
