1.00pm Nursery Handicap (1m)

Find is sure to be popular and warrants respect despite disappointing in Listed company at Doncaster when last seen. The progressive Grey Belle is another leading contender having scored at the third time of asking recently, but Oh Herberts Reign has won two of his last three starts and whilst a mark of 86 requires more, he makes plenty of appeal.

Selection: Oh Herberts Reign

1.30pm Fillies’ Stakes (1m)

A fascinating event. Aiming High has to be high on the shortlist having caught the eye when a staying-on seventh in a good maiden at Newmarket. She looks sure to improve plenty for that outing. However, there are a stack of interesting debutants. Big News cost €120,000 and is a fascinating runner for Qatar Racing with their retained rider and champion jockey Oisin Murphy aboard. Candy Shack cost €58,000 and is related to Derby hero Sovereign, whilst Glory And Gold hails from the same family as Fame And Glory. Other debutants to note include Heart Of Summer for Godolphin and the John and Thady Gosden-trained duo of One Evening and Nashwa, the latter is a daughter of Frankel.
