Bijoux is quite a nice No Nay Never filly. She hasn't been hammered in her work, so will probably be a bit green, but I think she'll have an each-way chance.

Non-runner

Lokma is a filly by smart performer Earthlight, a top-class Godolphin/Andre Fabre Juvenile in France. He also won the Middle Park. I expect Lockma will improve for this debut.

Tuco Salamanca bolted in off his opening mark of 61, slightly to our surprise at Kempton, obviously benefiting from a wind-op. He's now 9lb higher but he has shown improved form on the gallops since the win and can follow up.

Lady Odette has run two solid races, but bumps into a Wolverhampton fillies' novice that could be above-average. With normal improvement, she should challenge for a place.

Sands Of Havana should run okay from her wide draw. Each-way chance but she needs to stay the extra furlong, which I believe she can.

Boundless Poet isn't very trustworthy. He had plenty of issues as a 2yo and as a result, is the type that could run into a place or finish down the field if he doesn't fancy it.

Al Waseela hasn't been with us for long, but considering she won two of her last three races for William Haggas, again she is a bigger price than anticipated. Worth a shot each way as she has been working nicely enough.

Both my horses today have place chances and they are each bigger prices than I was anticipating. Rock Diva is going back up to a mile and that should suit her better.
