Verdict: A half-sister to a 2yo debutante winner, MANDARIN SPIRIT makes most appeal for a yard chasing a third win in this race in four seasons.

Mandarin Spirit

Jockey: K Stott Trainer: Kevin Ryan Age/Wt: 2/9-2

4 tips

11/10

Comment: Yard won this in 2022 with a newcomer and again last year and this half-sister to Mandurah, who won on her 2yo debut last summer before going close in a Group 3, could well give them another victory.

Royal Fixation

Jockey: George Downing Trainer: Ed Walker Age/Wt: 2/9-2

5 tips

23/10

Comment: 180,000gns yearling who's bred to be sharp, being a half-sister to a couple of 2yo winners in France; becomes just her trainer's third 2yo runner here (currently 1-2) and needs considering.

Magistery

Jockey: Connor Beasley Trainer: Michael Dods Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 8

Comment: Blew the start and hung left when well held on her Redcar debut three weeks ago; raced on the wrong side that day, though, and will have learned from it.

3 tips

8/1

Comment: 82,000gns foal who's a half-sister to useful 1m-1m2f winner Mooltazem and to Group-placed sprinter Gold Vibe; trainer among the winners and off the mark with 2yos for the season recently; likely looking newcomer.

Goldie Bear

Jockey: Kaiya Fraser Trainer: Rebecca Menzies Age/Wt: 2/9-2

12/1

Comment: 5,000euros yearling who went for 32,000gns last month; half-sister to a couple of decent winners and sister to three ordinary maidens; trainer wouldn't be noted for 2yos (4-83 the past five years) and market wll guide.

Lady Mo Mo

Jockey: D Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby Age/Wt: 2/9-2 F: 6

25/1

Comment: First foal of an unraced mare; started 100-1 for her Wetherby debut early in the month and ran accordingly, finishing a remote sixth; needs a big step forward.

Comment: 1,200gns yearling whose dam won over 1m6f (first foal not up to much); probably best watched unless there's strong support.

Empress Olivia

Jockey: Harry Russell Trainer: Mark Walford Age/Wt: 2/9-2

40/1

Comment: 3,500gns foal who has stamina on the dam's side of her pedigree; yard just 2-80 with 2yos over the past five seasons; doesn't have much to recommend her.

Comment: Useful pedigree suggests the step up in trip will be a positive on this second run but she was beaten 12l when fifth of seven at 25-1 on last month's debut at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) and a big step forward is needed.

Comment: Wins have mostly come in the summer, mainly from the front, including over C&D; has not shown much this season but is on a fair mark and will be happier back up from 5f; should do much better.

Comment: Useful 2yo who ended a long losing run off 5lb lower on Tapeta early last month; was allowed to dictate that night and has been held off his revised mark since, so much may hinge on how things pan out early from the inside stall.

Comment: Well suited by an easy, turning 7f (three-time Catterick winner) and bounced back to form at Musselburgh last time; fine on any ground but has landed yet another wide stall and there's not much wiggle room off this mark (back up 2lb).
