A few nicely-bred sorts in here. Salacious showed a bit of promise at Cork but she could be vulnerable to some of the newcomers. SIMPLY ASTOUNDING is a half-sister to Henry Longfellow who won all three of his 2yo starts and she is taken to make a winning debut. Sunday River, Cape Sounion and Spring Is Here could prove to be the biggest dangers. [Dave Stephens]

Saxon Warrior filly is a third foal; dam 6f-1m maiden (RPR 70), half-sister to Group-placed 1m-9.4f winner Red Label, out of Group-placed 7f-8.5f winning sister to 10.5f Group 3 winner Gold Round and half-sister to outstanding miler Goldikova; may need further than this in time; probably best watched on debut.

Second runner for yard; Starspangledbanner filly is a sixth foal; half-sister to winners Stanford (7f AW/1m turf; RPR 89) and One Horse Town (1m4f AW; 75); unraced dam closely related to 1m/1m4f winner and Irish St Leger third Flying Cross, out of Oaks winner Ramruma; may need further than this; watch on debut.
Cheaply bought Galileo Gold filly is a first foal; dam unraced half-sister to Swedish 1m3f winner Sel Sea, out of maiden sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Cubanita; Keane up on debut but pedigree suggests she'll be seen to better effect over further than this.

Daughter of Saxon Warrior was 12-1 for her debut at Cork (5f, good) and finished seventh of 10 (behind Salacious); run wasn't totally devoid of promise but she may need more time.
Cheaply bought Profitable filly; first foal; dam unraced half-sister to useful winners Mannaal (1m-11.4f) and Bilhayl (5f), out of 6f 2yo Group 3 winner; yard not a renowned source of 2yo winners; others appeal more.
Cracksman filly cost 26,000Euros as a yearling; first foal; dam French 7.5f AW winner (inc 2yo), closely related to prolific Japanese 5f-7f winner Peaceful Time, out of French 1m Group 2 winner; in form yard can ready one so check the market.
Sent off at 50-1 for her debut at Cork (5f, good) but she showed potential and finished ahead of Luna Beaux; this stiffer track and extra furlong could suit on the evidence of that run; could go well.
Wootton Bassett filly is a fourth foal; half-sister to 7f 2yo Group 1 winner Henry Longfellow (RPR 123); dam 6f-1m4f winner (inc 2yo/1,000 Guineas/Oaks; 123), sister to winners Tuesday (Oaks) and Empress Josephine (Irish 1,000 Guineas); regally bred newcomer from top yard; makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Havana Grey filly cost 42,000GBP as a yearling; first foal; dam 6f AW winner (RPR 71), closely related to useful 7f/7.5f winner Dan Troop, out of Group-placed 6f 2yo winning half-sister to 5f Group 1 winner Profitable; yard capable of readying one and the market should reveal plenty.
