Aviano is worth monitoring in the market on debut, as is last year's Windsor winner Preanka now having her first start for Stuart Williams after six months off. However, this may lie between two fillies who finished third in separate divisions of a Kempton maiden 12 days ago. Wise Stars was beaten less than a length in her leg and is respected after such a promising start, but even though she was beaten further in the other division MAGNA GRECIA STAR is preferred, given that the time of her race was much the quicker.[David Bellingham]

Make Believe gelding; dam unraced half-sister to winners Kinnaird (May Hill/Opera, dam of Royal Lodge winner Berkshire), Mickdaam (12.3f Group 3) and Tourism (1m4f), out of maiden half-sister to Italian 1m1f Listed winner Raysiza; drawn widest on belated debut and stable wouldn't be noted for winning newcomers.
Two starts over 6f on turf for Alice Haynes last summer, winning impressively on her Windsor debut but finding Listed company too much at Ripon four weeks later; extra furlong shouldn't be a problem on stable debut (same owner) after six months off; market useful for yard that runs three.
Ulysses colt; 13,000gns yearling; closely related to winners Iconic Choice (6f-1m2f including 2yo Listed; RPR 106) and Northern Choice (1m4f AW; 86), half-brother to 1m1f winner Glittering Choice (76); dam 7f-1m winner (including AW 2yo; 76); tongue tied on debut and market useful; refused to enter stalls on last month's intended Kempton debut.
14-1 when a promising third of nine on her Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) 12 days ago, making a big move from over 2f out before her effort flattened out; should improve from that and looks the one to beat.
7-1 when beaten less than a length into third of eight on her Kempton debut (7f, Polytrack) 12 days ago, looking likely to win but fading towards the finish; the time of that race was moderate, but that was still a promising start and she has to be respected in this field.
Both starts over 7f on Polytrack last month, hinting at ability on her Lingfield debut but finishing about 10l behind Magna Grecia Star at Kempton 12 days later; looks one for handicaps after this.
Well held in two starts over 6f/7f on turf last year (tongue tied second time); probably best watched on return from six months off unless the market suggests otherwise.
Sent off 6-4 favourite for her Chelmsford debut (7f, Polytrack) in November and showed some ability after blowing the start, but she finished behind two of these at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) 12 days ago; needs to leave that effort behind, but worth monitoring in the market.
