Timeform shine the spotlight on a trio of horses you will want to follow...

Balaagha was one of very few horses to overcome a wide draw at Chester last week, and whilst it probably wasn't the strongest maiden she won, the bare result of the victory doesn't do her justice. Again slowly away, jockey Richard Hills did a great job dropping her in. She was keen early and didn't look entirely comfortable on the sharp track but still had enough to sweep late and claim victory. She won't be punished too severely for this win and will be worth following in her next race.

Royal Rock made a very impressive return to action when barely off the bridle to win a minor event at Haydock last Saturday. Chris Wall's gelding had been mildly progressive in handicaps prior to this much improved effort and there's every reason to believe he can do even better. He has a very high cruising speed and will be suited by a stronger pace. He's one to keep on the right side this year and is worth his place in group races.

Bouvardia looks to be progressing along the right lines and it should pay to follow her this season. She was slightly unlucky not to make a winning reappearance at Yarmouth, but made amends her with a cosy success. She is possibly not entirely straightforward (played up before the start), but has a lot of ability. She displayed her quirks in this race, leading on the bridle before wandering quite badly and impeding the runner up - although she was well on top at the finish. She will be even better when there is juice in the ground and is one to follow.
