Glorious Game

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

£85,000 yearling, Pinatubo filly. Closely related to smart winner up to 9f Feliciana de Vega (2-y-o 7f/7.5f winner). Knew her job in becoming her stable's fifth 2-y-o to make a winning debut this year at Windsor 17 days ago by 1½ lengths from Motown Filly. Expected to be bang there.

Motown Filly (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

100,000 gns yearling, Cotai Glory filly. Half-sister to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m The Mackem Bullet. Promising 1½ lengths second to Glorious Game in novice at Windsor on debut. Does have some ground to make up with the winner but she should have more to offer.

What A Girl Wants (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs

Consistent rather than progressive form to be placed all 3 starts in Ireland for Robson De Aguiar. Barely had a race in the Albany (repeatedly denied a run from halfway) last week.

Margaret's Pearl

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

A'ali filly. Bagged 8-runner novice at Pontefract (5f) second time up but tailed off in listed event at York since. Tongue strap/headgear now applied.

15/05/26	York	5f	Good	10/10	Flat

The Can Can Queen

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Sharper for her debut when winning novice at Ripon, disputing the lead before responding well. Not seen to best effect in Hilary Needler at Beverley since and she remains with potential.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
30/05/26	Beverley	5f	Gd/Frm	5/8	Flat
17/05/26	Ripon	6f	Gd/Frm	1/8	Flat

Beauty Box (Ire)

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Promise first 2 starts before finding a weak race at Ripon last week. Others probably have more potential.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
17/06/26	Ripon	6f	Gd/Frm	1/7	Flat
04/05/26	Windsor	6f 12y	Good	2/6	Flat

Havana Sprite

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

Off the mark at the third attempt when landing the odds in Bath novice 12 days ago. Can make her presence felt up in trip.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
13/06/26	Bath	5f 10y	Good	1/5	Flat
20/05/26	Yarmouth	5f 42y	Good	2/10	Flat

Californian Angel

Age: 2
Weight: 9st 2lbs
Or: -

65,000 gns yearling, Dark Angel filly. Dam 6f winner out of winning half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Nahoodh (won Falmouth Stakes). Lacked the know-how that most 2-y-o newcomers from his yard have had when third of 12 in novice at Nottingham 3 weeks ago and is bound to improve.

Date	Course	Distance	Going	Pos	Type
03/06/26	Nottingham	6f 18y	Gd/Sft	3/12	Flat

Timeform Verdict

Hugo Palmer is having an excellent season with his 2-y-os and his GLORIOUS GAME arguably brings the best form to the table after her all-the-way win at Windsor. What A Girl Wants barely had a race in the Albany so this quick turnaround shouldn't be a problem, while the selection's stablemate Californian Angel showed plenty to work on at Nottingham.

Betting Forecast

7/2 Glorious Game, 8/1 Motown Filly (Ire), 9/2 What A Girl Wants (Ire), 40/1 Margaret's Pearl, 10/1 The Can Can Queen, 8/1 Beauty Box (Ire), 9/2 Havana Sprite, 15/2 Californian Angel
