Celestial Bay¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 75

12/1

Ran well enough in a race that was a little bit better than she usually contests last time out and drops back in grade here. Has won over C&D and should get involved here.

Form: 63-1340

Dream Love³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Havlin| T: S Dow| OR: 75

11/4

Big-priced maiden winner (50/1) at Lingfield over 1m4f on her debut. Looked to be no fluke about that run/win proving strong in the finish and looks likely to progress.

Form: 1-34

Princess Raihana^p²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: M Botti| OR: 71

7/1

Won at Chelmsford in September but below form on her two starts since, including in first-time cheekpieces last time out.

Form: 654416

Zain Arion¹¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: J F Egan| T: J Butler| OR: 71

6/4

Useful in handicaps with wins at Yarmouth and made further progress to win at Chelmsford last time out. That was her first run for her new stable and still capable of further progress over a trip she is proven over already.

Form: 1451-12

Heartstone²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 69

3/1

Still a maiden but has run some consistent races in handicaps. Still looks on a fair mark judged on her Wolverhampton second last time (over shorter) and should be competitive here.

Form: 224520

It’s hard to know what to expect from Dream Love after her big-priced win last time as she makes her handicap debut here. The chances are that she has some improvement in her but this is a little more of a test than that first start. Zain Arion is another that looks capable of taking a step forward after a career best run last time out. HEARTSTONE made an encouraging start for this yard last time and left on the same mark here she may be able to break her duck. 1. Heartstone 2. Dream Love 3. Zain Arion
