Lady Lydia¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 76

11/4

Unplaced on her last nine starts and changed yard twice recently. This trip looks more suitable but still 5lb higher than her last winning mark and others hold stronger claims.

Form: 565190

Kashtan⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Michael J M Murphy| T: J S Moore| OR: 75

7/1

Two wins from seven starts on the AW, both coming at Wolverhampton. Entitled to come on for recent effort after a break and she should make a bold bid from the front from just 4lb higher than her last winning mark.

Form: 137/91-8

Veena⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 75

11/8

Started her career well with a nice debut run and then a win on Polytrack at Kempton in October 2015. Dropped a long way in the weights before scoring at Newcastle last time out but doesn't look well-suited to this course and will need them to go too fast on the front end.

Form: 98-4114

Penny Dreadful^p²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 63

7/1

Close fourth at Chelmsford two starts back was more like it and proved she was in better form with a Kempton placed effort last time. Not won since a C&D effort 19 starts ago and yard haven't been in their usual of form of late.

Beau Mistral¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 8-8| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 62

5/1

C&D winner here in January and only 1lb higher than that on return to this course after disappointing effort at Kempton last time. This jockey is adept from the front and has an ideal draw to attack. Likely to face competition for the lead but holds each-way claims at the very least.

Ms Arsenal¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Jane Elliott| T: G C Bravery| OR: 60

25/1

Poor on last four starts (three maidens and a bumper) and particularly disappointing when last at Yarmouth. Not been seen since and a return to this trip doesn't look in her favour. Likely to struggle.

Form: 087-6

Forecasts

Veena (11/8), Lady Lydia (11/4), Loumarin (3/1), Beau Mistral (5/1), Saved My Bacon (5/1), Penny Dreadful (7/1), Kashtan (7/1), Ms Arsenal (25/1)

BEAU MISTRAL may be able to show them a clean pair of heels and her jockey has an ideal draw to execute front-running tactics. Saved My Bacon is likely to come on for her recent reappearance and her jockey's claim will help get her competitive again while Veena can benefit if they go too hard on the front end. 1.
