Dandy Man colt won his maiden over 6f at the Curragh in August on third start and was anything but disgraced in subsequent runs at Group 3 and Listed level. First start in handicap and on AW here, should run well dropped to 5f.

Filly was a dual C&D winner as a 2yo and should give this a big push on seasonal reappearance. Every chance she'll be stronger now and represents leading connections.

Promising in two outings last year, didn't fare as well on AW bow here recently over a mile, challenge fading in the home straight. Marked drop in trip now and hasn't tackled the 5f before.

Won a maiden over 7f here in December on sole racecourse outing, travelled powerfully and saw things out well then, interesting contender dropped to 5f.

Needs to step up a bit on form of four turf runs last year to snare this prize against some useful rivals on AW bow. No issues with the trip.

Went close over C&D on sole previous visit, that was in maiden however and form of handicaps on turf suggests the gelding has a bit to find with these rivals.

Forecasts

Yulong Xiongyin (5/4), De Boss Man (11/4), Fasuba (7/1), Red Sabor (8/1), Tilly Trotter (8/1), Holiday Girl (12/1)

Verdict

TILLY TROTTER boasts a strong record over C&D and provided she's fully wound up for this 3yo return, she can extend her winning record to three from three here. It is no foregone conclusion however with December winner Yulong Xiongyin rated a real danger dropping back in trip and De Boss Man will have his say too if taking to this artificial surface having run with credit in strong company on his final two starts of last term on grass. Holiday Girl disappointed over a mile here recently but she might well bounce back now dropping back significantly in trip.
  1. Tilly Trotter
  2. De Boss Man
  3. Yulong Xiongyin
