Very capable on her day, as she proved with a surprise win at Chelmsford (1m5f) last month but she couldn't back that up off this 3lb higher mark when only fifth behind Grumeti over 2m. Recent form and Chester Cup entry suggest she may need further.
Appears to need more of a test nowadays. Rider still seeking his first winner. Probably best watched for now.
Has finished last in three of his last four starts and only beat one home in the other. Gets a significant drop in the weights but remains hard to recommend.
Came to hand early last season and is now just 2lb higher than when winning last May. Has excellent chance in an uncompetitive race if market suggests she is ready.
Fair second on her only C&D appearance. Third and sixth went on to win next time, so has obvious claims here off 3lb lower mark. Had been in good form over hurdles this winter but was disappointing last time.
Progressed to win the last three starts of her 2016 campaign in good style. Not disgraced on Redcar return over an inadequate trip. Must go close over preferred distance but stable are bumping along at a modest strike rate of 3-50 in the past couple of weeks.
Stole a slowly run race here last time by making a decisive move 4f out. A repeat looks a lot tougher off a 4lb higher mark and given her record of two wins in 37 starts.
Had some fair form for John Quinn but has been on the decline of late. Tries this trip for the first time with few positive signs in the pedigree and previous form.
Forecasts
All My Love (9/4), Renfrew Street (9/2), Saumur (9/2), Rowlestone Lass (9/2), Canny Style (11/2), Percys Princess (13/2), Smart Mover (40/1), Perfect Summer (40/1)
Saumur will find this easier than the tests she has faced since scoring last May. She is worth noting in the market for a race where most carry doubts. Rowlestone Lass will not one this to be tactical and All My Love has questions to answer having flopped over hurdles last time. Percy's Princess will find this tougher than the muddling race she landed last time. Kevin Ryan's team are yet to get into full swing. Nevertheless, CANNY STYLE shaped well enough on her Redcar return to suggest she can land this. That was over a shorter trip but it signalled that she had progressed over the winter. She has proven form on the surface and appears a logical selection.
- Canny Style
- Saumur
- Rowlestone Lass
