5/2
Four time winner on turf in 2016 at or around this trip which resulted in her handicap mark rising steadily during the campaign. Returned in good heart this year, and probably found her stamina just over-stretched when fourth to Sands Chorus at Ripon last week. AW debut.

Two from two on Tapeta over the extended mile at Wolverhampton, beating Auntie Barber by a neck there on her latest outing in March. Up 4lb and a different test here down the straight mile.

5/1
Eleven time career winner (2 from 6 on the AW) and bolted up by 3½L from Planetaria in a Class 5 C&D contest in November. Subsequently third here over shorter (7F) in a better race and likely much sharper for a couple of spins on turf with the stables horses now returning to form.

6/4
Decisive winner of a 7F soft ground maiden at Leicester in July 2016, but not so good thereafter after taking a hit in the ratings. Slowly slipping back down the weights, and not beaten too far by stablemate Gallipoli back at Leicester last month. Didn't appear to stay on sole previous try at this trip, but the slow pace small field effect could help overcome that worry.

Forecasts

Prying Pandora (6/4), Lincoln Rocks (5/2), Toboggan's Fire (3/1), Alexandrakollontai (5/1)

Verdict

This promises to be a tactical affair and race riding will almost certainly determine the result. Toboggan's Fire is 100% on Tapeta (2 from 2), but this straight mile differs notably from Wolverhampton, so there's possibly likely to be an over-emphasis on her solid record. Prying Pandora has questionable stamina over this trip, so the percentage call is LINCOLN ROCKS who could well be capable of making all under Phil Makin if asked to do so.
  1. Lincoln Rocks
  2. Toboggan's Fire
  3. Alexandrakollontai
