9/2
Landed a Listed contest at Maisons-Laffitte on final start of last season. Well beaten on return but he will strip fitter for that effort and this looks easier; should go well now returned to softer ground and top jockey booking is an obvious positive.

Won a Windsor contest in impressive style but couldn't back that up in pattern company at Newmarket last time, refusing to settle in the process. First-time tongue-tie tried on his return to action but yard form has to be a concern and may need this run anyhow.

Looks exposed in comparison to most in this field and struggling in handicaps recently so unlikely to land a blow in this company.

Impressive winner on his Thirsk maiden debut over 6f he was soon pushed into a higher grade with his fifth in the Group 1 Middle Park being his best subsequent performance. Well beaten on his last start in France at the end of the season and needs to show more to get involved here.

Runner-up to an improving sort in a conditions race at Lingfield last time and won well at Dundalk the time before. Could be even better returned to turf now so can't be ruled out despite the rise in class.

Listed winner at Chantilly at the end of last season and progressed through the campaign nicely. Looks versatile ground and trip wise but no doubt she needs a career best on debut for this yard.

Just two starts to her name both coming at Cork last month, winning her maiden and keeping on well last time. Will have to take a big step forward if she's to mix it in this class on just her third start but proven on soft ground at least and this trainer is capable of improving young horses. Has first start for a yard in flying form.

5/2
Won her maiden at Goodwood but form of that race didn't work out quite as expected. Went on to finish runner-up in a Group 2 event later in the year but then failed to follow up when well backed at York and then at Newmarket on her final start in a fillies' race. May struggle back against the opposite sex.

Forecasts

Perfect Angel (5/2), Visionary (4/1), Private Matter (9/2), Simmie (7/1), Barrington (15/2), Koropick (8/1), Florida Times (11/1), Just An Idea (40/1)

Verdict

PRIVATE MATTER may have need his reappearance run and the return to soft ground ought to see him in a better light. There could be more to come from Visionary now back on turf while Florida Times is another who should enjoy conditions underfoot.
  1. Private Matter
  2. Visionary
  3. Florida Times
