Maiden after four starts and best effort to date came on the AW at Kempton on debut. Disappointing on handicap debut at Leicester last time but given some relief from the handicapper and expected to do better. Soft ground is an unknown.

Maiden after seven starts but best efforts have come on soft ground and the booking of the Champion Jockey should be seen as a positive. Very disappointing favourite at Lingfield when last of seven in January but can be forgiven that effort and given time to recover. Leading player in this line up.

Raced in France last year and ended her two-year-old campaign winning at Deauville in claiming company. Shown nothing in two starts for this yard though and plenty to prove currently.

5/2
Improved a little with each start last season and should go on improving this year. Trainer has a fine record around here and with horses in first-time headgear so every chance the cheekpieces could see her in a far better light. Booking of this jockey is a positive and no doubt there's more to come.

Struggling in maiden over the past six months and no better when she was switched to handicaps at Lingfield last time. Likely to be in need of more relief from the handicapper.

Improved on all known form when narrowly defeated at Bath in similar conditions last time. Could well be a different proposition this year and place claims once again off 1lb higher.

Had looked exposed until winning a 6f handicap at Yarmouth last month but form of that race is yet to be franked and she couldn't back that up off her revised mark last time. Questions to answer for now.

Very green two-year-old and well beaten at Chelmsford on her return to action last month. Booking of this jockey is certainly a positive but she looks limited ability wise and likely to struggle for a yard that have been quieter than normal.

Beaten favourite at Goodwood last time after an improved effort at Kempton on her first run of the season. Place claims again but looks a little vulnerable for win purposes.

Forecasts

Bombay Dream (5/2), Zambezi Queen (7/2), Sweet Pursuit (5/1), Incentive (5/1), Global Alexander (15/2), Coral Sea (8/1), Everkyllachy (8/1), Cool Breeze (8/1), Royal Peace (14/1), Mad Rose (25/1)

Verdict

CORAL SEA may still be a maiden but she showed enough quality last year to be taking a race of this nature. Zambezi Queen ran out an easy winner at Chepstow last time and should remain competitive off her revised mark while there will be more to come from the likes of Sweet Pursuit, Bombay Dream and Global Alexander this year.
  1. Coral Sea
  2. Zambezi Queen
  3. Sweet Pursuit
