Penny was visibly dropping on debut here a month ago in a class 4 novice stakes over 5f on good to soft. A race, it must be said, that has not worked out perfectly from a form point.

10/11
Most experienced runner having her third career start following a third of 10, beaten ¾L behind Daddies Girl in a Salisbury Conditions Stakes, a race that has produced two winners from 13 starts, before finishing second of 10 in a Goodwood Novice Stakes at the end of the month. Strong contender.

40,000gns yearling, half-sister to numerous winners including the likes of Sir Patrick Moore, Stellar Path and War Story, second of eight in an Ascot handicap over 1m.

Forecasts

Billesdon Brook (10/11), Luna Eclipse (7/2), Shabaaby (6/1), Alba Power (10/1), Nyaleti (16/1), Watheer (16/1), Ragstone View (25/1), London's Burning (33/1)

Verdict

BILLESDON BROOK is the one to beat here with good form in the book in her short career and coming from two races that have produced winners. It's a race that has a slight advantage for those leading or racing prominently. The selection could well be the one to make the running here, leading from pillar to post. Luna Eclipse and the expensive, Shabaaby could fill the places.
  1. Billesdon Brook
  2. Luna Eclipse
  3. Shabaaby
