Buying Trouble³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: P D Evans| OR: 97| D

20/1

Finally picked up a Listed win at the ninth time of asking in that grade two starts ago but was well beaten in a Group 3 at the Curragh last time out (6f, soft to heavy). Return to a sounder surface may help but she's still liable to be outclassed.

Form: 768510

Futoon²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joe Doyle| T: K A Ryan| OR: 94

12/1

Two victories so far came when dead-heating in a weak maiden and in a Class 5 handicap, and she has consistently failed to prove her worth in both Listed races and good quality handicaps. Best watched at this level.

Form: 77-2234

Gravity Flow⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P Cosgrave| T: W J Haggas| OR: 99| BF| D

7/1

Disappointing when blowing out at Haydock last time but may haven needed the run on her seasonal reappearance and hold strong claims for this on the basis of her very good second in a Listed race at Newmarket in October (6f, good).

Form: 11112-8

Show Stealer⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: M Dwyer| T: Rae Guest| OR: 91| D

33/1

Decent handicapper but was well-beaten on her only previous foray into Group company and no surprise to see her badly outclassed once again.

Form: 75428-0

Sugar Free⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R Winston| T: D Moser

25/1

Picked up some fair form in Germany but couldn't get involved on British debut at Haydock last time and looks to be the stable's second string given they also have Artistica in this.

Form: 6

Artistica⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: F Norton| T: D Moser| D

7/2

Seeks a four-timer having won a German Group 3 last time out and having been successful in Listed company at Nottingham on her start prior to that. This is more competitive but she seems progressive and could have what it takes.

Form: 513-111

Eartha Kitt^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 90| CD

7/1

C&D winner of a good handicap last time out, but was beaten 17L in Group 3 company on her penultimate start and may not quite be up to competing at this level.

Form: 31-81

(6)

Equimou²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Shoemark| T: R Eddery| OR: 101

33/1

Able handicapper and is actually officially rated above most of these, but she has come up short in this class of race in the past, and others hold more convincing Group-level claims.

Form: 36-4175

(15)

Florida Times³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 93

14/1

Has run with credit on each of her four starts so far and has hinted that she may be up to being competitive at this level when not beaten far in a Group 3 at Cork last time, but is unraced on ground better than yielding and has something to prove on that basis.

Form: 2134

(3)

Gheedaa²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P J Dobbs| T: W J Haggas| OR: 92| D

7/1

Lightly-raced type who was fourth behind Battaash in the Scurry Stakes last month at Sandown (5f, good to firm). Has won over this trip and hold strong claims if building on that seasonal reappearance.

Form: 2122-4

(7)

Isabel's On It¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Spencer| T: W J Haggas| OR: 92

8/1

Progressive type who wasn't beaten far in Listed company last time in her first attempt out of maidens. Improving quickly and is interesting here on that basis of that good performance last time out.

Form: 52-3214

(11)

Mystic Dawn⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock| OR: 96| D

20/1

Impressed in a Brighton maiden last summer but is 0/6 in Group 3 and Listed races since, including when beaten 7L by Artistica at Nottingham two starts ago. Has plenty to find.

Form: 263-605

(12)

Queen Kindly²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 103| BF| CD

11/2

Not able to replicate her high standard of juvenile form so far this year, though she wasn't disgraced in Listed company as last time and as a Group 2 winner at two requires close consideration despite her slightly disappointing recent form.

Form: 114-593

Forecasts

Artistica (7/2), Queen Kindly (11/2), Eartha Kitt (7/1), Gheedaa (7/1), Gravity Flow (7/1), Isabel's On It (8/1), Futoon (12/1), Clem Fandango (12/1), Florida Times (14/1), Simmie (14/1), Mystic Dawn (20/1), Buying Trouble (20/1), Sugar Free (25/1), Show Stealer (33/1), Equimou (33/1), Evil Spell (33/1)

The progressive Isabel's On It is interesting here given how quickly she seems to be improving, and on the basis of a quality second at Listed level last time out. She could get involved if taking another step forward, while Queen Kindly would also be dangerous on the pick of her form, including a Group 2 victory last year. However, GRAVITY FLOW deserves another chance at Pattern level. William Haggas' filly ran some fantastic races last season and may have needed her reappearance run at Haydock, when the race wasn't really run to suit. She is taken to return to winning ways after her four-timer last year.
