66/1
Not raced since September 2015, and has since switched stables from Ann Duffield. Life looks very tough and concedes weight to all her younger rivals.

4/1
£13,000 yearling who wasn't beaten all that far in finishing sixth of eight to stable switcher Wasm on debut at Doncaster last month (7f soft). Likely stronger for that experience.

5/1
By Tagula so should enjoy some cut, but not quite as sharp on his second outing at Thirsk last week as on debut, but dropped 1f in trip and that might be helpful.

33/1
No show on either start over this 7f trip to date (Wolverhampton and Catterick) and needs to take a major step forward in order to play a leading role.

1/3
Runner up on all three starts in 2017 since switched to handicaps, earning a mark of 78. Wouldn't appear a rock-solid performer by any means and was soundly beaten at Lingfield latest, but probably still the horse they've all got to beat.

10/1
20,000 gns yearling who did okay when sixth of 13 in similar company over C&D on debut earlier in the month. Needs to show improvement but that can't be ruled out on just her second career start.

Horse silk
33/1
Not managed to beat a single rival (soundly beaten) in two starts on Tapeta at Newcastle during the winter months. Returns from a break, upped in trip on turf debut.

Horse silk
25/1
Unraced Equiano filly out of Spring Goddess and a half-sister to 1m winner Spring Arrow. Not a great deal of strength amongst the opposition so could feasibly figure on debut if the market speaks in her favour.

50/1
Shown precious little in the way of ability in three starts to date (7f to 1m) and no obvious reason to expect an improved effort.

150/1
Five race maiden who hasn't finished in front of a single rival on her last three starts so impossible to fancy despite the application of first time cheek-pieces with an official rating almost as low as you can go.

Forecasts

Bassmah (1/3), Chosen World (4/1), Mischief Managed (5/1), Betty Grable (10/1), Spring Beauty (25/1), Spike's Princess (33/1), Monsieur Mel (33/1), Starboard Watch (50/1), Encoded (66/1), Zarkavon (150/1)

Verdict

Another contest which is unlikely to set the pulses racing. BASSMAH is far from a rock-solid performer, but has done well enough since switched to handicaps this year, and with an official rating of 78 ought to prove far too good for these rather moderate looking rivals.
  1. Bassmah
  2. Chosen World
  3. Betty Grable
