Bint Dandy^b¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁷⁾| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 83| C| D

8/1

In fair form just now;sound run last time brings her into the argument if dishing out a repeat dose over a C&D which holds no fears for her. Tough ask under top weight though.

Form: 263572

(2)

Lady Perignon³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 77| D

6/1

Winner at Epsom in September and posted a couple of sound efforts under revised marks since. Dropped 1lb since last time but unproven on the surface, so risks attached.

Form: 980143

(4)

Favourite Royal^v²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79

14/1

Faced testing times since August but could easily get back on track with a clear run. Suited by a strong pace and likely to give a good account of herself - worth a shot at a fair price.

Form: 771089

Ifubelieveindreams¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: I Mohammed| OR: 79

7/1

Big promise shown in three starts in maidens before making a smooth transition to handicapping. Got on well with her last partner and most probably worth persevering with if she can shrug off the burden of her new mark.

Form: 4-3241

(9)

Labhay¹⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 79| D

10/1

From a stable in cracking form and stepped up to the plate in good style last time out. Stiffer test now she goes handicapping and the third in that race has let the form down since, so needs to up her game in this company.

Form: 61

Hawatif⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: A Carson| OR: 76

25/1

Consistent but yet to win over 1m so has chinks in the armour. However, she wasn't beaten far last time out and would be dangerous to leave out of the equation in her current frame of mind.

Form: 659633

(7)

Multicultural^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: J Tate| OR: 77

8/1

Winner at Yarmouth in August but form has taken a dip and not been so effective since tried in a visor. Others more appealing.

Form: 313465

(5)

Cape To Cuba¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 77| D

3/1

Highly consistent so far and deserved to get her head in front when winning last time out. Just 2lb higher this time and has to be highly respected despite this being her fibresand debut.

Form: 224231

(10)

Luang Prabang¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: C F Wall| OR: 72| BF

8/1

Held her form well lately but not been as effective here as she has been at Wolverhampton and she doesn't look to be especially well treated having been raised 1lb for finishing second last time out.

Form: 449312

(8)

Dealer's Choice⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 74| C

15/2

Exploited a very handy mark to win last time out and very possible she could still have a bit more to offer from her current mark. Has a bit to prove on her first try at a mile though.

Form: 215461

Forecasts

Cape To Cuba (3/1), Lady Perignon (6/1), Ifubelieveindreams (7/1), Dealer's Choice (15/2), Multicultural (8/1), Bint Dandy (8/1), Luang Prabang (8/1), Labhay (10/1), Favourite Royal (14/1), Hawatif (25/1)

A tough one to call but FAVOURITE ROYAL appeals as a filly with a lovable attitude that is worth persevering with despite having had a few problems with awkward company of late. She is very capable of holding her own and is worth backing to rise above challenges to come. The selection gets the nod on grounds of value. Ifubelieveindreams has scope to progress now she's proved herself in handicap company, while Hawatif is also in good heart just now and will difficult to keep out of the frame if building on her latest effort at Kempton.
