28/1

Bargain basement buy was beaten just over 10L on debut at Lingfield last month over 6f. Weakened there so extra 1f not sure to suit and step up needed.

3/1

Runner-up in both starts this year over 6f. Didn't stay 7f in lone try as a two-year old but well worth another try now a year further on and if he lasts it out has a good chance.

Form: 2034-22

11/4

Switches trainer today after going close in last three starts for Luca Cumani. Blinkers an interesting addition and if they solve her bad habit of drifting left under pressure she could go one better.

6/4

70,000gns yearling ran well on debut six weeks ago at Kempton finishing third under a positive ride from the front. With expected improvement she is a leading player here.

Perfect Lady

13/2

Newcomer by Excelebration out of a speedy an well related dam who won over 6f. Trainer has excellent strike rate so market check required here.

Had two runs for Pascal Bary in France both over 1m plus without success. Shorter trip now after lengthy absence. Others make more compelling cases.

Archie Watson does well with new recruits and BEYOND RECALL can be the latest to benefit from his tutelage. She has been running at around the required level in any case so if either the stable change or first time blinkers make a difference she will take a bit of beating here. Peace Terms is most feared of the rest after a decent debut effort from a wide draw and this well bred sort could easily step up on that effort. Kingofmerrows should stay 7f now and is rated the same as the selection by the BHA.
