Lady Perignon¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Jason Watson⁽⁷⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 76| D

2/1

Encouraging C&D effort two starts ago off 1lb higher than this when beaten less than a length despite finishing fourth. Previous winner over a similar trip to this and off a similar mark, and so has to be strongly considered.

Form: 01434-3

Hawatif²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: A Carson| OR: 73

8/1

Yet to get off the mark for this yard despite plenty of chances by now. Gone close a couple of times towards the back end of last year but still makes only limited appeal.

Narjes³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Fran Berry| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 72

11/2

Not beaten far at Chelmsford last time out having placed over C&D two starts ago. Is proving difficult to win with but should get his head in front in an AW handicap sooner or later.

Stosur^b²³

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: A Kirby| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 70| D

6/1

Drew a blank last year both on the turf and on the AW. Would be considered on her best form but hasn't been able to show it in recent handicaps and is more exposed than most of these.

Anna Medici^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: M Murphy| OR: 67| D

9/2

In fair form recently over this trip and slightly further on the AW. Finished second off the mark at Southwell two starts ago and has an excellent chance with further improvement possible.

Iconic Belle⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Paddy Bradley⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 67

12/1

Not disgraced when fifth over further at this course a week ago under this apprentice rider. That was a definite step in the right direction but more is still needed.

Form: 55/434-5

Mississippi Miss¹⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Dr J D Scargill| OR: 64

9/1

A winner over 6f on turf, improved over 7f at this course last time but needs to continue that progression now stepping up in trip again.

Form: 41/8806-

Tabla⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-8| J: Kieren Fox| T: D Steele| OR: 60| CD

50/1

C&D winner in December 2015 but 0/10 since and ran no sort of race on stable debut at this venue last time out.

Form: 54/638-0

Forecasts

Lady Perignon (2/1), Anna Medici (9/2), Narjes (11/2), Stosur (6/1), Hawatif (8/1), Mississippi Miss (9/1), Iconic Belle (12/1), Tabla (50/1)

Off top-weight, LADY PERIGNON could be the one to side with here. A very close fourth over C&D two starts ago she should find this mark a workable one and seems to be moving in the right direction with her apprentice rider claiming a useful 7lb. She can get the better of the in-form Anna Medici, while Narjes should also be on the premises.
