Decent sort at this trip and has been in good form this winter in last three starts in handicap company. Good apprentice rider's claim could make all the difference and sets the standard here in what could prove a tactical affair

4/5
Unexposed four-year-old who won well on racecourse bow in Newbury maiden last term before running creditably after a break in two listed events. Could be more to come for new connections. Step up to a mile should suit but fitness might be an issue.

14/1
Has plenty to find on evidence of two starts so far but has shown some ability and should win races. May find opposition a little hot to handle here but one to keep an eye on once receiving a handicap mark.

Forecasts

Princess De Lune (4/5), Sacred Act (5/4), Elite Treaty (14/1)

Verdict

On balance, the experienced SACRED ACT is marginally preferred to the still unexposed Princess De Lune although it would not surprise to see them have a good tussle. Tactics may play a big part as both the aforementioned contenders and the remaining runner, Elite Treaty, have been held up in most of their runs to date.
  1. Sacred Act
  2. Princess De Lune
  3. Elite Treaty
