Placed in three of her five maidens before landing the spoils over C&D clear of Bye Bye Brussels and Albell. Another bold show looks on the cards.

Comfortable winner of a 7f maiden at this track in November but well beaten over C&D off a mark of 79 last month. Improvement needed over this trip.

Disappointing beaten favourite on his last two starts over 1m2f and 7f earlier this month. May appreciate the switch to 1m.

Best form so far has come at this venue including when beaten a head off a 2lb lower mark over 7f in October before a promising run over C&D last month. Place claims.

Much improved performance here earlier in the month when finishing third of 12 beaten 1½L. Step up in trip may assist.

Forecasts

Palace Guard (7/4), War Hero (4/1), Adaliya (5/1), Patrick Joseph (7/1), Smiling Eliza (9/1), Aibell (14/1), Palariva (20/1), Innamorare (20/1), Ragtime Red (22/1), Bye Bye Brussels (28/1), Taylor Velvet (40/1)

Verdict

Mick Halford's Adaliya made all to win here over C&D last month and will try to repeat the feat in this contest but the tactics could be advantageous to a fast-finishing, Joseph O'Brien-trained PALACE GUARD who came from off the pace to land a 7f contest earlier this month. War Hero and Patrick Joseph can give the selection the most to think about.
  1. Palace Guard
  2. War Hero
  3. Patrick Joseph
