Carolinae⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 92| C| D

20/1

Course winner who was a fine second on AW Championship's Final's day last week. Step up in trip will prove no hindrance to her but may struggle with a few of these off level weights given that others have achieved more.

Form: 3-22142

Hunaina^t³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Alexis Badel| T: H F Devin| OR: 100| D

7/2

Gained two wins last year including on Polytrack at Dundalk. Followed up a placed effort in Listed class at Deauville two runs back with a win in a classy four runner event at Chantilly. Possibility of more to come and can make her presence felt.

Form: 1510-31

La Figlia¹⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: James Doyle| T: J Noseda

7/2

Well thought of (5/6fav for her debut) and tried in Listed company next time at Newmarket. Has run well on both starts without getting her head in front but quality of this is high for a Listed contest and she needs to have improved plenty.

Form: 24-

Lucymai⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Duern| T: D K Ivory| OR: 91| C

15/2

Recorded an AW hat-trick over the winter but given very little chance of winning at Kempton two starts back when posted three wide throughout and received a rough passage when placed at Lingfield last time. Not ruled out if seen to better effect.

Form: 31-1153

(7)

Paco's Angel²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 99

20/1

Only saw the racecourse three times last year. Placed in Listed company at Royal Ascot but disappointing on each run either side of that. Could still be more to come but she's entitled to need this on her return to action.

Form: 214/435-

Peak Princess^b¹⁶²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 89| C

22/1

Two wins from 12 starts including a course success in August. Tends to run her better races here but can be slowly away and has a fair bit to find with most of her rivals.

Form: 215827-

Shenanigans¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 98| BF| D

6/1

Won her maiden on AW and looked progressive throughout her three-year-old campaign, winning back-to-back Class 3 races before narrowly beaten at Newmarket in a Class 2. Yard's runners often ready to go off an absence and she has to be respected.

Form: 362112-

Smart Call¹¹⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 110| D

7/2

Three-time Grade 1 winner when trained in South Africa, her form hasn't quite been up to that level since she's been campaigned in Europe. Fair effort in the Hong Kong Vase when last seen though and that sets the standard on form here.

Form: 347467-

Soul Silver⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D M Simcock| OR: 90| C| D

20/1

Course winner who has been running well on AW this winter. Compromised her chance when slowly away in AW Championships at Lingfield last week and not always sharp from the stalls; probably up against it here on form.

Form: 404-215

(3)

Summer Icon⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 90

20/1

Very consistent filly who has been running well on the AW this winter. Yard have been in fine form in recent weeks but this filly is probably up against it here up against some classy sorts.

Form: 3-16226

Forecasts

Hunaina (7/2), La Figlia (7/2), Smart Call (7/2), Shenanigans (6/1), Lucymai (15/2), Soul Silver (20/1), Paco's Angel (20/1), Carolinae (20/1), Summer Icon (20/1), Peak Princess (22/1)

While SMART CALL is yet to get her head in front since joining Sir Michael Stoute's yard, the drop in grade is bound to see her in a better light provided she can overcome the widest draw (10). Lucymai has been unlucky on her last couple of starts and has potential to do better while Hunaina could prove to be the main danger after her efforts in France lately.
