Tig Tog²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 76

6/1

Yet to win in seven starts but hinted again at Kempton (7f, AW) that this step up in trip could be a good move. Race fit here and likely to run her race. Each-way claims.

Form: 24833-3

Felisa⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 75| D

16/1

Won at Lingfield (1m, AW) back in January but has looked in the grip of the handicapper since. Better efforts have tended to come with good in the description so this ground is a question mark.

Form: 32-1727

Cosmopolitan Queen²¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 75

7/2

Has a lovely pedigree and has shown plenty of promise on occasions. Likely that the break will have done her some good and better things can be expected this year. Cheekpieces left off and would go well if ready to go after almost seven months off.

Last Enchantment²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 72| BF

4/1

Returned from a break at Lingfield (1m, AW) four weeks ago and was beaten just a head after finishing strongly. Repeat of that effort back on turf would see her go very close today.

Form: 2929-2

Chantresse¹⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 68

6/1

Debut effort at Haydock would suggest she's on a nice opening mark here (winner now rated 88). Yard can ready one first time off a break and any market move could well be significant on handicap debut.

Form: 485-

Lady Alavesa¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D Allan| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 67

3/1

Has proved liking for ease in the ground on a couple of occasions so far so conditions here are no problem. Ran well when second at Windsor (1m, heavy) on latest start although high head carriage would be a slight concern.

Form: 54148-2

Elixsoft¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 66

12/1

Improved quite a bit over the winter on the AW and is creeping up the weights as a result. Question to answer today on switch back to turf but is race fit and hard to dismiss.

Forecasts

Lady Alavesa (3/1), Cosmopolitan Queen (7/2), Last Enchantment (4/1), Tig Tog (6/1), Chantresse (6/1), Elixsoft (12/1), Felisa (16/1), Supersymmetry (16/1)

A market check for Chantresse is needed as she could be on a nice opening mark. Last Enchantment ran a cracker on return at Lingfield and would go very close with a repeat effort back on turf today. These conditions hold no fears for Lady Alavesa and she could also run well but preference is for COSMOPOLITAN QUEEN. The daughter of Dubawi has a fine pedigree and it would be no surprise were she to prove better than this mark at some stage and maybe today is the day to catch her when fresh.
