Casima¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 74| BF| D

40/1

Well-beaten when sent off favourite on return to turf last time out, and ratings leave her plenty to find with the likes of Stream Song.

Form: 60-3116

Cecchini¹⁸⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett

9/4

Off the mark on debut at Kempton back in November and up in trip here. This is obviously much tougher but that was a promising effort and she's worth a try at this level.

Flattering⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: A P O'Brien

6/4

Made a low-key debut but won very well indeed on second start at Cork last time, when appreciating the step up in trip. Slight question to answer with the ground here but represents very well respected connections.

Form: 0-1

Lady of Shalott²⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock

8/1

Won nicely on debut at Yarmouth back in October and appears to be the type who would improve with further racing. Step up in trip also a positive so there's plenty in her favour here.

Litigation¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: J Tate| BF

20/1

Couldn't improve on debut showing at Southwell at the same course last time out up to just shy of this trip. This is a much tougher ask and tough to see her figuring.

Form: 12

Perfect Clarity²⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox

5/1

Novice winner on debut at Nottingham last August, and pedigree suggests this trip would be preferable provided she doesn't need the run after such a long lay-off.

Queen Of Connaught^h¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M L W Bell| OR: 78| D

16/1

Off the mark at the third attempt at Wolverhampton last time out and makes his turf debut here. Tough to build a case for against some classier-looking types.

Forecasts

Flattering (6/4), Cecchini (9/4), Stream Song (7/2), Perfect Clarity (5/1), Lady of Shalott (8/1), Queen Of Connaught (16/1), Ejtyah (16/1), Litigation (20/1), Casima (40/1)

Flattering got off the mark in good style at Cork last time out, but John Gosden and Frankie Dettori won this last year with Hertford Dancer and there's every chance they can do so again with STREAM SONG. She has won her last two starts, albeit by small margins, but looks progressive and first-time cheek pieces are another positive. Dave Simock's Lady Of Shalott completes the shortlist.
