Al Nafoorah²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 85| D

9/2

Has run well fresh last twice and the one to beat on some progressive form on turf late last season. Culminated in a career best when second at HQ and resumes in a lower grade.

Form: 410162-

Oh It's Saucepot²⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: C F Wall| OR: 80| D

8/1

Highly progressive filly who completed a hat-trick on turf and now up a further 10lb for her latest success. All those wins came with cut in the ground but doubtful we have still seen the best of her. A leading contender if she can transfer form.

Form: 79/3111-

Dance Teacher¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 80| CD

15/8

Won over the C&D off 2lb lower back in December but not been at the same level in three subsequent starts. Others preferred.

Form: 211-509

Finale²³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: R Winston| T: H Morrison| OR: 79| D

8/1

Won her first two last season so may be best caught fresh on this seasonal reappearance. Lightly-raced and stable in form but suited by soft ground on turf and needs to translate that to this track.

Form: 311425-

Happy Escape²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: A W Carroll| OR: 77| CD

7/2

Progressive filly for Neil Mulholland winning three from five including on recent turf debut. Other two wins came over this C&D and now moves up in grade on stable debut. Should be competitive.

Form: 23-1131

Magic Mirror^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: M G Rimell| OR: 72| CD

11/2

Goes well here but was punished for her February success and remains 9lb higher. Failed to take advantage of lower turf mark last time and may find life tough again.

Form: 13-6106

Forecasts

Dance Teacher (15/8), Happy Escape (7/2), Al Nafoorah (9/2), Magic Mirror (11/2), Oh It's Saucepot (8/1), Finale (8/1)

Oh It's Saucepot is rapidly improving and although she was down the field on her previous AW run here she is a different performer nowadays. AL NAFOORAH went well on last year's seasonal reappearance and ended the season with a fine effort when narrowly touched off in a much stronger grade. Happy Escape is another improving filly meeting her strongest opposition so far.
