Burgonet¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84| D

6/4

Runner-up on first two starts, but has won her last two, latterly in handicap company over 1m4f at Leicester. Looks a typical improver for her respected stable and may well be up to defying this higher mark over this shorter trip.

Fabulous Red²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P Mathers| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 79

9/1

Landed a Kempton nursery last September, but has been beaten in handicaps at Windsor and Nottingham this spring. Might be vulnerable to some improving rivals.

Form: 2441-43

(3)

Sweet Charity¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Fran Berry| T: D J Coakley| OR: 78| D

15/8

Off the mark at the fourth attempt and her first start in handicap company when scoring at Leicester last time. Up 6lb, but is improving and merits plenty of respect.

Form: 33-21

(2)

Last Enchantment¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77

7/2

Landed a Newmarket handicap last month and was not disgraced in Listed company on latest outing. Remains on a feasible mark and will appreciate the return to handicap company.

Form: 29-2134

Forecasts

Burgonet (6/4), Sweet Charity (15/8), Last Enchantment (7/2), Fabulous Red (9/1)

An intriguing contest in which tactics will play no small part. BURGONET is an uncomplicated filly who is typical of her stable and she may be able to dictate matters from the front. She gets the vote, but the progressive Sweet Charity and bottom-weight Last Enchantment will be tough nuts to crack. Fabulous Red looks the most exposed of the four.
