Kalagia⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 75| BF

6/4

Very consistent this year and has looked slightly unlucky not to get her head in front so far losing out narrowly to Harvest Day over C&D. Should at the revised weights be able to reverse that form and give another good account.

Form: 272332

Final Treat^p1⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75

10/3

It generally pays to take notice when the trainer sends one here and this may prove no exception with a promising individual like her. She looked to need the run on her handicap debut; cheekpieces on now and better expected.

Form: 438-6

(3)

Harvest Day^t⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 65| CD

2/1

Has done well transferring her good AW (Fibresand) form onto the turf and winning over C&D last time appreciating the trip and sounder conditions. She's been progressing generally but has a tough task at the weights with Kalagia.

Form: 7-11421

Lyrical Pursuit^p1⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

40/1

Lightly-raced sort who remains a maiden and went backwards from her reappearance on her second run in a handicap. Cheekpieces now used for the first time in an effort to find some improvement.

Form: 928-70

(5)

Havana Mariposa²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 61

7/1

Finished third on her handicap debut (nursery) last year but has failed to show an awful lot in two handicap attempts this year despite a falling mark. Now down to a career-low mark but has something to prove still.

Form: 3834-88

Forecasts

Kalagia (6/4), Harvest Day (2/1), Final Treat (10/3), Havana Mariposa (7/1), Lyrical Pursuit (40/1)

The revised weights give Kalagia a real chance of gaining a deserved first victory and reversing C&D form with Harvest Day from last time out although the latter of that duo is a tough cookie and may well be a tough nut to crack. However, the pair of them may well be usurped by FINAL TREAT who will have come on a great deal for her Newmarket run and comes from a yard with a very good record here and she looks the one to side with in the finale.
