Laubali²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: M Harley| T: D O'Meara| OR: 72| C

15/8

Scored over 6f at this venue before finishing fourth of six off 6lb higher at Leicester. Drop in trip should not be a problem, nor should this return to the AW.

Form: 3-02714

Three Little Birds¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: S Kirk| OR: 69| CD

1/1

Back to winning ways with an emphatic C&D victory earlier this month. Likely to take some beating off 6lb higher if in the same mood.

Form: 383541

(4)

Madame Ritz^h⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: R T Phillips| OR: 63| C

14/1

Only win in six starts came over 6f at this venue, but last two runs have been disappointing. Needs to show considerably more off this lower rating.

Form: 3-31580

(5)

Brandy Station^h⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 61| D

13/2

Hampered at the start when well behind Three Little Birds over C&D, but showed much more when second of six at Newcastle last week. In good heart and not without a chance.

Form: 904562

Go Sandy^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 50

28/1

Second at 250-1 to Three Little Birds, with stable companion Brandy Station behind, over C&D last time. That was easily the best run of her career so far and she has prospects of turning the tables on these revised terms.

Forecasts

Three Little Birds (1/1), Laubali (15/8), Brandy Station (13/2), Madame Ritz (14/1), Go Sandy (28/1)

Go Sandy and Brandy Station were behind THREE LITTLE BIRDS over C&D last time and although they are weighted to finish much closer, the placings may well be confirmed given the winner's authority that day. Top-weight Laubali has prospects on his return to the AW, but Madame Ritz needs more if she is to figure.
