Scottish Jig³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 84

10/11

Won in good style at Newbury on just her second start and then ran into a smart sort when third at HQ. Has shown improvement on each start and looks as though there is plenty more to come on handicap debut.

Form: 7-13

Pride's Gold⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: P Cosgrave| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 82| C

7/2

Placed on her first two starts before progressing again to win impressively from the front over 7f at this course. Tough ask in the Sandringham last time and could easily bounce back.

Form: 3210

Arabian Gift^p1³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: B Doyle| T: C Appleby| OR: 82| BF

12/1

Well-bred filly who cost 525,000gns as a yearling but has gone backwards in two runs since promising debut. Cheekpieces now added and needs to improve on handicap debut..

Form: 2-45

(2)

Allante²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 77| CD

11/4

Has shown a clear preference for the AW so far and bounced back from a disappointing run on turf for a battling win over this C&D. Up 5lb but could still be ahead of the handicapper on this surface.

Form: 02-5261

Forecasts

Scottish Jig (10/11), Allante (11/4), Pride's Gold (7/2), Arabian Gift (12/1)

All four runners like to race on the pace so despite the small field this should be a truly run race. Arabian Gift is the one who is not progressing at this stage so is overlooked while Scottish Jig has had the strong form of her latest third franked since. Pride's Gold will be a danger to all if reproducing her previous course form and could be tough to pass but preference is for ALLANTE as she took a clear step forwards over this C&D last time and the fact that she won a protracted three-way battle gives the form a strong look.
