Lorna Cole

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir

Madame Vitesse¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey

16/1

Signs she was going the right way last time when recovering from a slow break, and the loss of a shoe, to be a fast finishing fifth at Wolverhampton. Drops a furlong here and can ill afford a third poor start in a row.

Form: 75

Miss President⁷⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: R M H Cowell

25/1

Well beaten on both starts thus far and drops a furlong this time. Has not shown enough but in capable hands.

Form: 08

(9)

Orange Blossom¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: J G Given| OR: 82

9/2

Has a lofty BHA rating by virtue of a sixth of nine effort in the Lowther. Latest run at Catterick suggests that run is flattering although the blinkers are removed this time.

Form: 06606

(2)

Raheeb

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: Owen Burrows

11/4

Daughter of Kodiac who is a half-sister among others to Group 3 winner Extortionist and cost 180,000 gns as a foal. Plenty of speed in pedigree and possible answer here in a weak race. Withdrawn (9/4 at time) for being unruly last month.

Shining⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 74

13/8

Half-sister to seven winners including four AW winners who needed a minimum of 6f. Nevertheless, looked unlucky over this trip at Kempton last time and this will take little winning.

Form: 46392

What A Dazzler

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner

50/1

Coach House half-sister to three winners including Little Boy Blue who was a good sprinter for this yard and handled the AW, as well as 17 time winner (including 8 AW victories) A Little Bit Dusty.

Forecasts

Shining (13/8), Raheeb (11/4), Orange Blossom (9/2), Storm Blitz (7/1), Lorna Cole (8/1), Madame Vitesse (16/1), Miss President (25/1), Zeebad (50/1), What A Dazzler (50/1)

Not the easiest of races to solve with Orange Blossom the pick on official ratings but looking flattered by the assessment. Madame Vitesse caught the eye last time in a performance that can be upgraded given the difficulties she had to overcome. Raheeb has a precocious pedigree and would not have to be anything special to open her account, but there are issues to iron out having got worked up at the start ahead of her intended debut. As a result SHINING is the preferred option given an average BHA rating and a good run over this trip last time when unlucky in running.
