Useful filly who boasted a mark of 71 two years ago when in the care of trainer Chris Wall. Struggling of late and possibly best watched on stable debut.

Rated 85 in the summer of 2017 when in the Charles Hills yard. Has been consistently tumbling down the weights since and is another possibly best watched on stable debut.

Has not had the best of luck in three defeats here but requires a chunk of improvement to play a role in the finish in this contest.

60-rated handicapper for Kevin Ryan a couple of years ago and has failed to hit the frame in six starts at this venue. Plenty to find on recent offerings.

Plundered a couple of 6f contests at Newcastle and Wolverhampton on the AW in October. Well held latest start at Navan but could be a different proposition at this venue.

Not disgraced in a couple of runs here over C&D last month. Usually ridden close to the pace and could be dangerous here if getting the breaks.

Second of 14 beaten ½L over C&D a couple of weeks ago when meeting trouble in running. Likely to improve on that run and has the assistance of adept claimer.

Lightly raced maiden without a win in nine starts. Promising AW debut last month when running Tomwontlisten to 3L over 7f. Tough draw.

Course winner that has also won over the trip. Winner over 7f here in October off a basement mark and not beaten far in three subsequent starts. Capable of running a bit race in current form.

12 race maiden who is yet to hit the frame in five starts at this track. Plenty to prove in this contest looking at exposed form.

Dwelt and slowly away on first start here last month eventually finishing eighth of 13 beaten 4¼ behind Polly Douglas. Hard to see her making any significant impact.

Not beaten far in a couple of starts here last month but needs to improve on a number of sluggish displays over the year. Looks opposable from disadvantaged draw.

Forecasts

Billyfairplay (7/2), Arlecchino's Rock (5/1), Approbare (5/1), Mercury (6/1), Bellick (7/1), Cappadocia (10/1), Tai Sing Yeh (12/1), Chillala (12/1), Seyasah (12/1), The Bittern Cry (16/1), Tush (20/1), Gillabbey Rock (20/1), Mr Michael (20/1), Baile An Roba (25/1), Coral Cluster (33/1), Benson Dubois (33/1)

Verdict

Course winner that has also won over the trip, ARLECCHINO'S ROCK can get off the mark over C&D at the fourth time of asking, dropping in trip following a number of solid and consistent efforts last month. The five-year-old can see off the attentions of Bellick, second of 14 last month over C&D and top weight, Cappadocia, who continues off a dangerous mark.
  1. Arlecchino's Rock
  2. Bellick
  3. Cappadocia
