Spirit Of Lucerne^p1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P S McEntee| OR: 60

16/1

Sent off at big prices on each of her three starts, though her latest two starts haven't been devoid of promise. First-time cheekpieces could eke out improvement on handicap debut.

Form: 5-35

(1)

Arishka⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: K T O'Neill| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 60

15/8

Showed little in five starts last summer but produced a better effort on her first start in 161 days at Newcastle last time out. Set a strong pace that day and did well to stay on for second so there may be more to come from her here.

Form: 63084-2

(7)

Amor Kethley¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: George Wood| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 60

12/1

Showed improved form on her third career start at Lingfield last time out. Will be even better if she can learn how to settle and probably more to come on handicap debut here.

Form: 7-03

(6)

Valley Belle^v²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56| CD

4/1

Won over C&D on debut for this yard but has struggled from her revised mark subsequently and has developed a habit of missing the break. May be seen to better effect when stepped back up in trip.

Form: 2776-55

(5)

Grandee Daisy²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: J Hughes| OR: 56| D

6/1

Impressive winner on handicap debut at Kempton but seemingly well suited to the pace collapse that day and she's disappointed in two starts since. Has a bit to prove off this mark at present.

Form: 89016-9

(8)

Global Acclamation^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 54

6/1

A maiden after six starts and shown very little to date. Well beaten at Lingfield last time out in first-time headgear. Mark continues to slide but looks a risky proposition at present.

Form: 55780-7

(4)

Farol¹¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given| OR: 53

10/1

Showed bits of promise in two turf starts last year but comprehensively beaten over C&D in October. May do better now handicapping but leap of faith needed to fancy her here.

Form: 558-

(3)

Yfenni¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: F Norton| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

10/1

Best effort yet when third of 11 at Lingfield last month and entitled to come on for that first start in 154 days. Did get an easy time of it on the front end that day though, so not guaranteed to back the run up in what should be a truly run race.

Form: 0039-3

(9)

Tintern Spirit¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

33/1

Showed nothing in her first five runs but shaped a little better at Lingfield last time out. Not certain to build on that, particularly from the widest draw here.

Form: 00008-6

Forecasts

Arishka (15/8), Valley Belle (4/1), Global Acclamation (6/1), Grandee Daisy (6/1), Farol (10/1), Yfenni (10/1), Amor Kethley (12/1), Spirit Of Lucerne (16/1), Tintern Spirit (33/1)

ARISHKA showed much better form last time out and with the possibility she could come on for the run, she's taken to get the better of these rivals from her ideal draw (1). Spirit Of Lucerne can't be ruled out in first-time headgear while Amor Kethley is respected on handicap debut here.
