Always A Drama⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: C Hills| OR: 66| D

4/6

Both wins at Kempton, the latest when staying on well to beat Maximum Power over this trip. Carries a penalty for that win, but promising rider's claim helps offset that extra burden.

Form: 01-31

Lalania³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: S C Williams| OR: 69| D

6/1

Well beaten here in December, but fared much better when 1½L third of 5 to Aguerooo at Lingfield last time, although again came under pressure at an early stage, and no surprise to see hood left off after that.

Form: 33440-3

Dotted Swiss^b³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 68| BF| D

6/1

Caught the eye when a fast-finishing third of 10 at Wolverhampton on penultimate start, and saw too much daylight when last of 5 behind Agueroo last time. Could easily bounce back, and becoming well handicapped.

Form: 0680-35

War No More⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett| T: R Varian| OR: 63

10/1

Beautifully bred daughter of War Front who cost $510,000 as a yearling. Bettered debut form when fourth at Wolverhampton in December, and better than the result last time. Makes handicap debut having left Ed Walker, and market useful.

Form: 84-8

Avon Green⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: J Tuite| OR: 62

25/1

Sole win came over 5f at Wolverhampton, although ran well when second over this trip at Kempton in October. Failed to handle home bend at Lingfield on latest start, and better than that run implies.

Form: 88244-7

Dreamboat Annie^p²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: M D I Usher| OR: 60| D

8/1

Ran well when runner-up here in November, albeit posing no win threat, but she has been below form on both starts since, and appears to face a fairly stiff task here.

Form: 34527-6

Forecasts

Always A Drama (4/6), Lalania (6/1), Dotted Swiss (6/1), Dreamboat Annie (8/1), War No More (10/1), Avon Green (25/1)

The valuable claim of Cieren Fallon can help ALWAYS A DRAMA defy a penalty for her recent Kempton win, and she is fancied to follow up, for all she is meeting an interesting one in War No More, a regally-bred filly who makes her debut for Roger Varian from what could be a lenient mark. The market will reveal what is expected. Avon Green blew the home bend at Lingfield last time, and can make the frame assuming she doesn't repeat that scenario.
