Gold Filigree³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 95| D

4/1

Has a better record on AW than turf but produced an excellent second when stepped up to Listed class at Bath last time out. Stays this trip fine but softer ground is a slight concern here.

Form: 1340-12

(2)

Isaan Queen¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson| OR: 96| D

9/2

Won a competitive Listed event at Chelmsford last time out, staying on in game fashion to get up late. 10lb higher back on turf here though and this demands more.

Form: 1225-31

(4)

Excellent Times²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 86| D

7/2

Very consistent last year and while she wasn't at her best at Doncaster on return (7f), she should appreciate the drop back in trip here. Versatile with regards ground and on a fair handicap mark.

Form: 73212-5

(3)

Dizzy G³⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 80| BF| D

11/2

Reeled off a hat-trick of wins last summer before finishing fourth of six on her last start at Newmarket in July. Plenty to do following her long absence off career-high mark.

Form: 691114-

Our Little Pony⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 72

12/1

Won three times last year but well beaten either side of the winter from her revised handicap mark and she returns out of the handicap here; others hold stronger claims.

Form: 31417-8

(5)

Kareena Kapoor¹²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Egan| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 82| D

2/1

Improved from her first two starts to win at Newcastle on return in January, idling towards the closing stages. The form of that race doesn't look anything special though and she needs more here on handicap debut.

Form: 23-1

EXCELLENT TIMES was in good form throughout last season and may have needed her return at Doncaster last month. With the promise she may come on for that race, there's plenty to like about her claims here. Isaan Queen ran well in Listed company last time, though may have been slightly flattered by being held up off a strong pace. Gold Filigree can't be ruled out if she build on her Listed second last time.
