Nightingale Valley²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Jason Watson| T: W S Kittow| OR: 78| C| D

20/1

Goes well fresh and duly obliged at Nottingham on her reappearance. Has won here previously but questions to answer off this mark, particularly as she has finished last on her two most recent visits when similarly rated.

Form: 0/5738-1

Kitcarina¹⁸²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 73

9/2

Lightly-raced French import who was bought for €90,000. Has been placed on the AW and there is a form line which suggests she may have got in here on a reasonable mark. Worth considering if there are positive market signals.

Here's Two²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: R J Hodges| OR: 72| CD

33/1

C&D winner goes particularly well for this rider. Dropped in class and on a lower mark compared to last time and that makes him a serious contender.

Form: 5340-13

Spanish Aria²⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82| D

11/4

Took six races to open her account last year and did so in an ordinary event. In good hands but her form does not warrant this mark and she is meeting fitter rivals.

Form: 503421-

Clara Peeters¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: G & J Moore| OR: 82

3/1

Salisbury winner whose worst performance came on sole AW start when behind Spanish Aria. Showed that form to be wrong when producing a career best on Goodwood return and has a plum draw here.

Form: 2155-2

(10)

Ideological²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 81| CD

9/2

Dual C&D winner last autumn and returns following a run over further in better company than this three weeks ago. Down in the weights and and of obvious interest.

Form: 1213-84

(9)

Ruby Gates¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 70

66/1

Winner of three AW races who produced a career best at Wolverhampton over Christmas. Nicely weighted on that form but not as good since and best efforts have come on Tapeta.

Form: 282-660

(4)

Camelot Rakti²²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: J Tate| OR: 78

8/1

Now 13lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton in October but both the second and third have each won two races since. Rider 17-46 for the stable and has every chance in what looks an open heat.

Form: 780412-

(12)

Pytilia¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 74| D

16/1

Off the mark in a poor Lingfield maiden and comfortably held in two handicaps since. Has a less obvious chance than many in this.

Form: 322-186

Black Medick⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Liam Jones| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 72

66/1

Ran poorly on penultimate start but is generally consistent and has run some excellent races at big prices. Goes well here but this looks tougher than anything she has taken on recently.

Form: 6-14605

Forecasts

Spanish Aria (11/4), Clara Peeters (3/1), Kitcarina (9/2), Ideological (9/2), Chloellie (6/1), Vixen (7/1), Camelot Rakti (8/1), Pytilia (16/1), Nightingale Valley (20/1), Here's Two (33/1), Ruby Gates (66/1), Black Medick (66/1)

A case can be made for most in this and the task of finding the winner is made that much harder with Kitcarina making her UK debut for an in-form yard. Her one run which can be mapped onto English form suggests she may have got in a couple of pounds lightly and the market will provide clues to her fitness. Camelot Rakti, Spanish Aria and IDEOLOGICAL represent leading yards with the latter preferred on grounds of fitness, track record and a mark which looks more generous. Clara Peeters ran well on her return at Goodwood, whilst both Chloellie and Here's Two go well here. Vixen may prove the main danger having returned from a break with an excellent second at Nottingham.
