Good third in a 1m handicap at Chelmsford on her penultimate start. Struggled back on turf at Brighton (1m, good-to-firm) subsequently however and interesting to see how she fares.

Placed on four of her five starts so far most recently when 4L third in a handicap over this trip at Newmarket (good-to-firm) a month ago. Notable runner racing off the same mark on this occasion.

Epona⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Shane Gray| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 68

Recorded a soft ground victory over 6f in novice company at Ayr last October. Not gone on from a promising 2L third over 6f at Doncaster (good) on seasonal reappearance in April however.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

10/3

Disappointed over 6f at Redcar (good-to-firm) last time out. Previously a good neck second over this C&D and return to this trip is in her favour.

Form: 63-4527

Forecasts

Praxidice (2/1), Saikung (3/1), Arletta Star (10/3), Epona (5/1), Prairie Spy (7/1)

PRAXIDICE has shown winning form here in the past and she can improve on her promising seasonal debut to take this fillies only handicap. Arletta Star is another to have run well at this venue before and she can take second ahead of the consistent Saikung who can take third.
