Highgarden²⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 104

7/2

Soft-ground winner on debut and came good again in a Group 3 at Newmarket when last seen in September (1m4f, good to firm). Carries penalty and so will have to step forward on this handicap/AW debut.

Form: 346251-

Maid Up²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 102| D

7/1

Progressive in 2018 and didn't get the breaks last time in Group 3 Bronte Cup at York. Not a big shock to see her leaving that form behind and going close again.

Form: 1219-75

(5)

Bayshore Freeway²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 101| D

2/1

2-4 this year and not disgraced last time in Group 3 Bronte Cup at York. Should give a solid account in attempting to defy career-high rating.

Form: 33-2113

(3)

Lady Bergamot³²

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 88| CD

4/1

Won this race last year (White Chocolate second) and warmed up for return with solid run at Doncaster over trip shorter than ideal last month. 4lb higher rating to defy now.

Form: 7510-83

White Chocolate⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: Rosie Jessop⁽³⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 88

10/1

Only two runs on the AW, latest when 1L second to Lady Bergamot in this contest last year. Has enjoyed pair of turf runs to sharpen up and likely can give a good account.

Form: 2306-44

(7)

Jedhi¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Morrison| OR: 85| D

6/1

Winner of a Haydock handicap last month over 1m6f on good to soft, well held back there since in heavy-ground Group 3 race over 1m4f. This longer trip more suitable.

Form: 4156-16

Forecasts

Bayshore Freeway (2/1), Highgarden (7/2), Lady Bergamot (4/1), Eden Rose (5/1), Jedhi (6/1), Maid Up (7/1), White Chocolate (10/1)

A decent race of its kind and plenty with chances. Last year's winner Lady Bergamot looks primed for another big effort but this might go the way of EDEN ROSE. Mick Channon's charge is thriving over staying trips and should be well suited dropping back from two-miles, with a strong chance we've yet to see the best of her. Highgarden lacks a recent run but is capable of improved form this term while Maid Up and Bayshore Freeway are also more than capable of having their say.
