11/1

Placed over this trip on the AW at Dundalk early last month. Held in two subsequent starts including in first time blinkers (tongue tie added in this contest) over 1m at Listowel (yielding) last time out. Worth a check in the market.

7/2

Eight race maiden ran well to finish 1L second in a soft ground 6f handicap at Salisbury a fortnight ago when returning from a break. Top jockey in the saddle and is one to note for a useful yard.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Bailey| OR: 63| BF| D

3/1

8/1

Struggled in six starts so far most recently when 17th of 18 in a Group 3 at Ascot (7f, good) last week. This looks a more realistic target.

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Raul Da Silva| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 47

12/1

Improved on previous efforts this campaign when finishing third over 1m on the AW here last time out. Interesting to see if he can replicate that effort back on turf.

Form: 79-8973

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Ryan Tate| T: J L Spearing| OR: 47| D

33/1

Dual winner including over this trip at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last July. Struggled in the main since and probably best watched on seasonal debut off a mark 2lb higher than for that Chepstow success.

Your Mothers' Eyes (3/1), Stay Forever (7/2), Song of The Isles (9/2), Foreign Legion (8/1), Air Hair Lair (8/1), War Advocate (11/1), Stand Firm (12/1), Confab (14/1), Kendergarten Kop (16/1), Miss Icon (25/1), Amor Kethley (25/1), Capala (25/1), Billiebrookedit (25/1), Captain Sedgwick (33/1), Swiss Cross (33/1), Flying Sakhee (50/1), Raise A Little Joy (50/1), More Salutes (66/1)

STAY FOREVER was slowly away when finishing runner-up over shorter last time out and she is taken to defy a poor draw to break her maiden in the concluding race on the card. The selection has a leading jockey taking over from an apprentice rider on this occasion and she can get the better of fellow three-year-old Your Mothers' Eyes who has been in good form in recent starts. Third place can go to Song of The Isles who was a winner here on her most recent start.
