3/1

Won on debut here (6f, heavy) in September 2017; has shown some reasonable handicap form since (mainly on the AW); poor on turf in 2019, but does drop back in trip; faces a tough task off top-weight (as a 4yo).

Form: 4-35280

Just My Type⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 73

13/8

Iffraaj filly (€130,000 yearling); could only plug on at the one-pace when finishing 5½L third to Neon Sea in a 7f fillies' novice at Goodwood (good to firm) in May; improvement is a distinct possibility over this trip on handicap debut.

Form: 855-3

Saikung¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: James Doyle| T: C Hills| OR: 69

13/8

Placed on five of her six starts, most recently when beaten ¾L by the re-opposing Arletta Star at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) 17 days ago; renews rivalry on 3lb better terms; first attempt over 1m.

Form: 63-3332

Longville Lilly⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: T Wall| OR: 45

66/1

Started at big prices, and is yet to beat a single rival in three racecourse appearances (7f-1m3f+); holds no conceivable chance.

Form: 00-0

Lady Lavinia³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Cam Hardie| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 55

16/1

Her sole win (1-13) came in a 7f Redcar seller (good to firm) last summer; beaten just under 3L by Archies Lad in a Leicester claimer on her penultimate start; competes from a career low handicap mark (53); others preferred.

Form: 84-5329

Forecasts

Saikung (13/8), Just My Type (13/8), Arletta Star (5/2), This Girl (3/1), Lady Lavinia (16/1), Longville Lilly (66/1)

Just My Type hasn't appeared to be any great shakes to date, although it is still early days in her racing career and there remains the distinct possibility of further improvement over today's longer trip. However, in a race where three of the runners can be just about discounted, the Carlisle foes ARLETTA STAR and Saikung are expected to slug out the finish, with the Tim Easterby-trained filly fancied to confirm her superiority despite a 3lb rise in the weights.
