Cape Islay¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 86| D

6/1

Inconsistent in her five starts this year and while she was impressive at Chester two runs back, she failed to beat a rival home at Ascot last time, perhaps doing too much too soon. Drop back in trip possibly not ideal.

Form: 1-36616

(5)

Gallic²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: E Walker| OR: 85

4/1

Sole win in eight starts came on AW towards the end of last year. Running okay in defeat this term but unproven on this softer ground and others make more appeal.

Form: 341-342

(9)

Flighty Almighty³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 85

14/1

Novice event winner at Wolverhampton on seasonal debut and second career start but has failed to bulld on that twice since, particularly disappointing at Royal Ascot last time. Doesn't always settle.

Form: 5-160

(3)

Spanish Aria³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82

5/1

Didn't need to improve to land a novice event at Chelmsford in November having shaped with promise in previous starts on turf. Respectable effort at Royal Ascot last time out and shapes as if she will appreciate this drop in trip.

Form: 3421-60

(4)

Birdcage Walk^h³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: James Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 80| D

3/1

Heavy ground winner at Nottingham on handicap debut last time, despite racing keenly in the early stages. Less exposed than most in here and a 5lb rise in the weights probably underestimates her.

Form: 4-221

(8)

Geizy Teizy⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: M Botti| OR: 77| CD

11/4

Improved from debut to win a C&D novice event and fourth in a hot race at Chelmsford last time out. Opening handicap mark could underestimate her and the booking of De Sousa is a positive to her chance.

Form: 4-14

(6)

Elegant Love¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: David Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 66

20/1

Still a maiden after 10 starts and seemingly hasn't improved from two to three-years-old. May need more relief from the handicapper here.

Form: 227-746

Forecasts

Geizy Teizy (11/4), Birdcage Walk (3/1), Gallic (4/1), Spanish Aria (5/1), Livvys Dream (5/1), Cape Islay (6/1), Junderstand (6/1), Flighty Almighty (14/1), Elegant Love (20/1)

The form of the race GEIZY TEIZY finished fourth in last time has been done a few favours since and the return to this course and distance could see her get back in the winners' enclosure. Birdcage Walk should have more to give from this sort of mark while Livvys Dream is fairly prolific and has more experience than several of her main rivals.
