Sir Percy filly was a C&D winner in April and held her form on the AW afterwards. Has contested tough turf handicaps most recently and can be a big player in this contest sporting first-time cheekpieces.

Zebedee filly is an 18-race maiden and the positives have few and far between so far, easier to look somewhere else for potential winner.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: D C Costello| T: J A Osborne| OR: 65

18/1

Showed some promise in novice company last year over 7f/1m and may have needed the run in last month's handicap debut at Kempton over a mile. Tackles this trip for the first time and interesting should market be in favour.

Form: 954-0

66/1

Daughter of Motivator was a C&D winner in May last year for Eve Johnson Houghton off a mark of 56. Failed hurdles career after and hasn't been able to threaten in seven starts since joining this trainer. Up against it in current mood.

Forecasts

Vampish (4/7), Hooflepuff (9/4), Thawry (12/1), Rusper's Gift (18/1), Shovel It On (20/1), Interrogation (20/1), Roser Moter (66/1), Misty Breese (125/1)

VAMPISH has tackled some tough assignments on turf recently and this previous C&D scorer could well flourish back around here in this company with first-time cheekpieces and the champion jockey-elect Oisin Murphy taking over in the plate. Any money for Rusper's Gift going up in distance would catch the eye, while Hooflepuff has run two solid races in handicaps since joining this trainer and will be fancied now dropped into a claimer.
