Kvetuschka²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J F Egan| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 74| D

16/1

Game 16-1 winner of a Class 5 fillies' novice at Lingfield (1m2f, standard) in March; hasn't excelled in three starts in handicap company (1m2f-1m4f), falling 7lb in the weights accordingly; is likely to race prominently.

Bell Heather^p¹⁵

20/1

Still seeking her first win on the Roodeye, which is unusual for one in the Koukash silks; has competed at this track on each of her last six starts (7½f-1m2½f); last of 14 to Parys Mountain in a Class 4 handicap a fortnight ago.

Cuban Sun⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: T Eaves| T: J G Given| OR: 70| D

14/1

A Nottingham regular (form figures there read 32162); evidently is suited by some cut underfoot; same mark as when beaten ¾L by Capriolette in a 1m2f Class 4 fillies' handicap at Colwick Park (soft) in August; noteworthy.

11/2

Plenty of placed form, but no wins since scoring on the AW at Lingfield in January (1m) for Gay Kelleway; her best effort to date for Michael Herrington came over a similar trip at Ripon in August, when a neck second to Anna Bunina.

Age: 6| Weight: 8-7| J: Aled Beech⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

100/1

Six-race maiden (0-4 on the Flat); scarcely beating even a single rival in those starts; holds no conceivable chance whatsoever from so far out of the handicap proper; look elsewhere with confidence.

Forecasts

Fannie By Gaslight (13/8), Inclyne (11/4), Lady Alavesa (11/2), Lady Mascara (7/1), Arctic Spirit (12/1), Cuban Sun (14/1), Katiesheidinlisa (14/1), Kvetuschka (16/1), Bell Heather (20/1), Ebqaa (25/1), Triple Nickle (33/1), J'ouvert (40/1), Piccolo Ramoscello (100/1)

Ebqaa took this race at odds of 33-1 last year, with the Dr Marwan Koukash-owned Bell Heather a close third. However, neither is considered as the potential solution this time around. Lady Mascara appeals as a progressive type for James Fanshawe, but how she takes to the switch to softer ground remains to be seen. Such a factor won't trouble the returning-to-form Fannie By Gaslight or the Nottingham regular Cuban Sun, with both fillies' entitled to have a major say. However, the preferred option is just the August Kempton winner INCLYNE. She remains feasibly handicapped in the midst of a positive spell for the Kingsclere handler Ian Balding.
