4/5

Decent filly who won over C&D last April and again hit the target when landing French Listed race in November in heavy ground. Given time to recover from that so every chance she will put up another bold display.

25/1

Seven wins to her name, most recently on Newmarket's July course in the summer when successful in 6f handicap off 81. Hasn't run well last three starts on AW this winter and looks to have a bit to find on these terms.

Lucymai^e/c¹³

5/1

Last win came in £50,000 fillies handicap at Chelmsford in August 2018. Appeared to run a better race than for some time when second at Lingfield last time and now equipped with first-time eyeshield.

Rock On Baileys^b¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 92| C| D

10/3

Won six 6f handicaps in 2018 and scooted up the grades but had been without a win for 17 months prior to beating Lucymai at Lingfield last time over this trip. Meets that rival on same terms and should be very much on the premises again.

Second Collection^h³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Phil Dennis| T: A W Carroll| OR: 83| C

12/1

Won four times over 6f here between March and June last year and clearly loves this place. Up a furlong having kept on over 6f at Kempton last time, but has a lot to find at the weights in this conditions event.

Forecasts

Invitational (4/5), Rock On Baileys (10/3), Lucymai (5/1), Second Collection (12/1), Emily Goldfinch (25/1)

INVITATIONAL looks the most likely winner having been giving a break since battlineg home in Listed company on heavy ground in France in November. This previous C&D winner has plenty going for her on these terms. Rock On Baileys beat Lucy Mai by just over a length at Lingfield recently and the pair do battle again. Preference is for the former to confirm placings meeting her old foe on the same terms, but she will do well to score again.
