10/1
Her last success came at Bath (5f) back in September. Hasn't looked like landing a blow in her last four starts, all at Kempton (6f/7f). Is edging down the weights as a result and her prominent racing style will be better suited to this venue.

Bought from Stuart Williams for just 800 gns in December but has quickly repaid new connections with a second at Lingfield (5f) before an easy 4L win there (6f) last time. Up 7lb now to a career-high mark but hard to dismiss in current form.

Had a good 2019 with William Stone, including two wins (both 6f). Joined this yard for her last three outings and has been underwhelming on all occasions, beating two rivals at Wolverhampton (6f) last time. Needs to bounce back.

9/2
Decent AW strike-rate (5-14) but has been below her best in two runs since a short break. Beaten 5L into fifth at Kempton (7f) last time and is now 2lb above her last win, which came over C&D in September. A return to this venue may suit.

Switch to front-running tactics did the trick when running out an easy 3¾L winner at Newcastle (7f) last Friday. 3lb well-in under her penalty and should go close on a track that suits prominent racers.

6/1
Narrowly denied a hat-trick when beaten a neck at Kempton (6f) nine days ago (ahead of Irene May and Alicia Darcy). Hard to knock in current form and likely to make a bold bid off the same mark.

C&D winner four starts ago and has held her form well in three subsequent starts in defeat, all at Lingfield (6f). Very consistent mare and useful claimer rides again but the suspicion is she may find a couple too good.

Forecasts

Lalania (15/8), Siena Mia (4/1), Fantastic Flyer (9/2), Dubai Elegance (6/1), Kath's Lustre (8/1), Alicia Darcy (8/1), Irene May (10/1), Gold At Midnight (12/1)

Verdict

A very interesting race with plenty of the line-up in decent form. After making all at Newcastle last week, SIENA MIA is the selection follow-up despite dropping in trip. She showed good speed that day and this course suits front-runners. Lalania has found a new lease of life for this yard and, although racing off a career-high mark, she was impressive at Lingfield last time whilst Dubai Elegance and been a flying form lately and has the beating of two other rivals from her narrow defeat at Kempton recently.
