85/40

Polytrack winner last year for Owen Burrows over 7f and made bright start for new trainer after 224 days off when second at Beverley (7½f, good; 12-1) 13 days ago. Should have more to offer in-form Kevin Stott legged up now.

Form: 65415-2

9/1

Sixties Icon mare has gained all three career wins on soft ground (1m/1m2f); but she was second on seasonal bow at Pontefract (1m2f, good; 15-2) nine days ago and commands respect with that effort in mind.

Form: 31-5702

5/4

Just edged out in a three-way dive for the line on seasonal return at Doncaster (1m, good; 18-1); that was a first crack at handicapping and, despite the higher grade, looks almost certain to go close again from same mark.

Form: 327-2

14/1

Some promising form on the AW during 2019 but yet to replicate that on turf; including at Beverley (7½f, good; 11-1) on seasonal return 13 days ago. Has to find improvement from somewhere.

Form: 6422-37

Let Her Loose¹⁷

11/2

Mukhadram filly showed promise in novice company in the autumn over 7f/1m on good/soft. Well held on recent h'cap bow at Haydock (1m2f, good; 20-1) but that looks to have been a strong contest and more expected down in distance with fitness boosted.

Form: 335-7

Bye Bye Euro^p1²⁵⁰

25/1

Filly ran pleasing fourth on handicap bow at Ayr (1m, good; 50-1) in September, though nowhere as good next time on Tapeta at Newcastle (only AW run). Back from a layoff here and could do better in first-time cheekpieces from reduced mark.

Forecasts

True Believer (5/4), Dawaaween (85/40), Secretarial (5/1), Let Her Loose (11/2), Sarvi (8/1), Iconic Code (9/1), Penmellyn (14/1), Bye Bye Euro (25/1)

Any rain will be a help for course winner Sarvi, who might be the choice on soft ground; but DAWAAWEEN made a pleasing start for new connections when second at Beverley this month and she can go one better from the same mark with Royal Ascot headline-maker Kevin Stott taking over in the plate. True Believer just missed out on handicap bow at Doncaster and is a big threat, while Let Her Loose is considered dropping in distance having cut her teeth in a strong handicap at Haydock last time.
