10/1
Four-time winner in 2019 who got back on track when fourth of 10 in handicap at Sandown last month. Each-way claims if able to build on that, but the handicapper is probably in charge for now.

Forecasts

Sashenka (4/1), Champs De Reves (4/1), Amjaady (6/1), Red Secret (6/1), Casa Comigo (17/2), Road To Paris (17/2), Sandy Steve (9/1), Blue Medici (10/1), Hey Gracie (14/1)

Verdict

Sylvester Kirk's SASHENKA gets the vote to strike having raced closer to the pace than ideal at Goodwood last time. Her mark eases a touch and she should be able to make her presence felt back on the AW. Previous course winner Sandy Steve heads up the list of dangers, along with Champs de Reves and Amjaady.

  1. SASHENKA (GER)
  2. SANDY STEVE
  3. CHAMPS DE REVES
