40/1

Modest on Flat/over hurdles but did offer some encouragement for new yard when seventh at Goodwood (11f) 3 weeks ago, leaving the impression this step up in trip will suit.

Forecasts

Master Milliner (11/4), Call My Bluff (10/3), Speech Room (7/1), War Empress (15/2), Be Easy (10/1), Tulane (11/1), Arthalot (12/1), Feldspar (16/1), Walk It Talk It (18/1), Exclaim (28/1), Sea Sculpture (28/1), Frankincense (40/1), Looking For Carl (66/1), Passing Clouds (150/1)

An open look to this concluding staying handicap. WAR EMPRESS could be sharper for her recent comeback run over C&D and gets the nod to gain reward for some consistent efforts since handicapping. Call My Bluff and Master Milliner are respected as last-time-out winners, while Feldspar is bred to be better than his low opening mark and needs a betting check.
