14/1

Last of 10 in handicap (40/1) at Nottingham (16f, good to firm) 13 days ago, but can make her presence felt if reproducing form of penultimate start at Bath.

Form: 882730

War Empress¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 61

7/2

Creditable third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 15/2) 13 days ago, unsuited by emphasis on speed. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 9-43233

50/1

6/1, last of 8 in handicap at Ripon (16f, good to soft) 42 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and easy enough to look elsewhere.

Career best when winning 12-runner handicap (7/4) at Catterick (15.9f, heavy) 7 days ago, unchallenged. Major claims under a penalty if able to back that up on this surface.

Form: 056731

50/1

25/1, good second of 11 in handicap hurdle at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time on the Flat and can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 7/60-856

20/1

Fifth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (12.1f, heavy, 25/1) 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip and others are more persuasive.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: J D Bethell| OR: 62

3/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Thirsk (12f, good) 29 days ago. Blinkers/tongue strap now enlisted and claims if benefiting from this step up in trip.

Form: 554

Spycracker¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: G Lee| T: R Craggs| OR: 58

7/1

Very good second of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good, 17/2) 16 days ago, clear of rest. Up 5 lb but definite claims if able to match that form back on tapeta.

Form: 077722

250/1

200/1, tailed-off eleventh of 12 to Atailof Two Cities in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, heavy) 7 days ago. One to swerve.

10/1

16/5, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, heavy) 35 days ago but more needed if he's to get off the mark here.

Form: 0-34542

Atailof Two Cities (5/2), Eagle's Foot (3/1), War Empress (7/2), Spycracker (7/1), Bouncing Bobby (10/1), Baladio (14/1), Flames Of York (20/1), Teescomponentsfly (22/1), High Moor Flyer (40/1), Gripper (50/1), Wemyss Point (50/1), Indian Vision (50/1), Heavenly Tale (100/1), Gloryella (250/1)

The unexposed EAGLE'S FOOT is an appealing alternative to Atailof Two Cities. The latter won by a street at Catterick and is obviously well treated under a penalty, but that was a weak race and it remains to be seen if she can reproduce that form on tapeta. Eagle's Foot may well improve for this stiffer test and should have races in him off this sort of mark. War Empress also enters calculations.
