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.

War Empress¹³

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

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

7/1

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.
