Three-time 6f winner last year, latest at Newbury in October. Found step up to 7f against him on final run, so not ruled out on his return.

7/1
Garnered four victories last year at 6f/7f. Off 7 months but yard among the winners so he's much respected despite her absence.

12/1
Fairly useful 6f winner at his best, but off the track since coming in last of 8 at Bath 9 months ago. Cheekpieces back on, and he needs to hit the ground running on his comeback.

3/1
Low-mileage 4-y-o who scored twice last summer before signing off with excellent second in 6f Kempton handicap. Has more to offer this season, so expected to be bang there on her return.

Forecasts

Shimmering Dawn (2/1), Raaeb (3/1), Breath Of Joy (3/1), Mountain Brave (7/1), Punchbowl Flyer (10/1), Corinthia Knight (12/1)

Verdict

BREATH OF JOY scored twice in an excellent 2020 and appeals as the sort to go on again this term, so she gets the vote at the chief expense of fellow 4-y-o filly Mountain Brave, who represents the in-form Mark Johnston team and seems sure to be on her mettle for her return. Punchbowl Flyer is another who lacks a recent run but could easily have a say after a productive last season.

  1. BREATH OF JOY
  2. MOUNTAIN BRAVE
  3. PUNCHBOWL FLYER (IRE)
