Useful mare who posted career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, firm) 42 days ago. Bit more needed stepping up in grade now, though.

(3)

Huboor^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 96| D

(7)

Last Surprise²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Megan Nicholls| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 93

(5)

Pretty In Grey⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: J Fanning| T: M Botti| OR: 92| D

12/1

Useful filly. Reappearance best forgiven when ninth of 10 in listed race at Kempton (8f, 15/2) 61 days ago, having hopeless task from position. No forlorn hope.

Form: 11153-9

(6)

Red Poppy^v²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: C Fellowes| OR: 78

20/1

Fairly useful filly. 20/1 and visored for 1st time, respectable sixth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, good) 22 days ago. Has plenty on in this grade, though.

Form: 3-44766

(11)

Ventura Diamond¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 100

11/1

Useful filly who arrives on back of clear second of 6 to Twilight Spinner in listed race at Haydock (6f, heavy) 15 days ago. In the mix once more.

Form: 611-832

(8)

Zaffy's Pride¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: T P Madden| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 101| D

11/4

Useful 6f/7f winner. 28/1, raced too freely stepped up to 1m when last of 14 in Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh 13 days ago. Sets a good standard back in this company.

Form: 112-420

(9)

Chocoya^t²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Cieren Fallon| T: H Palmer| OR: 96

9/1

Useful filly. Run of good form ended when only fifth of 11 in listed race at Nottingham on heavy ground 28 days ago. Enters calculations under these less testing conditions.

Form: 13-2425

(2)

Just Beautiful³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Joey Haynes| T: I Furtado| OR: 90| D

8/1

Made it 3-3 with victory in 7f minor event (6/4) at Chelmsford City 38 days ago, digging deep. She takes a big step up in class now but is a likeable sort who shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 11-1

Forecasts

Zaffy's Pride (11/4), Breath Of Joy (11/2), Gale Force Maya (11/2), Just Beautiful (8/1), Jouska (9/1), Chocoya (9/1), Ventura Diamond (11/1), Pretty In Grey (12/1), Huboor (20/1), Red Poppy (20/1), Last Surprise (33/1)

ZAFFY'S PRIDE found the step up to 1m and Group One company beyond her in the Irish 1000 Guineas but is a consistent sort and can bounce back in this less exacting grade. In-form Ventura Diamond heads the list of dangers, with Chocoya not ruled out either having failed to handle the mud last time and unbeaten Just Beautiful a lively outsider too.
