14/1
Three-time winner last term and, while progress has stalled somewhat, she's likely to strip fitter for her reappearance at Kempton, so she's certainly not one to write off.

9/1
Low-mileage filly who justified support with more in hand than the bare margin suggests at Goodwood last time, quickening up well and comfortably on top at the line. Should go well again.

Front-runner who made it 2 from 3 this term with a convincing success on handicap debut at Goodwood 15 days ago. Up 5 lb but may well improve further.

6/5
Dubawi filly who is improving in chunks and was well on top at the finish when opening her account on the Rowley course 42 days ago. Capable of defying a rise for that.

7/2
Low-mileage filly who opened her account at the third attempt in maiden at Salisbury 18 days ago. Pedigree points to further progress, so needs considering for all her opening mark looks stiff enough.

100/1
Improved with each run for Mark Johnston, although his latest second in a small-field novice at Wolverhampton isn't the most solid piece of form. Starts out for new yard after 175 days off.

Forecasts

Sayyida (6/5), Quenelle D'or (3/1), Franklet (7/2), Something Enticing (15/2), End Result (8/1), By Starlight (9/1), Almareekh (14/1), Lady Pendragon (14/1), Carnival Craft (100/1)

Verdict

SAYYIDA's convincing novice success on the Rowley course is looking like solid form and, with more to come, a mark of 85 might not be enough to stop her following up despite the presence of several other promising sorts in opposition. Quenelle d'Or and By Starlight also scored with something to spare last time, so they can be regarded as the chief threats.

  1. SAYYIDA
  2. QUENELLE D'OR
  3. BY STARLIGHT (IRE)
