Polyphony¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: James Doyle| T: J Mackie| OR: 76

15/2

Ended 2020 with 9.5f win at Wolverhampton in December but has looked in the grip of the handicapper so far this term.

Form: 381-377

Sudona²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 74

17/2

Did enough to suggest she's still in form when seventh of 8 at York last time, making her move from a less-than-ideal position. Warrants respect back down in grade.

Form: 20-5327

Lady Pendragon⁵²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: Martin Smith| OR: 74

4/1

Improved to win twice over 1¼m on AW at Lingfield at the end of 2020. Creditable third of 7 on 11.5f Windsor return 52 days ago. Can't be discounted now fully tuned up.

Form: 34611-3

Flower Of Scotland⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: P J McDonald| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 73| BF

10/3

Fair form last year, and took a step forward when runner-up at Wolverhampton a couple of months ago, looking more straightforward. Claims if they go a strong pace.

Form: 54425-2

Steel An Icon⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: George Bass⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 70| D

3/1

Bumper winner on debut in December and has made good strides in this sphere since switched to handicaps, completing the 4-timer at Nottingham (1¾m, good) a week ago. Obvious claims off same mark.

Form: 421111

Betty Grable⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 8-11| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: W Storey| OR: 64

14/1

Deservedly regained the winning thread when accounting for 4 rivals at Carlisle (11.2f, good) recently but underperformed at Doncaster 5 days ago. Others preferred in this grade of handicap.

Lucky Draw³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 58| BF| D

6/1

Winner at Lingfield in May from Steel An Icon. 4/5, respectable second of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, soft) 35 days ago, ridden too aggressively. Remains feasibly treated and she's a big player.

Form: 770-212

Forecasts

Steel An Icon (3/1), Flower Of Scotland (10/3), Lady Pendragon (4/1), Lucky Draw (6/1), Polyphony (15/2), Sudona (17/2), Betty Grable (14/1)

LUCKY DRAW was far too good for Steel An Icon at Lingfield in May and had excuses when collared late at Carlisle the following week. She can confirm those placings here and thwart her old rival's bid for a 5-timer. If the aforementioned pair get into a pace duel, Flower of Scotland is the likeliest to capitalise.
