16/1

Consistent mare who ran well on first 3 runs in 2021 in listed/Group 3. Hasn't threatened of late, her mark a probable stumbling block when midfield in the Ebor at York last month. This more suitable.

Kingman filly who continued theme of race-by-race progress when successful in a 12f Newmarket novice in July, hanging badly left but still forging clear. Highly likely there's more to come.

Landed 3-runner fillies' handicap at Newmarket (12f) last summer. Record has been mixed this term, weakening over 1f out having made a swift move at halfway at Sandown (14f) latest. Others preferred.

2/1

Progressive filly who doubled career tally at Redcar (10f) early last month and again ran well without being seen to best effect when second at York (10.2f) subsequently. Likely player back up in trip

5/1

Kingman filly who continues to progress, making it fifth time lucky when getting on top inside final 1f at Ripon (9.7f) in August. Expected to be suited by 1½m and possibilities from 6 lb higher mark.

Form: 643-21

Basilicata⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: David Egan| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 78| D

25/1

Dual winner at 2 and having been kept busy this term, she regained winning thread over 11.6f at Bath 9 days ago, albeit well positioned in comparison to the runner-up. More needed under a penalty.

Forecasts

Thousand Oaks (7/4), Sea La Rosa (2/1), Ms Gandhi (5/1), Viola (11/2), Makawee (16/1), Basilicata (25/1), Kepala (50/1)

This can go to one of the 3-y-os, chief amongst them SEA LA ROSA. She again shaped well despite not being suited by the way the race developed when runner-up at York (10.2f) in August, and with the return to this longer trip a plus, she's expected to play a lead role once more. Thousand Oaks beat a next-time-out winner at Newmarket in July and is feared most, ahead of Ms Gandhi.
