Palifico¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁷⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 75

7/4

Fairly useful form. Two good runner-up efforts for this yard since coming over from Ireland and every chance of going one better now.

Form: 56/39-22

(7)

Cityjet^h1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: M Meade

Twice-raced maiden. Second of 6 in novice at Wolverhampton (6f, 9/4) 17 days ago. Hood added. Ought to go well.

Form: 2-2

Fra Angelico⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne

200/1

Well held in 2 runs at Wolverhampton in recent weeks and looks more one for handicaps.

Form: 66

Ingra Tor¹³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon

11/2

11/2, ninth of 12 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good) on debut in October but the fact he was quite prominent in the betting suggests better was anticipated.

Form: 9-

(4)

Bluebird³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: J R Fanshawe

20/1

Twice-raced maiden. 13/2, still looked green when third of 6 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 39 days ago. Likely she has more to offer.

Form: 63

(8)

Brides Bay¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 74| BF

4/1

Fair maiden. 11/8, respectable third of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (6f) on reappearance 10 days ago, never nearer. Should be thereabouts again.

Form: 242-3

Ruby Ruby²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston

150/1

From a leading yard but has finished last in 2 runs over 7f here.

Form: 99

Rumailah

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey

33/1

Kitten's Joy filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Chillsea. Betting should guide to expectations for this newcomer from a good stable.

Form:

Theoretical¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, well-held fourth of 7 in novice at this course (5f) 12 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Lot more will be needed.

Form: 7-4

Forecasts

Palifico (7/4), Cityjet (7/4), Brides Bay (4/1), Ingra Tor (11/2), Bluebird (20/1), Rumailah (33/1), Theoretical (150/1), Ruby Ruby (150/1), Fra Angelico (200/1)

PALIFICO has made a positive start for the Jane Chapple-Hyam stable and may be capable of getting off the mark here. Cityjet and Brides Bay are the obvious dangers unless the betting speaks in the favour of Richard Fahey newcomer Rumailah.
