Bashkirova³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 104

2/1

Came a long way in a short space of time at 3 yrs, winning her first 3 starts, and made a pleasing return behind Mrs Fitzherbert at Goodwood, worn down only late on. More to come up in grade.

Form: 1117-2

Miss Marble³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 97

12/1

Back to winning ways with an improved effort in Nottingham handicap 7 weeks ago, seen to good effect in front under this rider. This is much tougher.

Form: 2/116-01

Mrs Fitzherbert³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: George Rooke| T: H Morrison| OR: 105| D

10/3

Picked up where she left off in 2021 with victory in Goodwood listed race on return 5 weeks ago under this rider, overhauling Bashkirova close home. Hasn't reached her limit and lots to like up in class.

Form: 44114-1

Potapova⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 100

11/2

Dual winner who returned with a good effort behind Roman Mist at Kempton, taking a while to pick up before running on late and just failing. Type to do better still.

Form: 1/1940-2

Roman Mist⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: R Kingscote| T: T Ward| OR: 101| D

12/1

Made the breakthrough at listed level when scoring at Kempton on Easter Monday under this rider, all out from Potapova. This is tougher up in class but she's worth a crack at it.

Form: 1442-21

Statement²⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 93

22/1

Newbury maiden winner at 2 yrs who found things a struggle last term after her reappearance second in the Fred Darling, held in third in this when well backed. New connections went to 300,000 gns for her in November. Work to do.

Technique³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Rob Hornby| T: M Meade| OR: 105

9/1

Yet to add to her debut win but plenty of good efforts up in grade all the while, including when just failing in listed Nottingham contest on return. Perhaps didn't handle this track in last year's Oaks but can't be discounted down in trip after that reappearance run.

Form: 72420-2

Flash Betty²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M R Channon| OR: 94

40/1

Won 3 times at 2 yrs, including a claimer, but up against it at this sort of level.

Form: 152-504

Majestic Glory^h1⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 101

8/1

Won the Sweet Solera at Newmarket last summer and returned with a pleasing run in the Fred Darling at Newbury. Step back up in trip will suit and she's the clear pick of the 3-y-os. Hood goes on.

Form: 21169-3

(5)

Rolling The Dice^p1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Marco Ghiani| T: H Kobeissi| OR: 97

125/1

Won 7f Newbury maiden last summer and good third in the May Hill next time. Slowly away and always behind in listed York race on return 3 weeks ago (tried tongue tied) and plenty on her plate with cheekpieces on now.

Form: 4713-0

Forecasts

Bashkirova (2/1), Mrs Fitzherbert (10/3), Potapova (11/2), Majestic Glory (8/1), Technique (9/1), Roman Mist (12/1), Miss Marble (12/1), Statement (22/1), Flash Betty (40/1), Rolling The Dice (125/1)

MRS FITZHERBERT can go on improving up in grade after her pleasing comeback win at Goodwood and makes plenty of appeal. Bashkirova was nailed late on by Hughie Morrison's filly there and has more in the locker herself. Potapova just failed behind Roman Mist at Kempton and should do better also.
