Gometra Ginty^p¹⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 73| CD

4/1

Made all in this race 12 months ago and went in twice thereafter from higher marks at Musselburgh (at up to 1m). Steadily finding her form this campaign, fifth of 11 in handicap back at Musselburgh (7f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on but no easy task again a host of 3-y-os.

Form: 16-0065

Qipao³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80| D

9/2

Won first 2 starts as a 2-y-o but consistent rather than progressive since. However, best not judged too harshly on last month's fourth of 5 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f) having been intimidated by winner. Eased 3 lb on the back of that.

Form: 1456-64

Nurseclaire^h,t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 78| CD

9/1

C&D maiden winner as a juvenile for Richard Fahey last summer who was set some stiff tasks thereafter. Below form for new yard final start and whilst she returned to form when fourth at Catterick 3 weeks ago, she didn't wholly convince then.

Form: 69278-4

Kodias Sangarius⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 78

6/1

Landed back-to-back AW events over 6f over the winter and she arrives here having run best race to date when runner-up at Windsor (6f) 9 days ago, beaten only by one firmly on the up. Well worth considering tackling this slightly longer trip.

Form: 21-1562

Celestial Star¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Hart| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 75

11/2

Ribchester filly who improved with each out start in novice/maiden company, runner-up on qualifying run over 1m at Musselburgh. Creditable third of 5 on handicap debut (7f) back there since and she ought to give another good account.

Form: 8-423

Ana Gold²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73

4/1

Beverley novice winner (5f) last summer who ended campaign with a good third on nursery debut at Newmarket (7f) in September. Not yet built on that in 2 starts this term, latterly when eighth of 10 at Haydock (1m) 25 days ago. May need further respite from the assessor.

Form: 4143-38

Bungley⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64

5/1

Successful from 2 lb lower mark at Musselburgh (1m) in August during a very busy 2-y-o campaign. Improved model this term, again finding only another improver too strong over C&D last time. Should continue in form.

Form: 1846-22

KODIAS SANGARIUS ran her best race to date when runner-up behind one on a steep upward curve at Windsor (6f) 9 days ago, staying on to go down by a head. She gets the nod to confirm the promise of that run operating from the same mark/tackling this slightly longer trip. Bungley and Qipao are others fancied to play a part.
