5/2

Improved form when opening her account in 10-runner handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good) 18 days ago. Up 4 lb but she had more in the tank there so she has to be taken seriously.

12/1

Fair ex-Irish maiden who shaped encouragingly on yard debut/first run for 8 months when fourth in 7f Carlisle handicap 18 days ago. One to consider with that run under her belt.

14/1

Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 12/1, only ninth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 36 days ago, so easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 394009

(6)

Politicism⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Gianluca Sanna⁽⁷⁾| T: B Smart| OR: 63

20/1

(11)

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 55

Forecasts

Emily Post (5/2), Alethiometer (11/4), Miss Bella Brand (11/2), Nikki's Girl (9/1), Caleta Sunrise (12/1), Gypsy Whisper (14/1), Sienna Breeze (16/1), Politicism (20/1), Faithful Spirit (20/1), Keeping Hoping (20/1), Vivency (22/1), Red How (50/1)

EMILY POST gained her breakthrough win in taking style at Carlisle so is fancied to defy a 4 lb rise in the weights. Both Alethiometer and Caleta Sunrise came home in the frame behind Ed Bethell's improving filly that day and can chase her home once more in that order.
