Corsini⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: M Meade| OR: 65

11/1

Blinkered for 1st time, last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 25/1) 44 days ago, racing freely. Down another 5 lb and worth remembering her good fourth at Salisbury over this trip in May when behind improvers.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁷⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 64

11/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 137 days (formerly trained by Simon Dow). Interesting now handicapping back on turf.

Form: 7-424

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 63| BF

9/4

9/2, creditable second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (heavy) 8 days ago. Conditions will be different now but she's on the same mark.

Form: 6-65642

Albion Princess⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 62| BF

13/8

Promising type who returned after 7 months off with encouraging fourth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 6/4) 47 days ago. Gambled on there and she has more to offer. Big player eased 1 lb.

Form: 866-4

Oriental Beauty⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 53

Form: 7987-07

Forecasts

Albion Princess (13/8), Virtuoso (9/4), Kinrarra (9/2), Rikona (11/2), Corsini (11/1), Oriental Beauty (50/1)

RIKONA likely has more to offer now handicapping and narrowly gets the vote over the equally-promising Albion Princess, who was backed as if defeat was out of the question on her return at Newmarket and should improve after that encouraging effort. Kinrarra is a bit more exposed but isn't out of it.
