Empire Of The Sun¹¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Theodore Ladd| T: Rae Guest

15/8

Well held in a pair of minor events in the autumn (since been gelded) and he'll need to show more to get off the mark here.

Form: 98-

Copper Bay²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: George Scott

11/4

Once-raced filly. 25/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at this C&D on debut 23 days ago, green but not knocked about. Open to progress and claims in a thin maiden.

Form: 9

13/8

Once-raced filly. 22/1, eighth of 11 in minor event at this C&D on debut 23 days ago, keeping on when not clear run late on. Likely to improve and this could be a good opening.

Pink Stripes¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Andrew Breslin⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 45

16/1

Poor filly. No better than mid-field in 8 Flat runs, most recently when seventh of 9 in nursery (20/1) at this course (5f) 109 days ago. Can make more impact in this company.

Forecasts

Kinky Boots (5/4), Invested (13/8), Empire Of The Sun (15/8), Copper Bay (11/4), Take My Breath (14/1), Pink Stripes (16/1), Ritarocks (100/1), Carranita (150/1)

An uncompetitive maiden that can go to INVESTED, who made a promising start here 3 weeks ago. Copper Bay was just in behind her on that occasion and can improve herself. Pink Stripes could also be a factor on her return.
