Typically kept busy last year, winning 4 times from 19 starts. However, ended the campaign out of form and has needed reappearance for the last 3 seasons.
|
Twice a winner last season but may need this and others look better treated.
|
Steadily progressive last season but failed to get her head in front, placed last 5 starts. Has since left Richard Fahey.
|
Unreliable type. Last 4 wins have come at Newcastle but well held last 3 starts on turf last season so opposable back on this surface.
|
Continues to hold her form well, winning 2 of her last 4 starts, and was a creditable third off a career-high mark at Lingfield 4 days ago. Unraced on turf since debut (well held).
|
3-time C&D winner who often gives her running, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (7.2f, soft) when last seen in October. Made a winning reappearance over C&D 2 years ago so must be respected.
|
Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut in 11-runner 7f maiden at Haydock in July. Hasn't gone on from that in the way one may have anticipated but starts the new campaign off a fair mark at least.
|
Progressive last season, winning a Thirsk novice before close third on nursery debut at Newmarket. Good second on AW debut at Southwell on return and doesn't have that much to find.
|
Stepped up on 2-y-o form when runner-up on handicap bow at Southwell, beaten only by a well-treated rival who had the benefit of race fitness. Should go on improving so very much a player under Billy Loughnane.
|
Promising sort who landed the odds with loads to spare in Newcastle maiden over this trip last month. Opening mark demands improvement racing on turf now, but that is entirely possible.
|
Exposed sort who has made a good start to the season, runner-up at Newcastle on return before going one better at Southwell (both class 6s). Likely to find this too competitive, however.
|
Won 1 of her 6 starts in 2022 and acquitted herself well in defeat in 3 AW outings this year before resuming winning ways back on turf at Redcar (10f, heavy) 2 weeks ago, pulling clear with a subsequent winner. Big shout up only 4 lb.

Forecasts
Elim (15/8), Mystic Pearl (7/2), Chealamy (11/2), Iato's Angel (13/2), Ana Gold (9/1), Vindobala (16/1), Gometra Ginty (22/1), Celtic Empress (25/1), Elladora (25/1), Wadacre Grace (28/1), Floral Splendour (33/1), Sound Of Iona (66/1)
IATO'S ANGEL showed improved form to resume winning ways back on turf at Redcar 2 weeks ago, pulling clear with a subsequent winner, and the way she travelled suggests the drop back to this trip won't be a problem. This will be tougher, but she is only 4 lb higher so is taken to follow up. The 3-y-os could well dominate with progressive-pair Chealamy and Elim heading the dangers.
