Al Husn¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 103| D

5/6

Smart filly who won all 3 starts last season, including a red-hot valuable Newmarket fillies/mares handicap over this trip in October. Fine return in the Group 2 Dahlia there recently, taking second late on. Plenty going for her back down in grade.

Form: 41/111-2

Angels Wrath²¹

12/1

Fairly useful filly yet to add to her debut Dundalk success but ran well at the longest trip she has tackled to date when second in 9.5f Gowran listed race 3 weeks ago. Lots more on her plate here.

Form: 7/7-4202

Crystal Caprice²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 101

4/1

Quickly developed into a useful filly last term, completing the hat-trick in a handicap at Ascot (1m) prior to finishing third in a Newmarket listed race. Easy to back and should have come on for her Nottingham return in the mud after 6 months off and should stay this trip. Could do better.

Form: 11130-5

Jewel In My Crown¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 95| D

22/1

Hit the target in 3 handicaps at up to 11f last season and resumed with a fine effort in a competitive event at Kempton. Well beaten in the Jockey Club 3 weeks ago but this is a bit more realistic.

Form: 6110-35

Madame Ambassador^p²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 82

40/1

Fairly useful filly who won 2 Newmarket handicaps over further last season. Not disgraced on return at Epsom but plenty to find on these terms back down in trip.

Form: 61314-6

(5)

Makinmedoit^t¹²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 100| D

6/1

Won 3 times over this trip last year and ran well behind a promising filly at Lingfield when last seen in January. Just as good on turf and capable of making her presence felt back at this level.

Form: 51512-3

(4)

Pink Carnation^b²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 102

10/1

Won Nottingham maiden and 9f Hamilton handicap (impressive) last season and ran really well under an enterprising ride on her return at Nottingham (Crystal Caprice in behind), drawing several lengths clear halfway and headed only late on. This is tougher.

Form: 10197-2

Al Husn (5/6), Crystal Caprice (4/1), Makinmedoit (6/1), Pink Carnation (10/1), Angels Wrath (12/1), Jewel In My Crown (22/1), Madame Ambassador (40/1)

Roger Varian can win this again with progressive filly AL HUSN. She won a red-hot Newmarket handicap on her final start last term and resumed with a cracking effort in a Group 2 there. Back down in grade here she has obvious claims. Makinmedoit has a race like this in her and is feared most ahead of Sir Michael Stoute's Crystal Caprice.
