Modest mare. Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 18/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 19 days ago. Should come on for that run.

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 22/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago, not looking keen. Chance if rediscovering old form but he's not firing at moment.

Modest filly. Didn't need to be at best when winning 6-runner handicap at Les Landes (10f, firm, 5/4) 38 days ago. Very much one to consider.

Forecasts

El Royale (5/2), Daisy Roots (3/1), She's A Mirage (7/2), Satellite Call (9/2), Closeness (9/1), El Maga (11/1), Merlins Muse (33/1), Heerathetrack (50/1), Private Bryan (66/1), Hiya Hiya (125/1), Wood Farm Wag (150/1)

Verdict

In an incredibly thin race EL ROYALE gets a very tentative vote having run respectably at Nottingham last time. She's A Mirage is a danger back in Britain and Daisy Roots can't be ruled out.

  1. El Royale5/2
  2. She's A Mirage7/2
  3. Daisy Roots3/1
