15/8

Winner at Kempton in December. Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap (5/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good) 21 days ago, finding less than looked likely. Back up in trip. Hood on 1st time. Not out of things.

Form: 5241-55

Reyaadah Star²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: James Doyle| T: C Johnston| OR: 72

10/3

Off the mark at the fourth attempt when taking 6-runner maiden at Kempton (11f, 1/4) 20 days ago, plenty in hand. Switches to turf on handicap debut and remains with potential.

Form: U421

(3)

Carpathian^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J Ferguson| OR: 69

7/1

Promising type who upped her game when third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 13 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Likely more to come yet and looks worth a crack at this longer trip.

Form: 965-3

(6)

Lady Bancroft^b1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: R M Beckett| OR: 64

28/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to soft, 16/1) 22 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. May do better now sent handicapping.

Forecasts

Elladonna (15/8), Reyaadah Star (10/3), Xiomara (6/1), Invisible Friend (13/2), Carpathian (7/1), Ardbraccan (15/2), Raimunda (11/1), Toxic (16/1), Gentle Whinny (16/1), Lady Bancroft (28/1)

It's likely we haven't seen the best of CARPATHIAN, who found improvement when third on handicap debut at Kempton earlier this month. She can get off the mark. Reyaadah Star and Elladonna are feared most.
