6/1
Course winner. 14/1, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 39 days ago. Unlikely to be far away but remains 4 lb above last winning mark and may again find one or two too good.

6/1
Career best when winning 13-runner handicap at this C&D (7/1) 20 days ago by ½ length from Doublethetrouble, kept up to work. 3 lb rise fair enough and it would be no surprise to see her give another good account.

9/1
10/3, creditable ½-length second of 13 to Grand Duchess Olga in handicap at this C&D 20 days ago. Now 2 lb better off with that rival and there should be little between them once again.

16/1
C&D winner. Bit below form seventh of 15 in handicap hurdle (4/1) at Perth (20.2f, good to soft) 62 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Didn't show much on reappearance in this sphere at Ayr in April.

Forecasts

Surrey Belle (11/4), Solid Silver (5/1), Grand Duchess Olga (6/1), Myriad (6/1), Wannabe Brave (6/1), Pons Aelius (9/1), Doublethetrouble (9/1), I Doubt That (16/1), Highland Frolic (20/1), Smith (50/1), Imphal (150/1)

Verdict

It's been over a year since PONS AELIUS last got his head in front but he has slipped to a good mark and the form of his latest effort in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle gives him very strong claims indeed. That said, this is a competitive race for the grade and Surrey Belle is next on a shortlist, which also includes recent C&D 1-2 Grand Duchess Olga and Doublethetrouble. Wannabe Brave is also accorded respect.

  1. Pons Aelius9/1
  2. Surrey Belle11/4
  3. Grand Duchess Olga6/1
