Sioux Life^t¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Marco Ghiani| T: M Botti| OR: 108

40/1

Useful performer who completed a hat-trick in a Group 2 at Rome (9.9f) in October. Looked and shaped as if better for the run after 7 months off in the Middleton Stakes at York but faces no easy task attempting to concede weight all round here.

Form: 10111-7

Beautiful Love¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 113

11/2

Smart filly who won in Dubai and America (11f Group 3) in 2024. No match for an improving sort in York Group 2 on most recent outing but warrants respect back down in grade.

Form: 134-632

(8)

Bay Of Sanibel^v³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Shane Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 96

33/1

Useful mare who has run creditably both starts this year, including in a first-time visor when behind the now retired Kyprios in listed race at Navan (14f, soft) 35 days ago. Needs more at this level, though.

Form: 4746-55

Chorus²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93| D

11/1

Windsor novice winner last summer and improved further when winning her first handicap at Newmarket (12f) in October. Left the impression she needed the run when only sixth of 10 to Shaha at Goodwood on return and may yet get back on the up.

Form: 31831-6

Estrange²⁰³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 100

13/8

Fetched 425,000 gns as a yearling and made a highly promising start to her career in 2024, winning 2 of her 3 starts, including 11-runner listed event at Doncaster (10.2f) in impressive fashion in November. Looks one to follow this year, especially with 1½m sure to be within range.

Form: 171-

Invisible Friend¹⁸⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 91

22/1

Useful performer who landed 16-runner York handicap on reappearance in 2024. Placed in a brace of listed events final 2 outings but this is much tougher now returning for a new yard (has left Kevin Ryan).

Form: 5/10233-

(7)

Our Golden One^t1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Jim Crowley| T: T Ward| OR: 93

66/1

Useful filly who shaped as if better for the run when 9 lengths seventh of 10 to Shaha in listed race at Goodwood (12f, good) 29 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time and it's hard to see her reversing the form.

Form: 32835-7

(6)

Shaha²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 105| D

11/8

Resumed her progress in emphatic fashion back from 6 months off when taking winner of 10-runner listed race at Goodwood (12f, good, 7/1) 29 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Scenic, suited by the longer trip. Already smart and looks up to making her mark at this level.

Form: 214-1

Forecasts

Shaha (11/8), Estrange (13/8), Beautiful Love (11/2), Chorus (11/1), Invisible Friend (22/1), Bay Of Sanibel (33/1), Sioux Life (40/1), Our Golden One (66/1)

ESTRANGE ran out an authoritative winner of a Doncaster listed event on her final outing in November and looks an unexposed filly to keep on the right side of this year, particularly now stepping up to around 1½m, so she has to be considered the one to beat. Shaha resumed her progress in emphatic fashion on her return at Goodwood and is likely to pose a major threat with fitness assured, while Beautiful Love warrants respect back down in grade, too.
