Arolla^t1¹⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: T E Whelan| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 96| D

12/1

Kingman filly wo was 2-2 in maiden/novice company and made a better fist of things on second try at this level with a hood refitted when sixth of 16 at Deauville (7.5f) back in December. Headgear discarded on return to action and she rates an each-way player.

Elinor Dashwood^h²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S A Gray| T: A McGuinness| OR: 88| D

150/1

Fairly useful filly. Eleven runs since last win in 2024. 8½ lengths seventh of 8 to Vera's Secret in Cornelscourt Stakes (125/1) at Leopardstown (7.2f, good) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Return to this level can help but work to do if she's to feature in any case.

Form: 4249-77

Jabaara²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 107| CD

5/6

Useful filly who landed a brace of listed contests last year (including this race).Improved again in Group company thereafter and she comes here following a good neck second in Lingfield Group 3 (7f) 4 weeks ago. Well worthy of consideration from a handy draw in stall 2.

Form: 122-462

(3)

Queen's Reign⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: E Walker| OR: 101| D

9/1

Doubled career tally in 1m Goodwood handicap last May and placed on 3 of her next 4 starts. Improved after 6 months off when good head second in listed company at Longchamp (7f) 6 weeks ago and respected for a yard who have been in great form.

Form: 13272-2

Stop The Cavalry²⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: R M Beckett| OR: 104

4/1

Lope De Vega filly who went the right way last term, landing a Chester handicap (6f) on return and best effort yet when third in listed compant at Longchamp (1m) in September. Record when fresh stands at 2-2 and highy likely there's more to come now kicking off her 4-y-o campaign.

Form: 15/163-

(5)

Thelma's Angel⁴⁰¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty

66/1

Daughter of Dark Angel who left her debut form well behind when bagging 5-runner maiden at Ayr (6f, good) in spring of last year. May not have all been plain sailing to be absent since and whilst she's open to improvement, this demands a good deal more.

Form: 31-

(6)

Fiery Lucy²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: S H James| T: G P Cromwell| OR: 106

9/2

Useful filly who landed a Faoryhouse maiden (6f) this time last year and acquitted herself thereafter, fourth in Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf on final start. Not seen to best effect on reappearance in Grp. 3 at Leopardstown (7.2f) 4 weeks ago and likely to be much closer to form here.

Form: 92224-2

Perfect Part²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: J Fanning| T: B Ellison| OR: 94

22/1

Shock winner of the Hilary Needler at Beverley on debut last June. Largely acquitted herself well subsequently, unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 14 in handicap (25/1) at York (7f, good) 24 days ago, finishing with running left. A repeat gives her each-way claims back at listed level.

Form: 458-474

(10)

Royalty Bay²⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: A Mullen| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 94

80/1

Dual novice winner over 6f last summer. Also second in French Group 3 in July but came up short at Group level in Britain on her final 2 starts. Return to 7f promises to suit on return but she does need to find some progress if she's to land this.

Forecasts

Jabaara (5/6), Stop The Cavalry (4/1), Fiery Lucy (9/2), Queen's Reign (9/1), Arolla (12/1), Rajindri (14/1), Perfect Part (22/1), Thelma's Angel (66/1), Royalty Bay (80/1), Elinor Dashwood (150/1)

STOP THE CAVALRY improved steadily in a light 2024 campaign, signing off with a very good third in a French listed race in September. She's been absent since but her record when fresh is a definite plus ahead of this and she looks a big player with further progress distinctly possible as a 4-y-o. That said, last year's winner Jabaara has looked as good as ever this term and she's a big danger along with Irish raider Fiery Lucy. Queen's Reign is respected also for the in-form Ed Walker yard.
