10/3
Useful mare. Three wins from 7 runs last year. 7/4, career best when winning 6-runner Cape Verdi at this course (8f, good) 35 days ago by neck from Quid Pro Quo. Carries a Group 2 penalty for that success but is thriving at present.

7/1
Smart mare. Three wins from 6 runs last year, latest in listed race at Newmarket. Respectable ½-length third of 6 to Dubai Beach in Cape Verdi at this course (8f, good, 5/2) 35 days ago. Sets the standard on form and should be bang there.

4/1
Useful mare. 11/4, career best when winning 13-runner listed race at Lingfield (13f, AW) by 1¼ lengths from Understudy. Off 92 days. May find things happening a bit too quickly significantly down in trip.

10/11
Well-bred filly. 5/1, impressive when winning 9-runner novice at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) on debut, drawing clear from 2f out. Off 137 days. Upped in grade but that race has worked out remarkably well and is an exciting prospect.

50/1
Useful filly. Winner of listed race at La Teste in August. 50/1, well-beaten sixth of 7 to Fort George in Dubai Millennium Stakes at this course (9.9f, good) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Blue Nazare (10/11), Dubai Beach (10/3), Fairy Glen (4/1), Dubai Treasure (7/1), Riyabovka (40/1), Capitana Bling (40/1), Miss Of Change (50/1)

Verdict

BLUE NAZARE ticks plenty of boxes and can take this hike in grade in her stride to maintain the unbeaten start to her career. The Saeed bin Suroor-trained pair, Dubai Beach and Dubai Treasure can fight it out for the places.
