Naana's Shadow¹⁷¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan| T: K Scott| OR: 72| D

14/1

Progressed with each run at 2 yrs, getting off the mark at the fourth attempt in a 5-runner novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 5/2). Sold from Alice Haynes for 20,000 gns since and is a respected handicap newcomer despite 171-day absence.

Form: 7221-

Alfa Duplicate¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: I Furtado| OR: 72| CD

5/1

Got off the mark when dropped to 5f for the first time to win over C&D in February before battling well to follow up over 6f at Newcastle 3 weeks later. Up another 4 lb but should be in the mix again.

Form: 72-6711

La Belle Forest²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin| T: K R Burke| OR: 72| CD

11/8

Showed plenty of dash dropped back to 5f to win a 7-runner maiden at this C&D (85/40) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut from fair-looking mark.

Form: 53-1

Queensmaite²¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: S R Bowring| OR: 61

18/1

Good third at C&D on debut last season, though proved too headstrong for her own good in 2 subsequent outings. Left poorly placed after a slow break returned to this C&D on handicap debut last time and suspicion remains she might be capable of better returning from 7 months off.

Form: 3057-

Call Margot⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 70

13/2

No solid form in 3 starts for Diego Dias at 2 yrs (probably flattered on debut) but offered more second time up for this yard when 1½ lengths second of 7 to Alfa Duplicate in handicap at this C&D 40 days ago. Could still do with learning to settle better.

Form: 657-52

Loleeta²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: C R Lyons⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 70| D

33/1

Beat a subsequent winner when off the mark over 5f at Lingfield in August. Folded tamely on handicap debut at the same C&D on return but wasn't disgraced in form terms despite beating only one home when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 27 days ago.

Form: 4421-68

Filly Foden¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: B R Millman| OR: 69| CD

5/1

Heavily campaigned by Alice Haynes at 2 yrs but got off the mark at Southwell in January before following up at Lingfield (5f) 8 days later. Not seen to best effect when last at Wolverhampton next time but fewer excuses for latest below-par effort back at Lingfield (6f) 2 weeks ago.

Forecasts

La Belle Forest (11/8), Alfa Duplicate (5/1), Filly Foden (5/1), Star Marian (5/1), Call Margot (13/2), Artista (13/2), Naana's Shadow (14/1), Queensmaite (18/1), Loleeta (33/1)

ALFA DUPLICATE showed a fine attitude from the front to score at Newcastle and Ivan Furtado's filly tops the shortlist in her hat-trick bid. La Belle Forest coped well with the drop to 5f to win over C&D and is also respected alongside fellow handicap newcomer Naana's Shadow.
