Caim²¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: E Bethell| OR: 91

11/4

Created a good impression when making a winning debut at Beverley (7.4f) in September and built on that when runner up in 7f listed event at Newbury a month later. Commands serious respect under a penalty with step up in trip sure to suit on return.

Form: 12-

Crownright²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Colin Keane| T: R M Beckett

4/5

Frankel filly who shaped well both starts, including when second in Ascot novice on return despite failing to settle (hood left off now). Can do better again.

Form: 3-2

(6)

Harlequin Breeze¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 84

7/2

Progressed at 2 yrs (close second in 7f Newmarket novice in November). Stiff task in Nell Gwyn on return but back on track when fourth off a stiff opening mark at Haydock 17 days ago. Others arguably have more potential but she should be bang there on these terms.

Form: 952-04

Molo Del Palazzo¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett

16/1

Some promise when fifth in maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) on debut in September but below that form at Lingfield on return 2 weeks ago.

Form: 5-6

Crownright (4/5), El Vamos (9/4), Caim (11/4), Harlequin Breeze (7/2), Seet (4/1), Molo Del Palazzo (16/1)

This looks a strong race of its type for 3-y-o fillies and HARLEQUIN BREEZE could be the answer back in a novice with 3 of her rivals penalised. Crownright isn't one of them so may emerge as the main threat having shown loads to work on at Ascot.
