City Queen²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Toby Moore⁽⁷⁾| T: C Appleby| OR: 82| D

5/1

Progressive filly who made a winning handicap debut at Southwell under this rider before close third at Wolverhampton last month, veering off a true line late on. Probably hasn't reached her ceiling yet given pedigree.

Form: 5-2213

Flash Of Fire²⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Ferguson| OR: 79

4/1

Beat a subsequent winner on debut at Doncaster last summer. Better form in defeat since, shaping up well up against a smart prospect in a match race at Yarmouth when last seen in October.

Form: 142-

(5)

Hatour¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 77

12/1

Promise all 3 starts and worth another go over this sort of trip having pulled too hard in a muddling affair at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 4-33

(1)

Valkyrie Storm²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77| D

11/1

Improved on juvenile form switched to handicaps this season, winning back-to-back at Nottingham. Form of most recent win has been franked so probably worth forgiving a sub-par run at Windsor.

Form: 523-115

(3)

Karvala⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 76

17/2

Left debut form well behind 8 months on when narrow winner of Thirsk novice 6 weeks ago. She's got a classy pedigree and looks sure to go on improving now handicapping over a trip she will stay.

Form: 5-1

(10)

Queen's Companion^p1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 75

8/1

Bred to be smart and showed promise all 3 outings, including when third in a warm Newmarket novice on return. Headgear goes on for this handicap debut and she remains with potential.

Form: 43-3

(12)

Distant Shore^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 75

7/2

Overcame inexperience to dead heat at Salisbury (6f) in July. Better form in defeat both starts this season, including when fifth on handicap bow at Carlisle 2 weeks ago.

Form: 1-35

(6)

Forbidden Colours⁴⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 73

8/1

750,000 gns purchase who showed ability despite clear greenness when fourth in a Newmarket maiden (7f) in September. That form largely worked out well but she failed to back that up in 2 starts this season. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 4-54

(9)

Moonlit Surf¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 73

16/1

Looks to have been brought along with handicaps in mind so expected to do better, though will probably want further than this to reach full potential.

Form: 6-65

(8)

Lady Milton³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 72| D

14/1

Progressive form, completing hat-trick at Lingfield on return before just denied at Wolverhampton last month. This tougher, though, and has to prove she's as effective on turf.

Form: 6411-12

(7)

If I Could Dream⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: George Scott| OR: 72

50/1

Yet to score after 7 attempts and ran poorly on her return at Lingfield 47 days ago.

Form: 32303-0

Forecasts

Distant Shore (7/2), Flash Of Fire (4/1), City Queen (5/1), Queen's Companion (8/1), Forbidden Colours (8/1), Karvala (17/2), Valkyrie Storm (11/1), Hatour (12/1), Guitar Solo (12/1), Lady Milton (14/1), Moonlit Surf (16/1), If I Could Dream (50/1)

CITY QUEEN was only just edged out in a 3-way photo at Wolverhampton and she can once again benefit from her rider's useful claim re-united with Toby Moore. Plenty of these fillies are going the right way so the competition looks strong, headed by well-bred pair Karvala and Queen's Companion.
