Lavender Bloom¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Egan| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 60

16/5

Showcasing filly who hasn't shown a great deal in her qualifying runs. May well show more now tackling a handicap.

Form: 668

(2)

Geemann²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Taylor Fisher| T: J Tickle| OR: 57

12/1

Standout effort came when sixth in a maiden on soft ground here last September. Offered little on return over C&D (good to firm) last month and handicapper drops him another 3 lb.

Form: 9860-0

(3)

Reality Queen¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 57| CD

7/4

Regressed for Jonathan Portman stable since winning on nursery debut over C&D last September. Shaped as if needing the run on return/yard debut when fifth of 9 at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago and is one to keep an eye on, especially should market support arrive.

Form: 145-775

(5)

Rosieisme Darling¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: Hayley Burton| OR: 55

9/4

A dual winner on the all-weather, including at Lingfield in February and has proved as effective on turf with good efforts on her last 3 starts, latterly when fourth of 10 at Windsor (5f, good to firm) 16 days ago. In the mix again.

Form: 364324

(4)

Rogue Rebellion²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Harris| OR: 50

8/1

Went close over C&D on second start for current yard but well beaten on both subsequent outings. Bit to prove all of a sudden.

Form: 126299

Forecasts

Reality Queen (7/4), Rosieisme Darling (9/4), Lavender Bloom (16/5), Rogue Rebellion (8/1), Geemann (12/1)

REALITY QUEEN regressed for Jonathan Portman after making a winning nursery debut over C&D last September but, having joined a yard adept with revitalising similar types, Mick Appleby's filly gets the nod with her reappearance under her belt. Rosieisme Darling is going through a good spell so heads up the dangers, with Lavender Bloom expected to show more now pitched into a handicap.
