War And Love¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Faye McManoman| T: B Ellison| OR: 63

16/1

Modest form. First outing since being sold cheaply out of Sir Mark Prescott's yard when ninth of 12 in 1m Redcar handicap last month. Needs to leave that behind.

Form: 325-9

Queen's Hame

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

10/11

Gleneagles filly. Closely related to unreliable 8.3f-1¾m winner Expressionless and 1¼m winner Foursome. Dam unraced. This newcomer from a top stable doesn't have an exacting standard to aim at on debut.

Form:

(5)

Alterity¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 71

6/5

This front-runner has improved with each start, going down by only a length in 8.5f Beverley maiden (good to firm) 13 days ago. Should go well.

Form: 5-33

(4)

Dayna

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jack Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles

25/1

30,000 gns Mehmas filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7.6f winner Neardown. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Form:

(3)

Speckled Brown¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson| T: Andi Brown

40/1

Beaten a long way in 1m novices 8 months apart (trained by Michael Bell on debut).

Form: 0-5

Forecasts

Queen's Hame (10/11), Alterity (6/5), War And Love (16/1), Dayna (25/1), Speckled Brown (40/1)

ALTERITY's front-running style should lend itself to this place and she's the percentage call, although strong market support for William Haggas newcomer Queen's Hame would put a slightly different slant on things in what could develop into a straight fight between the pair.
