Moss Gill (4/6), Lady In France (11/4), Skeetah (5/1), Alqaab (7/1), Kodiac Dancer (14/1), Sapphire Jubilee (25/1), Lady Steps (50/1)

The only newcomer in the field Lady In France was a costly purchase as a yearling and has a pedigree that takes the eye. The yard have a good strike-rate with their newcomers in this age group here (21%) but overall their debutante numbers are quite modest (7%) and one with experience may just prove a better option this time. ALQAAB has shaped with promise on both occasions he’s been out and although handicaps may well be his forte in time he’s taken to score in this. Moss Gill is almost certainly capable of better having bumped into a decent sort last time at Wolverhampton and he rounds out the 1-2-3 here.
