Dual C&D winner Boujee Gold makes the shortlist after her recent turf success, while it would be no surprise if Disclosure were to bounce back from her Southwell performance. However, the vote goes to CROWN’S LADY (nap), who is off the same mark as when chasing home a subsequent winner at Beverley 13 days ago.
Dual course winner Cerulean Summer has been running consistently well in recent months and may pose the main threat.
Both newcomers represent top yards and have attractive pedigrees, so market strength should be taken into account. Naallat (second choice), Pina Sonata and TUESDAYS CHILD all showed signs of greenness on their respective debuts, but also plenty of promise.
The first two are much respected, but the vote goes to William Haggas’s filly, who gave the impression she would have learnt a good deal from her Southwell outing and she should relish the longer trip.
Triple C&D winner Wedgewood (second choice) could prove hard to catch if allowed to dominate, while Angle Land has become dangerously well handicapped. However, her stablemate, REBEL STAR, is much less exposed and is taken to follow up on her recent breakthrough Yarmouth success.
Five-time C&D winner Pysanka put up a remarkable performance to win here eight days ago but it seems unlikely this will pan out in a similar way and he has a 5lb penalty to carry.
TAPIS ROUGE showed ability in three starts at Southwell earlier in the year and is likely to improve plenty for the step up in trip on his handicap debut. Artavian looked a progressive sort in the autumn and ran well on his reappearance last spring, so he may prove the main danger.
It’s fair to say CORSICAN CAPER is most effective on soft/heavy turf. But he’s well up to winning off this mark on Tapeta, having not had things fall his way at Southwell before predictably finding 1m2f an inadequate test at Doncaster.
Sydney Seabreeze ran well enough on his recent C&D comeback, having been gelded, to be second choice.
The free-going RADIO STAR did nothing wrong on her 5f comeback at Southwell, when coming away with her main market rival, and this rating is within range on that evidence. Startling, who’s back on her last successful mark, looks the main danger.
Pessoa has four wins and three seconds to his name from ten runs over C&D so is the obvious starting point, but preference is for DRAFTED, whose two wins for Danny Brooke came over 7f on Tapeta in cheekpieces. Alabama Belle is worth a look too, having shown more on her handicap debut.
