Elizabeth Bennet²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: James Doyle| T: C Hills| OR: 83| D

6/4

Comfortable winner of a minor race at Lingfield and highly tried since. Should be better suited by this quicker surface and the form of her victory makes her a big player off this mark.

Form: 3159

George¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: P J Dobbs| T: S Kirk| OR: 80

17/5

Fairly expensive purchase who promised better to come when third on his Newbury debut on soft ground. Not as good since in two more decent maidens and current mark asks serious questions.

Form: 359

(4)

Ragstone View¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 76

8/1

Made heavy weather of scoring when hot favourite at Lingfield but ought to be better back over 6f on better ground. Handicap mark looks right based on his previous effort at Chepstow.

Form: 5431

Cameo Star¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: Sammy Jo Bell⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75

14/1

Winner of a minor race at Beverley before finishing in the rear on softer ground next time. Beverley form gives him a fair bit to find although the extra furlong will make a difference.

Form: 719

(5)

Shaheen^t²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 74| D

10/3

Did not quite see out 7f at Leicester and the form of his Redcar victory makes him no more than fairly treated. There is a likelihood of more to come and that makes him a threat.

Form: 8313

(3)

Silca Mistress¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 71| D

9/1

If ignoring her efforts on a soft surface she has run to a consistent level. Has obvious claims on her Doncaster second off this mark and in receipt of weight all round.

Form: 451029

Forecasts

Elizabeth Bennet (6/4), Shaheen (10/3), George (17/5), Ragstone View (8/1), Silca Mistress (9/1), Cameo Star (14/1)

Shaheen travels south for this and will be more at home back over 6f, whilst Silca Mistress will appreciate the faster surface. Ragstone View cannot be deemed leniently treated but ELIZABETH BENNET may be better than this grade. She made short work of some modest rivals at Lingfield and scrutiny of that form, given her ease of victory, suggests she may have a few pounds in hand of her rivals. Defeats in Listed company since have both come on slower ground and it is no surprise to see her venture here in a bid to get her career back on track.
