Alfa Queen³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: I Jardine

25/1

Runner-up at 80/1 over C&D last time out and there are races to be won with this daighter of Intikhab. Faces some potentially decent rivals thouhh and might find this a tough task.

Form: 42

Cagliari^h1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Powell| T: S & E Crisford

33/1

Bahamian Bounty filly whose dam stayed well and won three times over 14f. May need more of a trip in due course and likely to improve for the outing.

Great Court¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 75

4/1

Relatively cheaply bought daughter of Mastercraftsman placed twice in four starts last year for Luca Cumani. Kept on for pressure when third on belated seasonal return for new yard at Sandown recently and should be there or thereabouts this time.

Form: 353-53

Pretty Passe³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: M Harley| T: W J Haggas| BF

7/2

Half-sister to eight individual winner and nealy scored on debut at Doncaster in June, failing by just half a length. A disappointing favourite when only fourth of six last time at Yarmouth 12 days later, but definitely worth another chance.

Form: 24

Sea Tide^p1,t¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: H Palmer| OR: 81| BF

4/6

Nicely bred daughter of Champs Elysses has run well on all starts to date without getting her head in front. Beaten just a nose on only A/W run to date so has to be a major contender for honours. First-time cheekpieces today.

Form: 32-23

Forecasts

Sea Tide (4/6), Royal Loyalty (9/4), Pretty Passe (7/2), Great Court (4/1), Alfa Queen (25/1), Cagliari (33/1)

SEA TIDE failed by the narrowest of margins to win on her only run so far on an artificial surface and is taken to get off the mark here at the fifth time of asking. It won't be a cakewalk though with both Great Court and Pretty Passe having solid claims, while debutante Cagliari is worth noting for any market confidence.
