Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 71

7/2

Maiden after five starts but placed on the last four of those including over 7f here last time out. Shapes is if this extra furlong will suit and is one for the shortlist today.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 71

7/2

Placed twice from four starts and contested a valuable handicap when making her handicap bow at Newmarket (7f, good-to-soft) last September. Worth a check in the market on seasonal debut.

Grace's Secret¹¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 71

9/2

Girls Talk¹⁶²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: W Buick| T: M L W Bell| OR: 67

16/1

Signs of improvement when finishing 3L fourth of six over 7f at Kempton on debut for this stable last timeout. Interesting if capable of backing that up in this contest.

Form: 4080-4

Kachumba⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: Rae Guest| OR: 64

12/1

Forecasts

Last Enchantment (7/2), Sweet Symphony (7/2), Girls Talk (7/2), Grace's Secret (9/2), Felisa (7/1), Kachumba (12/1), Controversial Lady (14/1), Poetic Steps (14/1), Supersymmetry (16/1), Indiscretion (20/1)

SWEET SYMPHONY has been running well in defeat this winter and she can break her maiden at the sixth time of asking by taking this novice stakes. Marco Botti's charge was placed off this mark last time and she can see off Supersymmetry who recorded a decent effort when making her debut for this stable last time out. Controversial Lady was twice a winner as a two-year-old and this looks a weaker contest than the events she contested in France in the autumn.
