Shimmering Dawn¹²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tate| OR: 73

13/8

Swapped hands for 78,000 gns as a 2yo and shown some promise in three previous starts but needs to up her game now she tries handicapping for the first time.

Form: 545-

(6)

Diva D⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 70

8/1

Won a nursery over 7f at Wolverhampton last September but held off this sort of mark since. Has experience of this course and not expected to be inconvenienced by the drop back in trip. Yard in form so needs to be considered.

Form: 40173-4

(2)

Sundiata⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: C Hills| OR: 69| D

11/8

Possibly not the most straightforward character but appreciated the drop to 6f by going close on her penultimate start; backed that up with a cosy win at Lingfield 9 days ago. 6lb higher this time but could be progressive enough to cope.

Form: 5-421

(7)

Antonia Clara^t1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: S De Sousa| T: S C Williams| OR: 65

6/1

Placed in seven of her 13 previous starts and weighted to reverse the Wolverhampton form with Klass Action from last December. Didn't quite see out the trip over 7f latest but likely to be thereabouts if at her best now back over a furlong shorter.

Form: 32-6227

(5)

Valley Belle^v¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: P S McEntee| OR: 56| CD

25/1

C&D winner last November and has also been placed here three times, so nothing to fear over the surface. Still 8lb above that winning mark though. Needs a lot to go her way.

Form: 553338

(4)

Equiano Perle^t¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 51

66/1

Well beaten in all starts so far and not hard to overlook from 3lb out of the weights.

Form: 860-9

Non-Runners

Klass Action¹⁷

Weight: 9-10| Age: 3

T: Sir Mark Prescott J: L Morris

Forecasts

Sundiata (11/8), Shimmering Dawn (13/8), Klass Action (11/4), Antonia Clara (6/1), Diva D (8/1), Valley Belle (25/1), Equiano Perle (66/1)

The penny seems to have dropped for SUNDIATA, who won with a bit in hand just over a week ago and a 6lb higher mark may not be enough to stop her at this stage. Diva D and Antonia Clara are both consistent enough to merit serious consideration as viable alternatives, while Klass Action has also held her form well and would also be dangerous to dismiss under top weight. A market move for the latter could be persuasive.
