Alexana²⁶⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 86

14/1

Very unexposed having run just three times and winning two, the latest a match race. Certainly faces an altogether different task here first time out but this stable too shrewd to run one with no chance.

Form: 121-

(9)

Altra Vita²⁰⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 92| D

25/1

Had a terrific three-year-old season winning six handicaps from 1m4f-2m½f in customary Prescott style. Much tougher ask now in Pattern company first time out but can't say she hasn't earned the chance.

Form: 311155-

(8)

Bayshore Freeway¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 94| D

6/1

Won three times last year and already twice this season, overcoming a career-high mark to score at Musselburgh latest over this trip. Another step forward needed but progress is all she does.

Form: 133-211

(5)

Dramatic Queen²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 99

7/1

Lingfield Listed winner last term over 1m5f was well held on return in France although 1m2f surely on the sharp side there. Back over a more acceptable trip she has the form to at least make the frame.

Form: 43411-8

Enbihaar²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: A Kirby| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 105

6/4

Lightly raced Kempton winner at three has already showed improvement this season when scoring in highly impressive fashion in a Goodwood Listed race. Could develop into a high class sort this season and highly appealing here.

Form: 314-1

(1)

Jet Streaming²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Queally| T: Samuel Farrell| OR: 88

50/1

Won twice in Ireland in 2017 but not since and as an 88-rated mare she looks out of her depth here.

Form: 59557-6

(7)

Maid Up²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 105| D

8/1

Progressive last year, graduating from handicap company to place in a Group 2 and win a Group 3 at Goodwood. Couldn't land a blow up in class in the St Leger or on return in the Jockey Club Cup but this more within range and yard in great form.

Form: 11219-7

(2)

Pilaster⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: C O'Donoghue| T: R Varian| OR: 106| BF| D

3/1

Won first three last season culminating in Group Two Lillie Langtry over this trip where she beat Maid Up in a photo. Disappointing on return it must be said but willing to forgive her that and looks a leading contender on 2018 form.

Form: 11138-3

(6)

Voi^t¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: N Mackay| T: C Allen| OR: 75

66/1

Won a couple of class 5 handicaps this season but rated just 75 and search for black type almost certain to be elusive.

Form: 515821

Forecasts

Enbihaar (6/4), Pilaster (3/1), Bayshore Freeway (6/1), Dramatic Queen (7/1), Maid Up (8/1), Alexana (14/1), Altra Vita (25/1), Jet Streaming (50/1), Voi (66/1)

A really interesting race this but there was so much to like about the unexposed filly ENBIHAAR at Goodwood latest that she is quite confidently put forward; the expectation is that she will be contesting higher grade races very soon. Pilaster is the form pick as a Group Two winner although her reappearance had to go down as a little disappointing. Maid Up was a short head behind Pilaster last season and again the pair are closely matched for two very much in-form stables.
