Orliko^b,t1⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 60

10/1

Won well at Brighton eight days ago and feasible the 6lb higher mark won't stop the gelding from making further progress. Wears a tongue tie for the first time and has to be taken as a positive that he's got previous C&D experience. Live contender.

Form: 086-61

(14)

Eye Of The Water¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 60

7/1

Yard won this race last season and sends out a similar type here; stepped things up a couple of notches lately and his consistency gives him strong place claims again.

Form: 132924

(12)

Pegasus Bridge^b1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 60

14/1

Well held in all five previous starts and needs dramatic improvement in the first-time blinkers.

Form: 9475-9

(16)

Dark Glory^b1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: B J Meehan| OR: 60

12/1

Mixed form so far and blinkers replace the visor he was tried in when finishing down the field on the Fibresand at Southwell last month; comes here with a bit to prove.

Form: 93-8038

(18)

Sonnetina²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: T P Queally| T: D J Coakley| OR: 59| D

6/1

Won with bit in hand at Brighton last month but now has 6lb more to deal with; previous form had been modest, so needs to prove that wasn't a one-off display. Still has scope for improvement on turf though.

Form: 0378-71

So Claire¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 59

17/2

First couple of starts were nothing out of the ordinary but the Kyllachy filly did fare better (at odds of 50/1) against of couple of progressive types at Lingfield last month; the betting market is unlikely to be so generous about her chance today.

Form: 97-3

(9)

Shug^v1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: G Mosse| T: E Walker| OR: 57

10/1

Tried in a visor for the first time but improvement is required if she's going to reverse the Brighton form with Sonnetina and Dark Poet this time.

Form: 524608

(4)

Midoura²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L P Keniry| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 57

25/1

Three starts have yet to produce the killer instinct and there's a good deal of improvement now required. (Handicap debutante.)

Form: 93-8

(17)

Maisie Moo²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: S L Keightley| OR: 56

20/1

0-7 so far and best efforts have been posted on the AW; others make more appeal on the balance of recent form.

Form: 032960

(6)

Powerage²⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: F Sweeney| T: M S Saunders| OR: 56

33/1

0-5 for her former yard and plenty to prove after an absence since October and having switched yards in the intervening period since last seen in action.

Form: 95577-

(7)

Dark Poet^v1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C G Cox| OR: 55| BF

7/1

Finished just under 3l behind Sonnetina at Brighton last month but is better off at the weights this time. Still needs to be sharpened up by the first-time visor.

Form: 00-953

(15)

Glamorous Crescent¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: J Quinn| T: G Harris| OR: 54

6/1

Finished well ahead of Dark Glory, Miss Cargar and Pegasus Bridge at Chepstow last time and no real reason why that form should be reversed. Unexposed at the trip and might be more to come. Shortlisted.

Form: 6565-32

(11)

Jailbreak²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hughes| OR: 50

8/1

0-5 sor far and plenty to prove now the blinkers are dispensed with after two moderate efforts; best effort came over this trip but still has a bit to find.

Form: 58-057

(5)

Swiss Miss³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: J F Egan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 47

40/1

The filly's last two starting prices have been 100/1 and she's ran accordingly; nothing to merit supporting her this time judging by those efforts.

Form: 87-89

Forecasts

Sonnetina (6/1), Glamorous Crescent (6/1), Eye Of The Water (7/1), Dark Poet (7/1), Jailbreak (8/1), So Claire (17/2), Orliko (10/1), Shug (10/1), Dark Glory (12/1), Halle's Harbour (12/1), My Law (12/1), Pegasus Bridge (14/1), Maisie Moo (20/1), Miss Gargar (20/1), Midoura (25/1), Powerage (33/1), Swiss Miss (40/1), Tattenhams (50/1)

GLAMOROUS CRESCENT is unexposed at this trip and will be a potent danger to all if she can improve upon her latest outing, when she finished a close second at Chepstow; and had a few of these in behind in the process. Sonnetina is an obvious danger after her eye-catching win at Brighton last time out; although a 6lb higher mark doesn't make it easy for the mount of Tom Quealy this time. Orliko has a similar profile and is also worth considering while his confidence is on a high. So Claire and Eye Of The Water complete the shortlist.
