5/2

Fairly useful gelding. Off 6 months and first run since leaving F. Head when eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) on UK debut 49 days ago. Tongue strap on. Entitled to come on for that.

4/1

Modest mare. 6/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 73 days ago, not ideally placed.

Kaahira

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rossa Ryan| T: D Loughnane

2/1

Kingman filly. Closely related to 11f winner Moohareeba and half-sister to 1m-1½m winner Mootasadir and winner up to 1¼m Dubai Warrior, both very smart. Nice pedigree so one to note in betting.

Forecasts

Kaahira (2/1), She Got The Look (2/1), Cerulean (5/2), Eltham Palace (4/1), Opticality (11/2), Typewritten (13/2), Induro De Fontaine (80/1)

SHE GOT THE LOOK left her debut well behind when third at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago and this could be a good opportunity for her. Cerulean shaped as if needing the run on his British debut here and sets the standard on his French form, while the well-bred Kaahira is one to note on her belated debut.
