Selected odds by:

Miranda⁵⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Bryony Frost| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 146| CD

1/1

Likeable mare who showed an excellent attitude to resume winning ways in 7-runner handicap at Ludlow (15.8f) 54 days ago. Another bold showing on the cards.

Form: 1415-21

Western Victory⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: Miss E C Lavelle| OR: 142

4/1

Useful hurdler who ended her time with Declan Queally in top form and seemed to do too much too soon in the Warfield at Ascot on debut for current connections. Likely to bounce back.

Form: 121314

Anna Bunina^t²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: James Bowen| T: J C McConnell| OR: 137

16/5

Successful twice in Ireland last summer and she signed off with a couple of good efforts in valuable handicaps. Shaped as if better for run at Musselburgh on return, so merits respect.

Form: 47582-5

Dazzling Glory^h⁹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 118

18/1

Opened her account at Sedgefield in October but was below form at Bangor later in the month. Has plenty to find now upped in grade back from a break.

Form: 511-316

Miss Heritage¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: L Wadham| OR: 127| BF

10/1

Consistent and genuine mare who was far from disgraced when third at Newbury 10 days ago. Likely to be outclassed in this company, however.

Form: 2P-6543

Forecasts

Miranda (1/1), Anna Bunina (16/5), Western Victory (4/1), Miss Heritage (10/1), Dazzling Glory (18/1)

WESTERN VICTORY thrived in Ireland late last year and, while her stable debut at Ascot was a touch underwhelming, she's capable of getting back to winning ways under a slightly more conservative ride. Miranda battled on well to land a handicap off 143 at Ludlow when last seen in December, so she strikes as the biggest threat ahead of Anna Bunina.
