Promising sort. 2/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 53 days ago, late headway after slowly away. Makes turf debut. Should have more to offer.

Form: 5363

Katar^v²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: S H James| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 66

(15)

Juryman²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: W Jarvis| OR: 65

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, looked rusty but ultimately shaped well after 4 months off when fifth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Not taken lightly back in handicap company.

Form: 0453-5

(10)

Vasilissa¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 64| D

4/1

18/1, resumed progress back on polytrack after 10 weeks off when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 16 days ago, leading well inside final 1f. Expected to be bang there from a 1 lb higher mark under her in-form claimer.

Annie Law¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 62| BF| D

15/2

Off the mark on handicap debut at Kempton in February but failed to meet expectations after 10 weeks off when 3¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Vasilissa in handicap at Kempton (7f, 9/4) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Merits consideration on turf debut.

Form: 06-616

Forecasts

Vasilissa (4/1), Royal Razzmatazz (11/2), Annie Law (15/2), Juryman (9/1), Inspired Knowhow (9/1), Katar (10/1), Yorkstone (11/1), Erazmus (11/1), Tillybob (14/1), Inverinate (14/1), Rockonmecca (16/1), Nibras Rainbow (16/1), Bowleaze (18/1), Platinum Girl (20/1), Stoic Syd (22/1), Don't What Me Boy (28/1), The Muffin Man (66/1)

An ultra-competitive finale in which the suggestion is VASILISSA, who did well under the circumstances given the lack of pace to open her account at Kempton just over a fortnight ago, and operating from just a 1 lb higher mark, she's fancied to double her tally. Inspired Knowhow should have more to offer making his turf debut, so he heads up the opposition, with Juryman and Annie Law rounding off the shortlist.
