Gale Force Maya^p²⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 104| D

11/2

Progressed into a smart sprinter last year, winning 5 times (bagged listed events at York and Ayr) and signed off with a creditable fourth at Newmarket. Disappointed there on return but soft ground might have been against her. Well worth another chance.

Form: 21104-0

Aramis Grey⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 95| D

10/1

Useful mare who regained the winning thread in Lingfield conditions' event in February (with bit in hand). Good second in similar event at Newcastle and not taken lightly back on turf.

Form: 12-2212

(7)

Get Ahead²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 100

7/4

Useful filly who shaped well at Bath on return and similar form when sixth in Palace House at Newmarket. Needs considering back down in class.

Form: 4019-36

(8)

Kape Moss²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 95| D

8/1

Better than ever this season, returning with last-gasp 5f win at Southwell. Went close to following up when a fast-finishing third in handicap at Epsom (5f) before excellent fourth in listed race at Newmarket, finishing in front a few of these. Respected.

Form: 444-134

(4)

Makarova^t²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Walker| OR: 93| D

4/1

Landed back-to-back Salisbury handicaps (at 6f) last spring and she acquitted herself well after, including when fifth in listed race at Newmarket on return. Should come on for that.

Form: 22722-5

(9)

Princess Shabnam²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Nicola Currie| T: S Woods| OR: 99| D

12/1

Useful filly who took a step back in the right direction when sixth in listed race at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and player if building on that.

Form: 2108-06

(1)

Scot's Grace²⁷⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 85| D

66/1

Fairly useful form without winning for Hugo Palmer last season and up against it starting out for new yard on return.

Form: 569308-

It's Showtime Baby^b1²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Hector Crouch| T: A Watson| OR: 90

50/1

Highly tried after making winning debut at Dundalk last spring and was well held in listed race at Chelmsford on return. Others stronger.

Form: 13558-0

(6)

Sweet Harmony¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: R Spencer| OR: 94| D

17/2

Fourth in the Rockfel at Newmarket on her final 2yo start but has struggled in Nell Gwyn/1000 Guineas this season. Opposable back sprinting up against her elders.

Form: 5104-70

Forecasts

Get Ahead (7/4), Makarova (4/1), Gale Force Maya (11/2), Kape Moss (8/1), Sweet Harmony (17/2), Aramis Grey (10/1), Princess Shabnam (12/1), It's Showtime Baby (50/1), Scot's Grace (66/1)

GALE FORCE MAYA showed smart form when winning twice at this level last season and this looks another good opportunity for her to add to her tally under a penalty back on ground which should prove more suitable. Get Ahead is feared most back down in class, with Kape Moss best of the others.
