Azure Blue²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 112| BF

5/2

Useful mare. Seven wins from 17 Flat runs. 7¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Electric Storm in listed race at Haydock (6f, soft, 13/8) 29 days ago. Will be a danger to all if able to bounce back to something like her best.

Form: 1/116-75

Origintrail³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 78

50/1

Fairly useful mare. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 34 days ago. Faces a stiff task up in class here.

Form: 2250-23

Pepsi Cat^t³⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: D C Costello| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 92| D

8/1

Useful mare. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. 10/3, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newmarket (5f, good to firm) 34 days ago, readily. More on her plate now but she's not without an each-way chance.

Form: 133151

So Majestic^h,t⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J Fanning| T: Miss K McGivern| OR: 95| D

25/1

Useful filly. 10¼ lengths eighth of 9 to Clarendon House in listed race at Cork (5f, good, 25/1) 8 days ago, possibly amiss. Close third at Naas on penultimate start and place possibilities if able to repeat that.

Form: 455438

Beautiful Diamond²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: D Nolan| T: K R Burke| OR: 103| BF| CD

10/11

Useful filly. C&D winner. Bit below form 3½ lengths fifth of 9 to Kerdos in Temple Stakes (4/1) at Haydock (5f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Huge chance back down in class.

Form: 1351-35

(2)

Gaenari^p1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D E Sheehy| T: D Dias| OR: 76

50/1

Fairly useful filly. Below form fourth of 18 in maiden at the Curragh (6.3f, good to firm, 5/1) 17 days ago. Back down in trip and cheekpieces on for 1st time. Very hard to fancy in this company.

Form: 7-83224

Forecasts

Beautiful Diamond (10/11), Azure Blue (5/2), Graceful Thunder (6/1), Pepsi Cat (8/1), Silent Words (12/1), Conservationist (20/1), So Majestic (25/1), Origintrail (50/1), Gaenari (50/1)

BEAUTIFUL DIAMOND came up short in the Temple Stakes but she should prove hard to beat back down in class and returned to the scene of her success in the Rosebery here last September. Azure Blue is the clear main danger, for all that she has a fair bit to prove following a couple of low-key efforts, while Pepsi Cat is third choice ahead of Graceful Thunder.
