Blakeley Rise

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: William Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: C Grant

25/1

Second foal: dam, placed in points, half-sister to fair hurdle winner/smart chaser (stayed 29f) Soll. Tough ask on debut.

Form:

Chica Princesa

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Craig Nichol| T: Micky Hammond

8/1

Wings of Eagles filly. Half-sister to bumper winner Northern Belle. Should have enough speed, so worth a market check.

Form:

Dotinthedistance

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Edward Austin⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul Robson

28/1

First foal: dam, dual winning pointer, sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 25f) Cool Mission (who was third in a bumper on debut), and half-sister to several winners, including fair 2m hurdler Sea Mark.

Form:

Hannigan's Power

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Ross Chapman| T: G Boanas

28/1

Milan mare. Dam, poor maiden hurdler, sister to fairly useful hurdler (2m-2¾m winner) Leave At Dawn out of hurdle/chase winner up to 2½m Hannigan's Lodger. Unlikely to trouble market principals on first outing.

Form:

Kingston Queen²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Gearoid Harney⁽⁷⁾| T: D Pipe

8/15

Filly by Kingston Hill who cost £80,000 as 4-y-o. Dam unraced sister to fairly useful hurdler/chaser (stayed 21f) Competitive Edge. Won an Irish point and ran third in a Chepstow bumper on stable debut. Backed it up with second at Plumpton 24 days ago, shaping like a stayer. Big player.

Form: 1-32

La Zoubida

Age: 4| Weight: 11-2| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards

11/4

Cost €70,000 as 3-y-o and is half-sister to French listed hurdler (15f-19f winner) Mister Emily. Yard in great form and is one to monitor for any market support on debut.

Forecasts

Kingston Queen (8/15), La Zoubida (11/4), Lady Kluck (3/1), Arctic Duchess (15/2), Chica Princesa (8/1), Blakeley Rise (25/1), Dotinthedistance (28/1), Hannigan's Power (28/1)

KINGSTON QUEEN can make it third time lucky under Rules, following two encouraging efforts since joining this yard. Both Lady Kluck and Arctic Duchess have made the running and could set this race up for the selection, the former is respected having already scored over C&D, while the latter can build on a pleasing debut.
