Ambiente Amigo³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: James Owen| OR: 97

4/1

Useful filly. 33/1, very good second of 14 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 31 days ago, suited by strong pace. Leading claims, even though slower ground would probably be ideal over this trip.

Form: 53476-2

Ciara Pearl²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 87| BF| D

12/1

Fairly useful mare. Six wins from 17 Flat runs. Five wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win at Newbury in October. Ninth of 10 in handicap (7/2) at Leicester (11.8f, good) 25 days ago. Looks up against it at this level.

Form: 23615-9

Francophone²⁰⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 100| D

13/8

Useful filly. Two wins from 6 runs last year. 40/1, good 2¾ lengths fourth of 15 to Lady Boba in Pride Stakes at Newmarket (10f, good to soft). Successful on her reappearance last season and a bold show likely back from a break this time round, too.

Form: 121844-

Karmology²⁰⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 96| D

9/4

Useful mare. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good to soft, 9/2) on latest start in October, not knocked about. Solid chance judged on good handicap/listed form last summer.

Form: 212299-

Mexicali Rose³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 94

16/1

Useful mare. 33/1, 10 lengths seventh of 9 to Big Gossey in Gladness Stakes at the Curragh (7f, soft) 31 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Significantly up in trip and this Irish raider needs to raise her game a touch.

Form: 03530-7

(7)

Rose Prick³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E Walker| OR: 94

11/1

Useful mare. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Bit below form 5¼ lengths fifth of 10 to Soprano in listed race (12/1) at Kempton (8f) 31 days ago. Up in trip and looks vulnerable for win purposes.

Form: 32554-5

Forecasts

Francophone (13/8), Karmology (9/4), Ambiente Amigo (4/1), Jane Temple (10/1), Rose Prick (11/1), Ciara Pearl (12/1), Mexicali Rose (16/1)

The most appealing of these all things considered is KARMOLOGY, who clearly wasn't on-song at Newmarket on her final start of last year but her 4-y-o campaign was broadly progressive and, with just 10 races under her belt, there could be better to come this season. Francophone is second choice given that Ambiente Amigo is likely to find things happening too quickly over this trip with fast ground forecast.
