9/2

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Browne McMonagle| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 90

Sand Gazelle³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 105

7/2

Useful filly. Career best when winning 12-runner listed race (4/1) at York (10.2f, good) 36 days ago by neck from Rainbows Edge. This British raider looks set to make a bold bid.

Form: 1-4301

(4)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Declan McDonogh| T: A Murray| OR: 88

66/1

Forecasts

Red Letter (6/5), Sand Gazelle (7/2), Barnavara (9/2), Azada (9/2), Snellen (5/1), Easy Mover (25/1), And So To Bed (33/1), Spicy Margarita (66/1)

The way AZADA travelled in a 1¼m course Group 3 last time suggests this slightly shorter trip could prove ideal and she's taken to deny British raider Sand Gazelle, another who could prove suited to this trip. Red Letter may prove best of the remainder.
