3/1
Mare on fine terms with herself following hat-trick of wins, two at Chelmsford and last month over this C&D. Rising in the weights as she goes but should pose a threat again with another 4lb added.

9/2
Sixties Icon mare got her reward for a consistent winter with a Wolverhampton success over this trip last time out, carries an additional 6lb for her troubles and needs her very best stuff to score from increased mark.

8/1
Two-time winner on turf (both 6f) and remains lightly-raced. Handles the AW and while failed to fire here in November over 6f, wouldn't be ruled out and capable of big effort fresh if ready to go.

4/1
Won successive Class 2 handicaps (both 1m) around this time last year and, following a light turf campaign, has bounced back to go close three times on the AW this winter. Beaten favourite off this mark at Chelmsford a week ago, drops a grade now.

8/1
Filly ran fine races here and at Lingfield over 6f in November under this excellent claiming rider, she's looks worth a try over 7f and should have a say in the finish.

Age: 5|  Weight: 8-11| J: F Norton| T: M Wigham| OR:  81| D
20/1
Been waiting a while for turn to come around (12 runs) and was again well held over 6f here last month, still looks a bit high in the weights.

Lady Perignon21
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-11| J: Jason Watson(7)| T: A M Balding| OR:  81
10/1
Frontrunner, won over 1m at Lingfield last month but is rated 5lb higher and in stiffer grade this time, likely to be vulnerable once things start to get serious on the run for home.

10/1
C&D winner in December, albeit in a weaker event, followed up at Wolverhampton in January but since been held at Chelmsford. Drops back to 7f now but may struggle despite yard being in good form.

Dusky Maid22
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-9| J: Barry McHugh| T: J G Given| OR:  79| D
14/1
Another in this line-up that often likes to get on with things, she was well beaten over 6f here last month and has something to find on current terms seemingly.

Yeah Baby Yeaht133
Age: 5|  Weight: 8-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR:  78| D
16/1
Remains without a win after 25 attempts on the Flat, minor promise shown in Lingfield and Chantilly runs over this sort of trip either side of New Year, needs first-time tongue tie to provide a spark.

Forecasts

Lucymai (3/1), Carolinae (4/1), Summer Icon (9/2), Cartographer (8/1), Rose Berry (8/1), Veena (10/1), Lady Perignon (10/1), Dusky Maid (14/1), Yeah Baby Yeah (16/1), Clear Water (20/1)

Verdict

Lucymai is in super form lately and, following her recent C&D success, should mount a decent bid for the four-timer despite a 4lb hike. Lady Perignon and Dusky Maid may prove vulnerable on the front end so the votes goes to CAROLINAE, who has banged on the door three times over long trips this winter and might get in now for the hot Charlie Fellowes yard (2-7). She has won in better company than this and is primed for a big effort after her near miss at Chelmsford. Summer Icon and Rose Berry are others worth considering.
  1. Carolinae
  2. Lucymai
  3. Rose Berry
