Corinthia Knight^p⁴⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 99| CD

12/1

Winner of 9-30 starst on artificial surfaces, though 0-9 this winter so far. Has been keeping good company but plenty to find with Good Effort (first) and Royal Birth (second) from last month's Newcastle meeting.

Form: 2763-46

Royal Birth^t¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 99| BF| CD

4/1

Pushed even-money favourite Good Effort very hard at Newcastle over this trip last month despite odds of 20-1; no match for that rival in 6f Listed contest here next time and while run well since at Wolverhampton; vulnerable despite getting weight.

Form: 426-273

(6)

Watchable^p¹⁴

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 100| CD

6/1

C&D winner, long way off Good Effort/Royal Birth at Newcastle over 5f last month; turned things right around with the latter at Wolverhampton when winning recently but more on to achieve same with Ben Curtis' mount here.

Form: 211-671

Chitra²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 80| CD

25/1

Dual C&D winner in 2019 though those success came in low-grade handicaps; has it all to do to get a blow in against these rivals on form.

Form: 30711-5

Furious¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 98| D

9/2

Expensively acquired daughter of Oasis Dream won a couple of 5f Chelmsford handicaps in the autumn but was held there when last sighted 154 days ago. Retains scope for plenty improvement and worth keeping an eye on.

Form: 124114-

Hareem Queen³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: K R Burke| OR: 93| D

5/2

Progressive handicapper, not far behind Good Effort in Newcastle Conditions Stakes last month and has won again since at Southwell; remains on the upgrade and she should figure prominently on these terms.

Form: 4112-31

(2)

Puds¹⁰⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: J Fanning| T: R Hughes| OR: 90| D

7/2

Capable mare on her day and can go well fresh but she likely needs a couple of these to falter to come out on top.

Forecasts

Good Effort (6/4), Hareem Queen (5/2), Puds (7/2), Royal Birth (4/1), Furious (9/2), Watchable (6/1), Corinthia Knight (12/1), Chitra (25/1)

GOOD EFFORT made most of the running when scoring over 6f here in this grade three weeks ago and has the ideal draw in stall one to lead his rivals a merry dance again with the drop in trip unlikely to cause him a problem. He's got the measure of Royal Birth and Watchable on previous clashes so the relatively unexposed duo of Furious and Hareem Queen may lead the dangers.
