Lights On³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 98| CD

5/1

Landed a 1m novice as a 2-y-o and progressed again this term, winning on return at Nottingham and digging deep to follow up over 1m here in May (coming clear with runner up). Expected to go well again

Form: 2123-11

Tomorrow's Dream^p,t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 98| D

40/1

Useful filly who scored twice in handicaps last term. Far from disgraced at a higher level since, 7 lengths fourth in Epsom Group 3 (8.5f) earlier this month. Career-high mark to defy here, though.

Form: 7635-64

Waliyak²⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 96| BF

9/1

Consistent, useful filly who resumed progress when bolting up in a Lingfield handicap (10f) in September. Midfield at listed level final start and not ruled out on return for in-form yard.

Form: 1/22415-

Stunning Beauty¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S De Sousa| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 96| D

7/1

Dual 1m novice winner as a 3-y-o who dispelled pair of lesser efforts at Meydan earlier this year when back to winning ways at Doncaster (1m) 12 days ago. However, this demands more from 3 lb higher.

Form: 11-901

(8)

Dreamloper³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: E Walker| OR: 96| BF| CD

4/1

Low-mileage filly who ended last season with success over 1m here in September. Improved again in defeat this spring, just touched off by Lights On here in May. 1 lb better off with that rival now.

Form: 3131-42

So I Told You²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D McMonagle⁽³⁾| T: J P O'Brien| OR: 95| D

14/1

Back on track upon joining present yard, landing back-to-back Sligo handicaps at around 10.5f in May, latterly by 5 lengths. Career-high mark to defy now but not ruled out in present groove.

Form: 8730-11

Pholas^p1,t¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: G Boughey| OR: 92| D

50/1

A big success story on AW this year, improving again to land valuable conditions event at Lingfield on Good Friday. No significant impact on turf since, albeit out of depth in Epsom Group 3 latest.

Mostly^t⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 90| BF| D

12/1

Low-mileage 4-y-o who showed useful form to double career tally at Kempton (1m) in March (on back of a wind op). Too free in Nottingham listed event (10.2f) since and drop back in trip a plus.

Form: 2/142-17

Apricot Moon^t1⁵⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: G Boughey| OR: 90| D

33/1

Unable to make impact at listed/Group level in Ireland for Andrew Oliver last year but possible return/yard debut at Nottingham was needed in April. Needs to show benefit of that run to feature.

Form: 79960-6

Declared Interest¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 89| D

11/1

Strong in betting to resume winning ways at Chelmsford (10f) final start last year and picked up where she left off to go in again at Leicester (8.2f) in May, winning readily. Should go well again.

Form: 76391-1

Separate³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S M Levey| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 87

80/1

Kept busy as a 2-y-o but largely disappointing during light 3-y-o campaign. Good third on Nottingham return for new yard and soft ground a plausible excuse when well held behind Lights On here since.

Form: 6484-36

(16)

Caspian Queen²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: James Doyle| T: S Woods| OR: 87

22/1

Promising third returning from 6 months off at Lingfield (7f) in April and built on that when getting on top close home at Kempton (7f) in May. Totally unexposed at this sort of trip and interesting.

Form: 7556-31

(1)

Angel Of The Glen²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽⁵⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 85| D

50/1

Landed Thirsk maiden/handicap on 2 of 3 starts last season and ran well to finish runner-up on first 2 starts this spring. Struggled at listed level since though, and this another tough ask.

Form: 161-229

(18)

Quickstep Lady⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 85| BF

50/1

Off the mark in a Goodwood novice (7f) in August and hit the frame next 3 starts, runner-up at Wolverhampton in March having conceded first run. Not in same form at Doncaster (7f) latest, however.

Form: 212-324

(13)

Dalanijujo¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: W Buick| T: M R Channon| OR: 83| D

18/1

Consistent during light 2020 campaign and improved form to make winning return at Yarmouth (1m) last month, getting on top final 100 yds. Only 4 lb higher now and interesting under William Buick.

Form: 5/8323-1

(10)

Lola Showgirl²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 81

12/1

Lightly-raced filly who justified market support to make a winning return at York (7f) last month, making the running and battling well when challenged. Return to this longer trip should hold no fears

Form: 22156-1

(2)

Ffion²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: R Kingscote| T: D Loughnane| OR: 81

10/1

Won pair of AW minor events (7f) last year and hard to knock her exploits in handicaps this spring, collared late on at Haydock (7f) 25 days ago. Encounters much quicker conditions here however.

Form: 11-22

(7)

Miss Mulligan⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Hayley Turner| T: George Scott| OR: 80| D

50/1

Winner at Windsor (1m) in October. Consistent in handful of starts so far this term, staying on close home when third at aforementioned venue (11.5f) 9 days ago. Takes a marked drop back in trip now.

Form: 13-3243

Forecasts

Dreamloper (4/1), Lights On (5/1), Stunning Beauty (7/1), Waliyak (9/1), Ffion (10/1), Declared Interest (11/1), Lola Showgirl (12/1), Mostly (12/1), So I Told You (14/1), Dalanijujo (18/1), Caspian Queen (22/1), Apricot Moon (33/1), Tomorrow's Dream (40/1), Pholas (50/1), Miss Mulligan (50/1), Angel Of The Glen (50/1), Quickstep Lady (50/1), Separate (80/1)

A fiendishly competitive handicap to finish with the narrow vote in favour of DREAMLOPER. Just touched off by re-opposing Lights On over 1m here last month, she was still a shade keener than ideal and with this bigger field scenario a likely plus, she is fancied to come out on top. The latter named is upwardly mobile also and feared, along with So I Told You, Caspian Queen and Dalanijujo.
