Prince Achille

9st 8lb

J: Jack Garritty

T: Jedd O’Keeffe

His last five wins have come over C&D, the latest in November; recent efforts no more than respectable, though, and remains 4lb above that last successful mark.

Prince Achille

9st 10lb

J: Jack Garritty

T: Jedd O’Keeffe

His last five wins have come at Newcastle, but he hasn't been at his best there in last three starts; went close off this mark in November but he needs to get back near that level; all AW wins have been at 1m2f but he has won over this trip on turf.

8/1

Form & Verdict
Won over 1m2f at Ayr before her near miss there on Monday where she came from some way off the pace; could be considered a tad unlucky and gets in here off the same mark; stays this far and could give Halimede a race.

Recobella

9st 7lb

J: Jack Nicholls

T: Philip Kirby

In good form this year, most recently when coming from the rear for C&D (good) success five weeks ago; subsequent 3lb rise is offset by Jack Nicholls' claim today; likely contender again.

3/1

Betting Forcast

14/1 Prince Achille, 4/9 Halimede, 7/2 Recobella

Verdict

The chances are that HALIMEDE will complete a quick-fire hat-trick, though Recobella could make a race of it as she was perhaps unlucky not to have won off this mark at Ayr on Monday.[Alistair Jones]
