Form & Verdict
Regular front-runner; at the top of her game having shown career-best form the last twice, easily beating a subsequent winner at Kempton (2m, good to soft; third run for current stable) then going close at Wetherby (2m3f, good; Class 2) five days later; rested five weeks since; has won on heavy ground; respected up just 4lb and back down in grade.

J: Luke Scott

2-5 for new stable since the autumn, the latter win gained in three-runner race at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; 2m4f on good ground should also suit but recent 4lb rise demands a career best here.

8 yo Mare

OR: 115

Form & Verdict
In great form on the Flat in Jersey last summer and largely continued the good work back hurdling in the autumn, winning twice; below par on final outing, however, and has unsuitable conditions on return from four-month break (all wins on good/firmer).

Won at Wincanton (1m7f, good) last October and is now just 1lb higher; however, this 10yo hasn't been at the top of her game on either outing this spring and was no match for Therapist at Stratford last time.

Princess T

11st 7lb

J: Conor O’Farrell

T: Neil Mulholland

Has very good 7-31 strike-rate over hurdles but a couple of those wins were collected in small-field races in Jersey; didn't run badly when last of five at Exeter last month, after a layoff, and could be favoured if the ground ends up quicker than good here, but her two younger rivals appeal more.

8 yo Mare

OR: 107

Form & Verdict
Added to her big tally in Jersey last spring/summer and ran respectably on her return to the mainland in October; form dipped next time and has unfavourable ground on return from four-month layoff (most wins on good/faster); similar profile to stablemate Princess T.

Molliana

J: Saffie Osborne

T: Neil Mulholland

Prolific in Jersey on Flat and over hurdles, with her latest win (1m4f, firm) last month; has never won on the Flat in Britain but this season's three visits to Bath suggest she will probably not be far away.

7 yo Mare

OR: 107

Form & Verdict
Started her hurdles career with a hat-trick (2m-2m3f) at novice level; has taken a while to find her feet in handicaps but regained the winning thread at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft), beating her rivals comfortably; good chance under 7lb penalty provided she remains in the same form.
