J: Robert Havlin

T: John & Thady Gosden

Likeable 5yo who signed off for last year with a demolition job on 17 rivals in Listed event at Doncaster (1m2f, heavy) in November; possibly ideally suited by the mud but drying ground should not inconvenience her unduly and she has made the frame in two Group 2 races over 1m6f; the one to beat if giving her running after a winter break.

Best effort last season was over 1m4f on heavy ground in October and she's shown similar form in Group 2s over about 1m6f in her only two starts this term, keeping Waardah up to her work at Goodwood on first occasion; a fair bit extra will be needed from her if she's to win this.

Closely related to 2m4f Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami; best last term when second in 1m4f Newbury Group 3 (heavy) in October; unraced this season until her battling second in Group 2 at Goodwood six weeks ago on the step up to 1m6f; that's one of the best pieces of form in this line-up and she could build on it; a leading player from top stable which runs four.

Wide-margin winner of 1m4f Ripon novice last autumn; well held in handicaps so far but the signs were slightly better over C&D (soft) latest and the easing of the ground, and perhaps fitting cheekpieces, can help.
