T: Scott Dixon

Consistent filly who's been inclined to pull hard over 6f here the last twice; did well to get as close last Friday, given she fluffed the start and had to switch for a run, and has a chance of breaking her duck on turf (0-13; three-time winner on Tapeta).

Has done her winning over 5f on AW; behind a few of today's rivals over C&D most recently, taking turf record to 0-12; enough reasons to oppose her.

Alondra

8st 13lb

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Scott Dixon

Won at Wolverhampton (5f, AW) in February on just her second start for this yard and defied a penalty over that C&D four days later; creditable effort when sharing third over this trip at Southwell (AW) in April and maybe the cheekpieces backfired when fifth at Wolverhampton one week ago; that equipment is now removed and she has form on turf, so she's not ruled out.

Done his winning on the AW but is fine on turf; not best drawn when behind All Ways Glamorous at Ascot in the spring (now 2lb worse off) before not looking to see out 6f last time; needs a career-best off his current mark but this is less competitive.

Has done most of his racing on AW (4-20) but seems at least as effective on turf and he went close at Chepstow three weeks ago; all wins over 5f but he tends to finish strongly and should be just as good at 6f; may not be fully exposed and the booking of young Aussie star Zac Lloyd catches the eye.

He has made giant strides for this yard, winning four handicaps since August (two over C&D); solid efforts in defeat on his last two starts but Alondra scooted past him here 24 days ago and he will need to raise his game a level to resume winning ways.
