13:43 – Kamanika
KAMANIKA was a four-time winner last season, with three of those coming on soft or heavy ground, and she looks particularly interesting now getting similar conditions for the first time this year. She also shaped much better than the bare result at Goodwood last time, having gone for home earlier than ideal in a soundly-run affair, and she figures on a handy mark. Laudable and Susiesparkle, both of whom are thriving, may give Joseph Parr’s charge most to think about.
14:15 – Storm Lady
STORM LADY’s sales price rose to €160,000 at the breeze-ups earlier this year and she showed promise on her debut when third to the very exciting Formal at Leicester earlier this month. She left the impression she’d come on quite a bit for that initial experience and this looks a good opening for her. Well-bred newcomers Siena’s Star and Supermodel may prove the biggest dangers and should be monitored in the market.
14:50 – Nardra
The market should reveal plenty here but William Haggas’ Night of Thunder filly NARDRA fetched 440,000 guineas as a yearling so gets the vote from fellow newcomer Nineteen Fourtytwo. Nardra is a half-sister to smart Make Me King, who won as a juvenile, while she is also out of a two-year-old winner, so she has a precocious pedigree and this doesn’t look an overly deep race on paper. Hugo Palmer’s duo Sweet Fantastic and Top Bins also need considering in this intriguing novice.
15:25 – Nad Alshiba Green
With slow ground forecast NAD ALSHIBA GREEN and King of Light both have a little bit to prove but their claims are otherwise strong. The latter got the better of La Bellota (recently just touched off in Group 2 company) at Musselburgh last month and is due to go up 8 lb following his improved effort in a listed race last week. He is not passed over lightly but preference is for Nad Alshiba Green, who did the job well at Sandown last time and may have more to offer. Teej A is best of the rest.
16:00 – Sam Hawkens
There isn’t much between all seven of these and the vote goes to SAM HAWKENS, who wasn’t seen to best effect when fourth on debut for new connections at Ascot and the combination of this step up in trip and slower ground will make this is a far more favourable scenario for the Galileo colt. Hot Fuss is unproven beyond a mile and a quarter but shapes as though he’ll stay, while Minstrel Knight will almost certainly benefit from this stiffer test and he is also feared, along with Filibustering.
16:35 – Givemefive
Judged on his exploits over hurdles last winter (useful form) GIVEMEFIVE could well be on a lenient mark returned to the level. He finished runner-up in the Adonis at Kempton and, with no problem regards ground, he gets the narrow vote over last year’s winner Billy No Mates, who suggested his turn isn’t far away over course and distance last time. Surrey Belle may emerge best of the remainder.
17:10 – Quest For Fun
QUEST FOR FUN bolted up in heavy ground at Catterick on his final start last year and he has returned to form lately, finishing runner-up at Chester last time when returned to testing conditions. He is just 1 lb higher than his last winning mark now and will be a danger to all if building on his latest effort. He’s taken to get the better of last-time-out winners Lexington Belle and King’s Vanity, who may take each other on for the lead.
17:40 – Lord Bertie
LORD BERTIE has been given a chance with his mark given he looked back to his best when scoring at Ascot recently and he may well be able to capitalise under conditions that look ideal. Unexposed pair Flight Radar and Myal are both obvious threats.
