15/8

Comment: Irish mare who registered a 5l success in Listed grade at Cheltenham (good) in November when last seen, taking record to 2-4 and looking very useful; the form has been boosted; leading contender.

Charisma Cat

Jockey: Tom Cannon Trainer: Alan King Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 1121 OR: 119

1 tip

7/2

Comment: All starts on good to soft ground; should be unbeaten as she looked unlucky (behind Kingston Queen) in a Market Rasen Listed event that threw up the winners of this contest in 2023 and 2024; gained compensation in same grade at Sandown, ridden out and taking record to 3-4; trainer has landed this prize three times; strong credentials.

9/2

Comment: Irish point winner who was bought by current connections for £130,000 at the Goffs Aintree Sale a year ago; has justified favouritism in both rules attempts, latest stylishly at Ascot (good); this unbeaten mare looks potentially smart and commands respect.

4 tips

11/1

Comment: Finished just over 5l behind Seo Linn at Cheltenham (second start) but looks set for an interesting rematch with that opponent, having subsequently opened her account at Warwick (soft) where she collared stablemate Highland Haven in the final stride; could well build on that win.

12/1

Comment: Promising debut in C&D contest (good) in October, beating a useful rival; unplaced favourite on soft going at Huntingdon (Listed) since; may progress returned to Aintree and forecast better ground.

Kingston Queen

Jockey: Jack Tudor Trainer: David Pipe Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 3211 OR: 119

14/1

Comment: Improving mare whose rules record is 3211, most recently holding on from unlucky Charisma Cat in a Market Rasen Listed event (good to soft) that produced the winners of this prize in 2023 and 2024; not certain to confirm placings with that rival but is still a notable player on form.

Getawhisky

Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 14 OR: 114

16/1

Comment: Both starts on good to soft; beat the consistent Roses All The Way at Carlisle; finished behind Kingston Queen and Charisma Cat at Market Rasen but ran well and may do better still.

Betty's Daisy

Jockey: Ben Jones Trainer: Ben Pauling Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 1 OR: 116

20/1

Comment: Bred to do well in bumpers and duly created a favourable impression at Warwick (soft) where she galloped on strongly for a 7l win; smart prospect who represents last year's winning yard; interesting contender.

La Conquiere

Jockey: G Sheehan Trainer: Jamie Snowden Age/Wt: 6/11-2 F: 2 OR: 109

22/1

Comment: Belied her 80-1 odds with a close second behind odds-on shot at Thurles (good) in sole start for Denis Leahy; the betting may help to gauge whether she's likely to improve on that effort.

25/1

Comment: Travelled smoothly into contention and stylishly justified favouritism at Newcastle (AW) for a promising debut; now goes in tongue-tie; plenty to find on bare ratings but brings potential.

Highland Haven

Jockey: Liam Harrison Trainer: Fergal O'Brien Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 162 OR: 117

33/1

Comment: Thrice-raced mare who ran well under a penalty at Warwick (soft) most recently, collared in the final stride by stablemate Strong Run; gets 4lb pull with that rival and brings a respectable rating.

Oldschool Outlaw

Jockey: Mr Harry Swan Trainer: Garry Caldwell Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 2 OR: 106

50/1

Comment: Irish mare who failed to justify favouritism in two points; belied her 33-1 odds with close second at Leopardstown (yielding) on the switch to rules but seems inferior to her compatriot Seo Linn.

Queen Kate

Jockey: James Bowen Trainer: Peter & Michael Bowen Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 1 OR: 105

50/1

Comment: Overcame some trouble to win with something to spare at Doncaster (good); however, needs major progress as she's well down the pack on bare figures in this markedly deeper contest.

La Zoubida

66/1

Comment: Both outings on good to soft; proved no match for Kingston Queen at Sedgefield then probably didn't need to improve in justifying favouritism at Market Rasen; this is a harder task.

Amelia's Star

Jockey: Nick Slatter Trainer: David Killahena & Graeme McPhe Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 21 OR: 105

80/1

Comment: No match for the winner at Wetherby then probably didn't need to improve at Newcastle (AW) where the manner of her success was far from spectacular; doesn't look Graded material.

Roses All The Way

Jockey: B S Hughes Trainer: Donald McCain Age/Wt: 6/11-2 F: 223 OR: 113

St Jessica

Jockey: Rachael Blackmore Trainer: B F Brookhouse Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 2 OR: 104

80/1

Comment: Promising second at Huntingdon (good to soft) and could well go one better at the right level; however, she appears to be flying too high in this grade, judged on the bare figures.

Celestron Star

Jockey: Luke Scott Trainer: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Ins Age/Wt: 5/11-2 F: 61 OR: 112

100/1

Comment: Justified market support at Hereford (good) but didn't do it in the style of a Graded mare and needs significant further progress to follow up that success.

Slack Alice

Jockey: S Bowen Trainer: Patrick Owens Age/Wt: 4/10-8 F: 842 OR: 104

125/1

Comment: Form figures of 842 reflect that she's heading in the right direction, clear second at Huntingdon (soft) most recently; however, she looks a long way short of this standard.
