J: D Schwarz
T: F P Habib
Narrow winner of a Listed race beating three of these rivals in November; bids for hat-trick and resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a sixth career win); this represents an easier task than her previous race.

J: M Yeni

Favourite but unable to make the frame when fifth over 6f here (stakes race) three weeks ago; career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 5-12); has won in classy company before and should get involved.

Successful four times from 12 career runs; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just under 5l) in a Listed race in November; others more persuasive despite this looking a little easier than last time.

Verdict

Firm preference is for GOLDEN SICKLE. She is expected to confirm placings after she got the better of Magic Tattoo, Time Fo Orchids and Mover And Shaker when last seen and has won six times over this C&D. Course specialist Elegant Ice can never be overlooked here.
