Kentucky Gal

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Philip D Amato Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 31-402

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: R Baltas Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 1-2516

Comment: Has won here before; useful in this grade; split a number of these rivals when not beaten too far four weeks ago in an allowance optional claimer; considered as she has worked well and her jockey excels from low numbers over this C&D.

Vincero Grande

Jockey: Diego Herrera Trainer: M Puype Age/Wt: 6/9-0 F: 2523-6

Comment: Not disgraced when sixth of eight over 1m here (starter allowance) 23 days ago; a while since her last success; her best looks to be behind her and others are preferred.

Esmeray

Jockey: Dorde Perovic Trainer: Manuel Badilla Age/Wt: 5/9-0 F: 1105-8

Comment: Finished last of eight on first run for her current trainer last month when she was behind several of these rivals in an allowance optional claimer; has proved to be something of a money spinner in Britain, winning four times from ten runs; she can make a bold bid as peak figure in the past year is the best in the field.

Tiaraqueen

Jockey: Serafin Carmona Trainer: P Gallagher Age/Wt: 4/8-7 F: 476-9

Comment: Finished ninth, beaten 8l, here over 6½f (allowance optional claimer) in February; has struggled to factor since winning a novice stakes at Wetherby last June; steps into the unknown over new trip and hard to recommend.

Mizzyaan

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 2149-3

Comment: Split a number of these rivals four weeks ago when beaten just under 2l to finish third in an allowance optional claimer; has winning track form; respected.
