Form & Verdict

Useful on her day but has proved inconsistent this term, clear best effort when second in Musselburgh Listed event in June; weakened late in 7f handicap at York last time, so this return to 6f seems a positive.

J: Ryan Moore

T: William Haggas

Had a spirited end to 2023, winning a handicap and runner-up in a Listed race (both 6f on soft; effective on good to firm) but this year hasn't gone so well and she hasn't repeated a good second, when upped to 7f in a Listed race at Musselburgh in June, in two runs since; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; needs a turnaround.

Acts on soft and good to firm; ran well when short-head second, splitting Kitai and Dance And Romance, at Goodwood most recently; creditable fourth in this race last year; consistent filly who has solid claims.

Katey Kontent

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Clive Cox

Got up late to win a Class 3 handicap at Windsor on her reappearance in May; two solid efforts since but she wouldn't be sure to confirm latest Windsor placings with Aramis Grey; all three wins on good to firm but she's fine on good to soft or quicker.

Form & Verdict

Best form this season in Class 4 events at Windsor, winning readily in June (good to firm) and neck second on latest outing (good to soft); however, bit to prove in this higher grade at this different venue.

Started this season with a C&D win (good) in April; has not hit the same level in three runs since but she had no luck behind Amazonian Dream here last time and is now only 2lb higher than for her last success; dangerous.

2-2 under Harry Davies, including C&D success (off 3lb lower) in April; somewhat interesting with that rider back on board but still seeking first win above Class 4 and others may be better treated.

Form & Verdict

Acts on soft and good to firm; found to be slightly lame last time; perhaps better judged on her Glorious Goodwood performance (first win since joining this yard) when narrowly beating Katey Kontent and Dance And Romance; remains of interest.

Kitai

8st 13lb

J: Jason Watson

T: Michael Appleby

Beaten favourite in this race last year when chasing a hat-trick, rearing as the stalls opened; she returns off a 12lb lower mark and there was more promise at Newmarket 11 days ago (behind Star Of Lady M; third run for Mick Appleby) when making a move into contention but unable to sustain her effort in the final furlong; that was after 140 days off and she could be sharper today; one to consider.

Form & Verdict

Both starts at Haydock, easily winning a novice event (7f, good) then well held in Listed grade (1m); Group 1 entry suggests she's thought capable of better still; possibilities back down in trip/class.

Second foal; dam US 6.5f-1m1f turf winner (including Grade 2; RPR 100), half-sister to US winners Harvest Moon (8.5f Grade 2) and Astronomer (Graded stakes-placed 1m); interesting to see how she fares on debut.

Form & Verdict

Acts on good to firm and good to soft (unraced on slower); steadily improving filly whose form figures read 1213, faring best of the 3yos in Glorious Goodwood handicap most recently; ties in closely with Kitai and Katey Kontent on that effort; respected with further progress possible.

Made it 2-3 when winning on handicap debut at Nottingham (6f, good to soft) in July; close third at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 11 days later and this well-bred 3yo could continue to progress; key player.

Overcame inexperience to win at Southwell on her debut in April; bumped into a useful rival at Lingfield on second start (didn't handle the home turn) and returned from 11 weeks off to win a Nottingham handicap 11 days ago in good style (6f, good to soft); up 6lb against better opposition but she hasn't hit her ceiling yet.

Progressive start to her career included two wins; has lacked consistency since but ran respectably in first-time visor at Thirsk most recently; could go well, with tongue-tie and blinkers now applied.

On the up prior to a lacklustre effort at Newmarket last month; fair run at Goodwood three weeks ago and this is an ease in class; still has time on her side after just five runs.

Betting Forcast

8/1 Pinafore, 4/1 Katey Kontent, 10/1 Havana Pusey, 8/1 Under The Twilight, 8/1 Kitai, 5/1 American Arrow, 3/1 Dance And Romance, 6/1 Miss Bodacious

Verdict

With further improvement possible, Dance And Romance (second choice) may reverse Goodwood placings with Kitai and Katey Kontent. However, an interesting alternative is UNDER THE TWILIGHT who remains unbeaten at Salisbury and appears nicely handicapped.[Steve Boow]
