Verdict: FLATTERMEINCOURT is strongly fancied to come out on top. She could capitalise if the leaders go too fast. Inxpress is another to consider.

Comment: Stepped up on her last two starts; problems at the start (bumped) over 5½f here (maiden optional claimer) when on the premises, finishing third at 9-4 28 days ago (had Inxpress (fourth) and C's Lilly Dancer (seventh) behind) on debut for this trainer; in with a shout as recent performance was encouraging.

4/1

Comment: Fourth but beaten only just under 3l on her debut (5½f, here) at 14-1 29 days ago; related to Grade 3 winner Mira Mission; The Factor gets turf winners; needs to make above-average progress.

5/1

Comment: Respectable display to finish fourth, beaten just over 4l over 5½f here (maiden optional claimer) dropped back in distance last month; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; a likely player as recent effort was encouraging.

Comment: Sire does get winners on the turf; couldn't land a blow when fourth of six in a maiden optional claimer last month; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Comment: Not beaten too far (7l) on her debut running here over 5½f at 28-1 four weeks ago; sire does get winners on the turf; couldn't rule out improvement although wouldn't get too carried away.

Comment: Behind Krewe d'Etat when last of 12 last month in a maiden claimer; Sir Prancealot gets turf winners; best she's managed so far is sixth from three career starts; others more appealing.

4/1

Comment: Successful three times from 5½f to 1m; not beaten too far when fifth here in a claimer on debut for new trainer (close behind Corn Pop) last month; should not be far away as shown promise on occasion and best speed figure over the past year reads well comparatively.
