Race Overview

ALMALY (9) was returning from a break when finishing 2nd in a similar course-and-distance event last month and, while she is likely to improve with that comeback run under her belt, a repeat of that performance should suffice in this opening event. KEW BRIDGE (6) is the biggest danger, given her references in stronger races/fields. WATHAB (2) and ZOE (14) have the form and experience to make their presence felt too, with the shortlist completed by MARILLAWOOD (10) and ROYAL CADEAU (3).
