Battenburg Belle CD
3yo b Filly (IRE)Connections
Jockey: Jason Hart
Trainer: Rebecca Menzies
Owner: Ursa Major Racing Ltd
Breeding
Sire: Inns Of Court (IRE)
Dam: Fainleog (IRE)
Damsire: Rock Of Gibraltar (IRE)
Comment
Battenburg Belle won twice in a row two and three starts back before a fourth last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going. Her 35-day break and 133 lb on her back are the main risk, with the rest not ideal for a filly bidding to resume winning ways.

Comment
Won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but that is one win in her last six, with a fourth three starts back and an unplaced run two starts back in between. Ranked eighth of ten on our figures and carrying 125 lb from draw 2, she is hard to fancy.

Comment
Winless in his last five, with a fourth last time out, a seventh and a ninth before that, Blue Jay Way is hard to fancy and sits ninth of ten on our figures. In his favour, he's fresh from a 14-day break and has run over today's trip and going before.

Sire: Kodiac (GB)

Damsire: Lawman (FR)
Comment
Barmyblade has run over today's trip and going before, and a second two starts back, with a winner five starts back, shows he can land a blow, while our rating of 59 ranks him third of ten. The main risk is an eighth last time out, though he returns fresh after 22 days.

Sire: Footstepsinthesand (GB)
Dam: Little Empress (IRE)
Damsire: Holy Roman Emperor (IRE)
Comment
Impressor is our top-rated runner, a gelding who has won once in his last six starts and finished third two starts back, with experience of both today's trip and going. He turned out just a day ago after a sixth last time out, which is the one reservation, but our rating of 62 and a speed figure of 64 make him the one to beat from stall six.

Comment
Runner-up last time out and fresh enough after 20 days, Desert Master has run over today's trip and going, but he is yet to win in his last six starts and a seventh and sixth in that spell suggest consistency is lacking. Our rating of 54 ranks him seventh of ten.

Comment
Stoneywell is winless in his last six, though a sixth last time out was his best of that run, and he has run over today's trip before. A 69-day break and 134 lb from stall eight temper enthusiasm, with our rating of 56 placing him sixth of ten.

Comment
Stormy Pearl has finished third in three of her last six, including a third three starts back and another four starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 60 ranks her second of ten. The risk is she's yet to win in that spell, and a fifth last time out leaves her something to prove.

Comment
Ottawa is yet to win in his last six starts, though a fifth last time out and a fourth two starts back suggest he's close to his level, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A 36-day break and 132 lb temper enthusiasm, but our rating of 56 puts him fifth of ten.

Comment
Winless in his last six, Pinpoint was only sixth last time out and returns after 48 days off, though a third and a second in that spell show he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip. Rated 46 by us, he ranks last of ten, so he is hard to fancy.
