Inside Story C
3yo b Filly (IRE)Connections
Jockey: Rossa Ryan
Trainer: James Tate
Newmarket, Suffolk
Owner: Saeed Manana
Breeding
Sire: Siyouni (FR)
Dam: Second Glance (IRE)
Damsire: Galileo (IRE)
Comment
Consistent and top-rated, Inside Story has finished second in each of her last two starts and, though yet to score, her rating of 94 puts her clear of this field; having run over today's trip and going, drawn seven carrying 139 lb, she looks the one to beat.

Trainer: John & Thady Gosden
Newmarket, Suffolk
Owner: Sheikh Juma Dalmook Al Maktoum
Breeding
Sire: Iffraaj (GB)
Dam: Sarshampla (IRE)
Damsire: Elzaam (AUS)
Comment
Ranked tenth of twelve on our figures, Afraj faces a stiff task at the weights carrying 135 lb, and a speed rating of 74 does little to inspire confidence; in her favour, she won last time out and has experience over today's trip and going.

Sire: Blue Point (IRE)
Dam: Madly Truly (USA)
Damsire: Malibu Moon ()
Comment
Town Queen won two starts back and has been placed on either side of that success, bringing strong recent consistency to this assignment; she has experience of today's trip and conditions, and at 132 lb the weight is the one factor to consider.

Sire: Zoustar (AUS)
Dam: Hilary J (GB)
Damsire: Mount Nelson (GB)
Comment
Merry was a winner two starts back and has finished second on two of her last four outings, showing consistent form, though she carries a hefty 136 lb from stall one and a speed rating of 74 leaves some questions to answer here.

Owner: Elite Racing Club
Breeding
Sire: Gleneagles (IRE)
Dam: Canasta (GB)
Damsire: Charm Spirit (IRE)
Comment
Placed second on two occasions in recent starts and a winner in her last five, Chantelle has run over today's trip and going and arrives here fit on a 19-day turnaround, though a fifth last time out and 136 lb from stall 12 are factors to weigh.

Osmotherley, N Yorks
Owner: Cragg Wood Racing
Breeding
Sire: Havana Grey (GB)
Dam: Izola (GB)
Damsire: Beat Hollow (GB)
Comment
Winless in her last six starts, Enola Grey does at least bring experience of today's distance and going, and 19 days between runs suggests she arrives fresh; however, a run of unplaced efforts makes it hard to fancy her strongly from stall five off 128 lb.

Jockey: Marco Ghiani
Trainer: Marco Botti
Newmarket, Suffolk
Owner: Paul Hunt
Breeding
Sire: Advertise (GB)
Dam: Victors Lady (IRE)
Damsire: Society Rock (IRE)
Comment
Handle With Care won last time out and has experience of both today's trip and going, giving her a solid platform to go well again; the concern is a layoff of 133 days, and whether she returns straight to peak form.

Marlborough, Wiltshire
Owner: R H J Martin And Mrs J Martin

Sire: Space Blues (IRE)
Dam: Sea Of Grace (IRE)
Damsire: Born To Sea (IRE)
Comment
Back-to-back wins boost her claims, though 102 days off the track is a fitness question mark, and she has run over today's trip and going before; 134 lb from stall 8 keeps the task honest for a filly whose recent form blows hot and cold.

Breeding
Sire: Kodi Bear (IRE)
Dam: Speed Skater (GB)
Damsire: Olympic Glory (IRE)
Comment
Bami arrives here on the back of a win two starts back and a runner-up finish last time out, showing consistent recent form, and she has experience over today's trip and conditions; the main risk is a 32-day absence since that placed effort.

Upper Lambourn, Berks
Owner: Jim And Claire Limited

Sire: Lope Y Fernandez (IRE)
Dam: Burnt Fingers (IRE)
Damsire: Kheleyf (USA)
Comment
Winless in her last five starts, with a string of ninths and unplaced efforts, Lope El Fuego is hard to fancy on these figures, though she has run over today's trip and a third five starts back shows she can find the frame on her day.

Damsire: Street Cry (IRE)
Comment
Bella Bisbee arrives on the back of consecutive sixth-place finishes and is winless in her last six starts, making her hard to fancy ranked last on our figures; a third three starts back offers a crumb of hope, and she has run over today's trip and going before.

Norton, N Yorks
Owner: M Rozenbroek
Breeding
Sire: Ulysses (IRE)
Dam: Khobaraa (GB)
Damsire: Invincible Spirit (IRE)
Comment
A long absence of 381 days is the dominant concern here, compounded by a trainer without a winner in 23 attempts over the past fortnight; ranked ninth of twelve on our figures, she is hard to fancy despite two wins in her last four starts and experience over today's trip.
