Verdict

Lightly-raced 3-y-o AMALOU may be able to follow up her Windsor win if blinkers have the same effect. Arlecchino's Rex has rock-solid claims for a third course victory, while Tiger Beetle could be interesting off a falling mark with blinkers refitted.

5	Proved a different proposition in blinkers when making her second handicap start a winning one at Windsor, pulling clear with runner-up on long run-in. A sharper track may not be ideal, however, she's relatively fresh/unexposed and certainly interesting if headgear has a similar effect. 1st Pick 5 Amalou Jockey: Warren Fentiman Trainer: Daniel & Claire Kubler J: Warren Fentiman T: Daniel & Claire Kubler	100	-	-	-	29%

1	Course regular. Landed his first win away from this venue when tackling 1½m for the first time at Lingfield earlier this month. Ran at least as well in defeat when 1¼-length third over C&D latest, deserving additional credit given he came widest into the straight. Expected to go close here. 2nd Pick 1 Arlecchino's Rex Jockey: Rose Dawes Trainer: Mark Usher J: Rose Dawes T: Mark Usher	98	-	-	-	42%

2	Matched best of his recent form when third at Chepstow on penultimate start. Wasn't disgraced/extended long losing run in Lingfield classified event in cheekpieces latest. Makes some appeal, with blinkers back on for first time since finishing third (in a slightly better event) here in the spring. 3rd Pick 2 Tiger Beetle Jockey: Zoe Lewis Trainer: Thomas Faulkner J: Zoe Lewis T: Thomas Faulkner	97	-	-	-	12%
