It’s a bit of a worry that Esteemable was beaten over five lengths at Doncaster in between a couple of good efforts on the Polytrack and HALA MADRID (NAP) is preferred. Andrew Balding’s filly was placed at Windsor earlier this month, her first start since August, and looks up to winning off her current mark. The latter comment also applies to Lulani, beaten only a length at Nottingham last month, while Welsh Gem made a winning start at Chelmsford last year but has struggled in both subsequent starts. Stosur and Miss Inga Sock look no nearer winning despite both continuing to slip down the weights.
Stosur (IRE) 7-1 (9-0) Led and set steady pace, pushed along over 2f lout, ridden and headed over 1f out, weakening when slightly hampered 1f out, 6th of 7, 5 3/4l behind Whoopsy Daisy (8-8) at Chelmsford City 1m 2f hcp (4) pol in Mar.
Esteemable 11-4 (8-10) Tracked leaders, ridden to chase leader 2f out, every chance inside final furlong, went 2nd near finish, 2nd of 4, 1/2l behind Lucy The Painter (9-6) at Lingfield 1m hcp fll (4) pol in May.
Welsh Gem 10-1 (9-4) Held up in rear, under pressure halfway, never dangerous, 6th of 8, 8l behind Dilgura (9-5) at Salisbury 7f hcp fll (3) gs in May.
Hala Madrid 3-1 (8-10) Raced keenly, soon led, ridden and pressed 2f out, headed over 1f out, one pace and no chance with winner, dropped to 3rd well inside final furlong, 3rd of 5, 2 3/4l behind Clotilde (9-2) at Windsor 1m hcp fll (3) gd in May.
Miss Inga Sock (IRE) 14-1 (9-3) In touch, headway over 2f out, led over 1f out, headed approaching final furlong, no extra, 7th of 14, 3 1/2l behind Eljaddaaf (9-5) at Kempton 7f hcp (6) pol in May.
Lulani (IRE) 7-2 (9-6) Led, headed over 2f out, ridden over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, 3rd of 7, 3/4l behind Berkeley Vale (9-7) at Nottingham 1m hcp (5) gs in Apr.
