TEGARA landed the odds at Kempton in August and will likely be a short price again on her handicap debut. James Fanshawe’s filly is preferred to recent course winner Savannah Beau, who scored over 6f and is upped 3lb. Colourfilly has struggled since winning at Haydock back in May but Jacquotte Delahaye drops down a grade on only her second start of the year and could get involved. Anna Barkova was third in a maiden last time but was beaten in a handicap before that.
Jacquotte Delahaye 50-1 (8-13) Always towards rear, never a factor, 8th of 10, 3 1/4l behind Kalk Bay (9-2) at Newcastle 7f hcp (4) pol in Nov.
Tegara 8-13fav (9-0) Took keen hold, tracked leaders, smooth headway on outside 2f out, went 2nd over 1f out, pushed along to lead inside final furlong, shade comfortably and well in command towards finish, won at Kempton 7f mdn fll stks (5) pol in Aug beating Cinders (9-0) by 1 3/4l, 9 ran.
Savannah Beau 8-1 (8-13) Keen held up in rear, switched right over 1f out, ridden and ran on to lead close home, won at Newcastle 6f hcp (5) pol in Nov beating Dark Side Dream (9-3) by nk, 14 ran.
Colourfilly 4-1 (8-13) Held up and behind, headway on inside when not much room 1f out, soon ridden and kept on same pace, 5th of 9, 4l behind Shypen (9-6) at Wolverhampton 6f hcp fll (5) pol in Oct.
