1600m – Turf

1 Dubai Love Won the valuable UAE 1000 Guineas over this trip at Meydan in January. Has also won on a turf surface. An interesting contender.
2 Night Colours Favourite, she surged from the back to win a G2 on heavy ground over this distance at San Siro, Italy, last October. Ran modestly on her 2020 return.
3 Festive Star A smart two-year-old in 2019, outclassing her rivals in a 1500m Listed race at San Siro, Italy. Failed to handle heavy ground on her final start last season.
4 Wejdan Won on her debut at Newbury but flopped without any obvious reason in a Newmarket G3 in October. Should be happy over 1600m.
5 Separate Tried front-running and hold-up tactics during a busy 12 race two-year-old career. She’s won twice but may struggle against less exposed rivals.
6 Soffika Finished strongly when second in a Newmarket G3 last August. Not seen since but bred to thrive at this distance. Will be fancied here.
7 Graceful Magic Competed in some strong races in 2019 and won three times- over shorter distances and on fast ground. Outclassed in a G1 on her return.
8 Alabama Whitman Won a minor event on her third start but then two ambitious attempts in group company failed to pay off. Makes her 2020 return.
9 Huboor Beat 14 rivals in a Newmarket handicap in September but never threatened off a stiffer handicap mark on her 2020 return. Up in trip.
10 Al Rasmah She came from off the pace and, though never looking like winning that Haydock handicap over a similar distance this month, it was a good start to 2020.
11 Waliyak Started favourite for all three starts, last autumn. Second twice and then won easily at Wolverhampton, leading and quickening clear. No stamina issues.
12 Odyssey Girl Quite busy so far, including two wins. Close to victory in three all-weather starts this season. Consistent and now proven at this trip.
13 Declared Interest Bossed from the front – winning easily – when making her seasonal and handicap debut at Chelmsford last week. Stable in hot winning form.
14 Onassis Took her time to hit winning form last season, but posted a career best when landing a Newcastle all-weather handicap on her final start.
15 Mrs Upjohn Outclassed modest rivals at Lingfield in January but faded from first to last in Listed company last time. Debut on a turf surface here.
16 Kalsara Won a minor event at Kempton in a tight finish. Outclassed in second at Newbury on her final 2019 start but the winner is G1 class.
17 African Dream Likely favourite for a stable in great form. A strong challenge in a hot Newbury novices’ event last week only just failed. Progressive.
18 Tiritomba Best of her four starts the final one, at Kempton last November when a decent third of eleven over this trip.
