FormscanBy Tom Weekes - SNELLEN's rating of 92 almost seems too good to be true, having won the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot last June. She was green on debut and again drifted left when scoring at Ascot and while disappointing in the Debutante Stakes in August, ran a solid race at Group 3 level last October. That form is strong as the winner subsequently finished fourth at Group 1 level, the runner-up finished second in a recent Guineas Trial while both the third and fifth-placed fillies each won recent Group races. Air Commander is race-fit and battled well to win at Dundalk recently. He too should better his rating but might struggle to beat the selection. Race-fit Marty The Party should also compete from his initial handicap 85 rating and easy ground would suit, while Cardinal Zin is proven in handicaps. Spanish Flame beat recent Cork winner Bremen at Tipperary last July but disappointed subsequently and has been gelded.
An extended handicap for three years old only that at entry have run two or more times under any Rules of Racing and are eligible for a handicap rating (100 = 9st 12lbs)
Penalties - (after calculation of the handicap) A winner shall carry 7lb extra for each race won.
