With the form of her bumper debut fourth at Chepstow having worked out very well, PHILIPPA'S CHOICE is the selection ahead of Uttoxeter runner-up Diamonds Galore. Dramatic Encore could also be involved now she is taking on her own sex on her second rules start.[Ben Hutton]

Went close when 150-1 at Bangor (2m, good) in April 2023 and it will be interesting to see how she goes in the betting on this first run since, but it's a very hefty absence to defy.
Built upon November's debut sixth at Warwick (2m, good to soft) when runner-up at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; has leading claims on that latest form and is open to further improvement for top yard.
Point runner-up who was a 17l fourth of nine on last month's bumper debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft; 4-1); took on males in what looked a warm race that day and there's every chance she'll progress; chance.
Fair effort in sole point and likewise when 9l fourth at 20-1 on bumper debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in November; could do with settling better but the Chepstow form has worked out very well; a possible.
Improved form when 14l fifth at 66-1 at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) in November on her second start; bred to do better still but others have more substance to their claims.
Sent off at just 9-2 for her debut at Market Rasen (2m, soft) in November and it will be interesting to see if her backers return; however, she was tailed off and needs to be an entirely different proposition here.
Rare bumper runner for in-form, Flat-orientated yard; this half-sister to three winners is one to watch in the betting on her second start but she failed to settle or threaten on last month's debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft), when 28-1, and improvement is needed.
