Sunday Girl (SR 158) is the class leader in this field by 5 points over Encore and carries a favourable 9-2 — 3lb lighter than Encore despite superior ability. Her single run showing a third-place finish suggests she has already shown a competitive level of form, and Ed Walker (15% strike rate, 850 runners) is a capable handler of progressive fillies. The market has installed her as the clear 11/10 favourite, and at SR 158 in a Class 4 novice with only 5 runners, she is simply too good on paper to oppose without a concrete reason.
Each-way alternative: Encore.
Main danger: Encore — Encore (SR 153, 15/8) is a 4-year-old stepping up in class but carries the experience advantage over younger rivals and William Haggas (21% strike rate) rarely runs horses this short of peak fitness — a 343-day absence is a concern, but the trainer's record with returning horses is strong enough to make her the likeliest threat.
