Stewards Note: LA BREILLE: Following its run on 7/1/2023 it was reported that the horse was unsuited by the ground.

Probable S.P’s: 8-13 Ivetwiggedit (GB), 6-1 Sawpit Sienna (GB), 9-1 La Breille (FR), 14-1 Konigin Isabella (GER), Cirrus (GB), 40-1 Happy Returns (GB), 100-1 Time To Burn (IRE), 150-1 Tiger Print (GB)

IVETWIGGEDIT made it 2 from 2 in handicaps in facile fashion at Newcastle 13 days ago and still looks thrown-in from her reassessed mark, so the hat-trick beckons. Sawpit Sienna arrives in good heart and is the obvious one for the forecast.
