(1)

Dandy Flame⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75

9/4

Winner at odds of 200/1 at this course on his second start but hasn't really built on that and others look better handicapped.

Form: 3-11175

(2)

Party Tiger¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Garritty| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74

9/4

Ran okay at Kempton when last seen and winner of that race has come out and won again since. Stable are in flying form so shouldn't be ruled out.

Form: 04-2540

(3)

Monoshka⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Lewis Edmunds⁽⁷⁾| T: J G Given| OR: 74

9/2

Won a weak Newmarket maiden but has failed to build on that and looks like he needs relief from the handicapper.

Form: 48157-7

(7)

Shabeeh²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 71

13/2

Placed just once in six starts. Ran okay in a Chelmsford maiden three starts back but hasn't shown much since.

Form: 224469

(4)

Ode To Paris¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 67

10/1

Makes handicap debut but hasn't shown enough in three starts to date and has an absence to overcome.

Form: 668-48

(5)

Venetian Proposal^p³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: William Carson| T: Miss Z C Davison| OR: 60

50/1

Unplaced and 100/1 on all five starts to date. Showed improved form last time out but losing margin probably flatters her.

Form: 0904-68

(6)

Princess Way²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J F Egan| T: P D Evans| OR: 59

11/1

One win from 14 starts. Inconsistent performer and seems to be a filly who prefers the summer months but can't be ruled out.

Form: 8274-59

Weight: 9-9| Age: 3

T: D H Brown J: S M Levey

Forecasts

Dandy Flame (9/4), Party Tiger (9/4), Rapid Rise (4/1), Monoshka (9/2), Shabeeh (13/2), Ode To Paris (10/1), Princess Way (11/1), Venetian Proposal (50/1)

RAPID RISE narrowly gets the vote. He has shown a consistent level of form in all of his starts so far and has less question marks than most of these. Party Tiger represents a stable in fine form and his recent fourth has been franked by the winner going in again since. Dandy Flame has been well backed on several occasions without winning but looks capable of claiming a race at some stage. 1. Rapid Rise 2. Party Tiger 3. Dandy Flame
