Absolute Blast¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: I Jardine| OR: 98

4/6

Finished 13th of 17 in Group 1 race in France in 2015 and she clearly has ability. Course winner who bolted up last time at Kempton off a mark of 90 and form figures read 211 for this yard. 8lb rise not excessive for that win and she's probably destined for Listed/Group company so likely to prove hard to beat here.

Form: 112312

Summer Icon²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: G Lee| T: M R Channon| OR: 93

7/1

Put it all together to get her head in front last time at Lingfield but up 6lb for that and no certainty to back that up; may be a little better over 7f.

Form: 133973

Carolinae^h³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 85

4/1

Beaten favourite here last time and may just be struggling off this revised mark. Nearly always gives her running though and must hold a place chance.

Form: 132-117

Hawatif¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Mitch Godwin⁽⁵⁾| T: A Carson| OR: 82

20/1

Having just third start on the AW and likely to come on for stable debut at Lingfield last time. Has performed with credit on the AW on only other start and back down to last winning mark so hard to put a line through.

Form: 383-659

(5)

Gleaming Girl¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-6| J: Josephine Gordon| T: D M Simcock| OR: 80

15/2

Quickened well off a slow pace two starts back over C&D but she's an habitual slow starter and that ruined her chance last time. Hard to fancy if doing that again in this strong field.

Form: 5313-16

(2)

Lady Lydia¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 8-5| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: Martin Smith| OR: 78

33/1

Unplaced on last eight starts and changed yard twice recently. Gives the impression this trip stretches her and she's still 8lb higher than her last winning mark.

Form: 565190

ABSOLUTE BLAST is an exciting mare and she looks set for bigger and better things. She won easily off a mark of 90 last time in a good race and there's every chance her revised mark of 98 underestimates her. Carolinae is a reliable sort and can run into a place while Coillte Callin is probably better than what she showed last time and has some good course form to her name. 1. Absolute Blast 2. Carolinae 3. Coillte Cailin
