Tranquil Daze³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark⁽³⁾| T: D H Brown| OR: 60

7/4

Form so far has looked essentially modest although looked to take a step forward last time out in a Wolverhampton handicap over 6f. Connections do well here often with horses on their fibresand debut and respect is due for this one in a race where the market should be watched (was well backed last time out).

Form: 4-31344

Not Now Nadia¹⁰⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: M Dods| OR: 55

9/2

Five starts have so far failed to offer much encouragement with the last four starts all coming over 5f on turf. Makes AW/fibresand debut here back up in trip with cheekpieces retained from last time out.

Sheila's Return¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: J Balding| OR: 55

12/1

Shown very little so far and remains a maiden and now switches to a new surface on her second run for a new yard. Well held in a handicap at Newcastle last time out and more needed to make an impression, even in this lowly company.

Form: 424-859

Mesmeric Moment²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Joshua Bryan⁽⁷⁾| T: S A Harris| OR: 54

12/1

Won a seller for her former stable (David Evans) at Windsor in June but well held on all her starts since and showed very little on her last start over 5f.

Form: 88-4775

Luv U Always¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: I Jardine| OR: 53

11/4

Still a maiden after nine starts and beaten in a seller as a juvenile. Showed a little more on her last two starts though with a second in a maiden here over 5f being a creditable effort. Steps back up to 6f today and on the form of her last two starts would have a chance here if staying the extra furlong (well beaten on both starts over further than 5f).

Form: 43002-2

Harvest Ranger⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: E J Walsh⁽³⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 49

7/1

Very little impact in three maidens with one coming over 7f here. Now goes handicapping off a near basement mark but is by a sire with a very poor record on fibresand.

Red Shanghai⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: C Smith| OR: 45

66/1

Eight starts so far and hard to find anything positive in any of those performances; now rated 38.

Forecasts

Tranquil Daze (7/4), Luv U Always (11/4), Not Now Nadia (9/2), Harvest Ranger (7/1), Dulcina (8/1), Mimic's Memory (8/1), Sheila's Return (12/1), Mesmeric Moment (12/1), Red Shanghai (66/1)

The Irish raider, Dulcina despite her weak form, should be watched in the market in a race where there are few solid options. Luv U Always has looked to go far better of late but the step up in trip may well stretch her and TRANQUIL DAZE is given the vote. He’s yet to run on fibresand but connections usually know what is required on this surface and he gets the nod in a weak finale to the card. 1. Tranquil Daze 2. Dulcina 3. Luv U Always
