Lucky Clover^p²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Dane O'Neill| T: M S Saunders| OR: 59| BF| CD

7/4

Twice a winner over this C&D and in this grade she had dropped below his last winning mark when victorious on her penultimate start. Almost matched that form when second last time out at Chepstow (may not have had the best track position) and should continue to run well off a slightly higher mark.

Form: 005712

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Lulu Stanford⁽⁵⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 57| C| D

3/1

A course winner earlier in the year over the extended 5f trip ending a long losing run he's hardly managed to match that form in his subsequent runs and looks an inconsistent sort.

Staffa¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Fran Berry| T: D J Coakley| OR: 54| D

7/1

Has just one win to her name so far and that came over 5f on the AW at Lingfield when she was suited by coming from off the pace in a strongly run race. Her two runs since have been nowhere near the standard she showed in her win and question marks remain about her here.

David's Beauty¹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: S Hitchcott| T: B P J Baugh| OR: 53| D

3/1

Has now had three recent runs below her last winning mark without showing that she is a winner waiting to happen. Looks a very inconsistent sort and although she drops in grade here she's shown no real signs of being in form of late.

Tally's Song^p⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: J Quinn| T: G Harris| OR: 45

13/2

An overall record of 0/20 hardly inspires confidence and her last few runs have shown very little and she's best watched here.

Form: 804485

Dramatic Voice¹⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle⁽³⁾| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 45

66/1

Showed very little for Paul Cole when she was under his care and after a long absence has shown even less for current yard and would be hard to recommend here.

Forecasts

Lucky Clover (7/4), Jaganory (3/1), David's Beauty (3/1), Ask The Guru (9/2), Tally's Song (13/2), Staffa (7/1), Double Spin (10/1), Mostashreqah (10/1), Secret Asset (16/1), Molly Jones (16/1), Dramatic Voice (66/1), Blackadder (66/1)

LUCKY CLOVER certainly makes plenty of appeal in this being in good form at the moment and having shown a liking for this track before. Ask the Guru is a solid type at this level if he gets the run of the race with plenty of the others struggling to show their form at the moment and it may pay to give Double Spin a chance here to fill the minor berth.
