Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: George Buckell⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 67

13/2

Seven race maiden and beaten just a head over 7f on soft ground here last month. Disappointing off this 1lb higher mark since but an interesting contender here.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Louis Steward| T: W Jarvis| OR: 67

22/1

Tawaafoq¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ted Durcan| T: M Quinn| OR: 66

7/1

Finished third of five in a maiden on debut for this yard at Leicester (soft) last month. Had just two starts in handicaps and worth a check in the market here.

Form: 48-4943

Inlawed²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Spencer| T: E Walker| OR: 64

11/2

Ran well when finishing third of 15 at Windsor (6f, good-to-firm) in May but held in three starts since including over further the last twice. Drop back in trip should suit.

Form: 47-3006

Flower Cup¹⁴

15/8

Made the frame the last twice including when a close third over C&D on good-to-firm last time out. Races off a 1lb higher mark here and a leading contender as she seeks a first success at the eighth time of asking today.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Murphy| OR: 59

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: C F Wall| OR: 57

7/2

Made a promising handicap debut when 2L second over 6f at Leicester (soft) at the end of July. Winner of that contest has gone in again since and a likely more to come following a 1lb rise.

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 45

33/1

Best effort so far came when runner-up over 5f on soft ground here last month. Well held on good ground at over C&D subsequently and others make more appeal here.

Flower Cup (15/8), Deciding Vote (7/2), Still Waiting (5/1), Inlawed (11/2), Gunmaker (13/2), Tawaafoq (7/1), Loveatfirstsight (8/1), Shelneverwalkalone (12/1), Spinnaker Bay (22/1), Lily Ash (25/1), Cool Echo (25/1), Verdi (28/1), Proud Kate (33/1), Tilsworth Lukey (50/1)

DECIDING VOTE ran well on soft ground over this trip on handicap debut and she can take this competitive looking three-year-old contest. The winner of that event has scored since and Chris Wall's filly is taken to get the better of Still Waiting who has run well here before and drops in trip today. Flower Cup has been running well recently and she is taken to repeat her third here last time out.
