Bella's Venture¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: F Sweeney| T: J Gallagher| OR: 56

8/1

Still a maiden after eight Flat runs and now back in maiden company after five runs in handicaps showing very little on her last start in that sphere. This isn't the strongest race but she does look rather ordinary and others are preferred.

Form: 28-5346

Oddsocks¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: William Carson| T: A W Carroll| OR: 36

100/1

Really hasn't shown that much in any of her starts be they maidens or handicaps and would be a shock winner here.

Form: 68-6088

(8)

I'm A Believer

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon

4/1

By Sixties Icon she's a sister to a winner over further than this in Da Do Run Run with the dam a maiden. Pedigree looks as though she should need a little further but well worth a look at in the market.

Kalani Rose^p1⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: B De Haan| OR: 54

14/1

One of two from this stable her form so far has only been modest with a fourth at Goodwood her best performance so far. Well below form last time out and much more needed here even at a modest level.

Form: 947

Kath's Legend^h1³²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Ryan Tate| T: B De Haan

20/1

Her sole outing so far saw her attain a mediocre level of form looking likely to benefit from the experience over 6f on the AW. Hood now goes on for the first time and she can probably build on that run for a place chance here.

Form: 8-

Lady Morel¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Edward Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: J Tuite| OR: 55

15/2

Can hardly be called inexperienced as she' had nine tries at breaking her maiden already and remains vulnerable to an improver here. Did run her best race over C&D last time in a handicap and a repeat would give her a chance here.

Form: 0-48502

Mini Moruga

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: H Crouch⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore

12/1

Half-sister to a winner at up 1m1f with the dam a winner up to a 1m4f so this might be a little sharp for her. From a stable that do well with their runners here though and worth watching in the market.

Form:

(4)

No Damage

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater

50/1

Half-sister to 9f winner Monterey Jack with the dam a winner over a mile and a half sister to the smart winner at up 1m1f Needwood Blade. Stable don't have many winners of this type and could need the run here against one or two who could improve.

Ocean Temptress^v1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P J Dobbs| T: J Ryan| OR: 57

3/1

The first-time blinkers last time at Yarmouth appeared to enhance her effort over 7f but it was only a selling handicap she was second in. Clearly not one to go overboard about with the headgear not certain to work this time around back in a maiden.

Form: 532562

(3)

The Bear Can Fly²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Shepherd⁽³⁾| T: D Menuisier

5/2

From a yard that have found their feet now and this one showed improvement last time out from her debut. She still looked a little rough around the edges but handled the ground (soft) well and is open to more progress here.

Form: 42

Forecasts

The Bear Can Fly (5/2), Ocean Temptress (3/1), I'm A Believer (4/1), Lady Morel (15/2), Bella's Venture (8/1), Mini Moruga (12/1), Kalani Rose (14/1), Kath's Legend (20/1), No Damage (50/1), Oddsocks (100/1)

This looks fairly open but THE BEAR CAN FLY looks the one with real improvement left in her after a couple of outings and any softening of the ground shouldn’t worry her. There’s no guarantee that the headgear will work as well last time on Ocean Temptress and it may pay to give the debutante I’m A Believer a glance in the market. Lady Morel would be of interest if repeating her course form from her last run while Bella’s Venture can’t be totally written off.
