11/4

Frankel filly, finished second in both maidens this term, latest at Kempton on the AW 18 days ago. Cheekpieces added here and can have her say.

Form: 65-22

Cape To Cuba⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Hamilton| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 79| BF

2/1

Runner-up in maidens at Doncaster and Nottingham earlier in the season, back off a midsummer break and sets the standard for the other quartet to aim at.

Form: 822

Caravela²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Fanning| T: M R Channon

11/8

Bit slowly away on second start at Pontefract last month, spotting all-the-way winner too much rope as she did. Closed up well to finish second and claims here if smarter away / building on that run.

Form: 32

(2)

Teomaria²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Garritty| T: K R Burke

12/1

Few lengths to find with Caravela on last month's Pontefract meeting, that was a step forward on the Redcar debut however and capable of further improvement.

Form: 55

Forecasts

Caravela (11/8), Cape To Cuba (2/1), Ambrosia (11/4), Teomaria (12/1), Small Mercy (33/1)

Cape To Cuba sets the standard on the form of her Doncaster debut and could have more to offer off a break having finished second again at Nottingham since. Frankel filly Ambrosia is also going the right way this term, occupying second spot on both starts and has fair claims. So, too, does CARAVELA who made up good ground after a sluggish beginning at Pontefract last time to finish second. With a more alert start, she can land this open contest.
