Barcalona¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: M Goldstein| T: C Gordon

8/1

Stepped up on her debut effort when finishing fourth over C&D on good-to-firm ground last time out. Interesting to see if she can repeat that effort today.

Form: 94

Cautorillo³⁷¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Aidan Coleman| T: Jamie Snowden

12/1

Well held when making her debut over this C&D on good ground in September last year. Absent since and probably best watched on this occasion.

Form: 6-

Dontdillydally^t1

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

6/4

Unraced daughter of Saint Des Saints and a half-sister to debut bumper winner Comte D'Anjou. Represents a leading stable today and an interesting runner with a tongue tie worn for her debut.

Form:

Malindi Bay¹⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: L Treadwell| T: H J Evans

3/1

Made a winning debut in a point-to-point at Largy (good-to-yielding) in April. Subsequently purchased for £25,000 by connections and worth a check in the market on her rules debut.

Form:

Miss Quoted¹²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: Kevin Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: J W Mullins

40/1

Beat just one rival home when finishing 11th in a bumper over 2m1f at Newton Abbot (good) at the end of last month. Others make more appeal in this contest.

Form: 0

Nicely Done^p1,t1⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: C O'Farrell| T: S Durack

9/2

Couple of promising efforts in bumpers so far more recently when 11L fourth of eight over an extended 2m at Stratford (good-to-soft) in July. Wears a tongue tie and cheekpieces for the first time today.

Form: 64

Now Voyager¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: Lizzie Kelly⁽³⁾| T: Nick Williams

14/1

An unlucky loser having been clear when falling in a point-to-point over 2m4f at Upcott Cross (good) on debut in that sphere in May. Hood worn on that occasion left off when disappointing on recent rules debut and probably best watched today.

Form: F7

Pardon Me

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: J McGrath| T: J W Mullins

18/1

Unraced daughter of Tobougg and a half-sister to the yards winner Miss Fortywinks. Worth a check in the market on her racecourse debut today.

Forecasts

Dontdillydally (6/4), Silk Run (11/4), Malindi Bay (3/1), Nicely Done (9/2), Barcalona (8/1), Cautorillo (12/1), Now Voyager (14/1), Pardon Me (18/1), Miss Quoted (40/1)

Breeding suggests that SILK RUN is likely to improve for the better ground forecast today and she can put her debut running at Perth behind her by taking this concluding bumper. The selection could finish only fifth on soft ground on that occasion but can put her experience to good use by defeating Dontdillydally who hails from the powerful Dan Skelton stable. Nicely Done is another with experience to her name and she can register her first placing by claiming third.
