Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: C O'Donoghue| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 102

9/4

Just one win from nine starts so far, bur this Irish raider is an interesting contender having finished second in a Curragh Group 3 over the trip on similar ground this month.

Form: 25-4452

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Ted Durcan| T: C W Fairhurst| OR: 90

80/1

Dead-heated over 1m at Thirsk last month, out of sorts on most recent outing at Ripon however and tough task here jumping up in class to Listed level for the first time.

Form: 163139

High Hopes³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 99| D

8/1

Out of the money just twice in nine career starts (three wins), filly showed her aptitude for this level last time at Salisbury 1L when second behind Billesdon Bess. Handles cut in the ground and should have her say in the finish.

Form: 11-2172

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: R L Moore| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 94| BF| D

9/2

Filly has progressed in three runs this term, winning on return at Doncaster in May over this trip on heavy ground. Likely calls for career-best to win this.

Form: 641-132

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 85

66/1

Sole Flat win came in a maiden at Salisbury over 7f in 2014, has won over hurdles since, form on the level this year ensures she has plenty to find in this company.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 90

40/1

Progressive on the AW last winter, tailed off this month at Ascot over 1m on first start since January, entitled to have needed that run. De Sousa booked to partner now (won on sole previous ride).

Form: 131-387

Al Mayda^h1,t³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Harry Bentley| T: H Palmer| OR: 77| D

40/1

Cost €220,000 as a two-year-old, won a Windsor maiden in June and much too keen on handicap bow at Nottingham last month (1m2f, good to soft). Hood on now and could do better for yard going nicely.

Form: 33-15

Flood Warning¹²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: C G Cox| OR: 94| D

8/1

Has won three of five starts this year, most recently a Class 3 over this trip at Sandown in April. Again ran well at Newbury next time when second, returns from a 123-day layoff and must step up to win.

Form: 5-11612

Ouja²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 95

9/1

AW winner at Kempton last month (1m4f) and posted credible 5L fourth next time at York over same trip on good to soft in a Listed contest. Improving with each run, can come forward again and could grab place money.

Form: 0-6414

Titi Makfi²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 100| D

7/2

Progressive filly has nurtured the winning habit this year with five wins from eight starts and out of the money just once, excellent second in valuable handicap at York last time and merits crack at Listed level.

Form: 115212

Vintage Folly⁸⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: H Palmer| OR: 102

12/1

Winner on sole two-year-old start, she finished a fine second in the Musidora at York over this sort of trip in May on her return on softish ground. No-show in French Group 2 in July but could have a big say for yard with 24% strike rate recently.

Form: 1-20

Forecasts

Beautiful Morning (9/4), Titi Makfi (7/2), Indulged (9/2), High Hopes (8/1), Flood Warning (8/1), Ouja (9/1), Vintage Folly (12/1), Sagely (25/1), Al Mayda (40/1), Somethingthrilling (40/1), Jelly Monger (66/1), Florenza (80/1)

Jessica Harrington crosses the Irish Sea with Beautiful Morning who ran a fine race in Group 3 company at the Curragh recently and merits respect here as a result but there are plenty dangers lurking in this field. Musidora runner-up Vintage Folly would have an excellent chance if reproducing that run (since disappointed in France) and looks the pick of Hugo Palmer's duo, though Al Mayda surely has more to come. High Hopes is superbly consistent and capable of winning at this level but TITI MAKFI looks well worthy of a shot in this company on the back of an excellent second last time at York. Her trainer doesn't send many here but has a 15% strike rate over the previous 12 months and it might be enhanced now.
