Crowning Glory⁷⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98| D

11/1

Took a while to get going this season but was last seen winning a competitive Pontefract handicap (1m, good to firm) in July. Handles good ground, though wouldn't want any rain. Needs to improve again to win this.

Form: 26-8451

Indian Blessing⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 96

16/1

Has been competitive at Listed level on a few occasions this season, though has yet to add to her Newcastle (7f, AW) success from last year. Drops back in trip for this, but has a bit to find to get competitive from this mark.

Form: 1-33449

Shenanigans¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Dettori| T: R Varian| OR: 95| CD

10/3

Has been improving throughout the season and comes here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Goodwood and then here over C&D (both on good). Up in class and another 4lb rise to contend with but it would be a surprise if she does not go close.

Form: 1-36211

(10)

Soul Silver¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 91| D

16/1

Won over Newbury's straight mile in July, and is 5lb better off with Shenanigans for a 1¾L defeat by here over C&D last time. Has a chance of overturning that on the bare figures, but is exposed and may again have to give best.

Form: 5-71694

Dowayla³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 91| BF| D

13/2

Won a Class 4 Bath handicap (1m, good to firm) in July and has been competitive when upped a level since. This is a further step forward, so more is required, but she may not have stopped improving yet.

Form: 8-62123

Panova^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 90

8/1

Won a Newcastle maiden (6f, AW) this time last year and has been improving this term without further success. Goes into this 1lb better of with Shenanigans than when beaten 1¼L by her last time and should be in the shake-up.

Form: 254222

(3)

Seduce Me^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Joey Haynes| T: K R Burke| OR: 90| D

20/1

Put together a pair of decisive Class 4 handicap wins at Newbury (1m, soft) and Epsom (1m½f, good to soft) in the summer. Held from similar marks to today's since then, but is at her best she has each-way claims. Has won on good.

Form: 251134

Peach Melba⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 89| D

8/1

Rattled up a hat-trick over 7f-7½f when there was cut in the ground in the summer and has kept progressing in defeat in two of her three runs since. Further progress can't be ruled out, though concerning that her only flop was at this level.

Form: 111282

(11)

Jalela¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 88| C| D

12/1

Won a 7f maiden on this track in May (soft) and added a Class 4 handicap at Kempton (1m, AW) last month before being held after a 2lb rise last time. Can't rule out more progress, though will need it after a further upward nudge of 2lb.

Form: 221014

(7)

Daisy Bere^p²⁷⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 81| D

50/1

Reasonably consistent performer who returns to turf for the first time in almost a year and after a 10-month break from any racing. Yet to win when fresh and despite a 3lb drop she looks best watched on this occasion.

Form: 70451-6

(1)

Clearly¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 82| D

9/2

Made a significant improvement on her debut run to win a Kempton maiden (1m, AW) on her second start. Bettered that when a narrow third at Sandown (1m, good) on her handicap debut last time. Up 7lb, unexposed and interesting.

Form: 013

(8)

Lady Perignon²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-3| J: Raul Da Silva| T: A M Balding| OR: 77| D

12/1

Persistence paid off when, after five attempts, she added to last year's Ffos Las maiden win with a handicap success at Epsom (1m½f, good). Up 3lb and three grades here and needs a fair bit more if she is to follow-up.

Form: 12-9801

(13)

Favourite Royal²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J Fanning| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 79

20/1

Has scored over both 1m½f (AW) and 7f (Epsom, good to firm) this term, but a 3lb rise for the latter saw her well held last time. 1lb drop will help, but it would no surprise if she found a few too good at this level.

Forecasts

Shenanigans (10/3), Clearly (9/2), Dowayla (13/2), Peach Melba (8/1), Panova (8/1), Crowning Glory (11/1), Lady Perignon (12/1), Jalela (12/1), Indian Blessing (16/1), Soul Silver (16/1), Seduce Me (20/1), Favourite Royal (20/1), Daisy Bere (50/1)

Plenty of these will need to raise their game to win this, with the standout performer being SHENANIGANS, who is taken to confirm her superiority over Panova and Soul Silver. Clearly is unexposed and interesting, although Frankie Dettori also prefers the selection. Dowayla and Seduce Me are others of interest.
