Cheerfilly^p⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 85

12/1

Two wins from six starts on turf, both those wins coming at Leicester in July over 7f. Too keen at Newbury last time out tackling the mile, has a bit to prove back on AW.

Sunchisetagioo^h⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: M Botti| OR: 85

22/1

Exceed And Excel filly has been well fended off in two turf runs since arriving from Italy, may be working from an inflated mark at the moment and watching brief seems safest.

Form: 345

Song Maker^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Martin Lane| T: C Appleby| OR: 84

2/1

Godolphin filly won a maiden at Chester last month (1m2½f, heavy) before fine second dropped to a mile at Chelmsford. Up 2lb for that run but likely to have leading role over this slightly longer trip.

Form: 322-313

(10)

Alnasl^h²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: A Watson| OR: 81| CD

8/1

Has won three from four recently, including here over a longer trip in August. Easy winner of an Epsom handicap at this sort of trip and slapped with an 8lb hike for it, which looks certain to test her.

Lady Lydia^t¹⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 77| C

40/1

Is 3lb higher than when scoring over 7f here in March, credible run 10 days ago at Redcar (1m, good to soft) in a seller off 151-day layoff and not underestimated with booking of Luke Morris a plus.

Form: 519074

Ariena¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 78

5/1

One win from eight on turf, a 6f Chepstow maiden in July 2016. Some encouraging efforts in four runs over the summer with Newmarket third (7f, good to firm) boding nicely in context of this AW debut.

Form: 16-4537

(3)

Stosur^b¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 74

12/1

Fairly reliable mare this year, going close in all three AW runs, including 11 days ago when ½L second of 10 over the mile at Chelmsford. Up 2lb for that win, likely to throw her hat in the ring again.

Form: 232522

Rinaria^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Joey Haynes| T: K R Burke| OR: 74

20/1

Good effort on debut over C&D in March when close second, twice scored on turf since but comes here having run poorly back on AW over a mile at Newcastle 15 days ago.

Form: 424219

Millie's Kiss⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 69

10/1

Maiden winner over 7f at Lingfield in March, has run decent races over long trips on turf since and wasn't beaten far last time at Chelmsford over 1m2f back on AW. Is 3lb out of the handicap for this contest.

Forecasts

Song Maker (2/1), Ariena (5/1), Al Nafoorah (6/1), Alnasl (8/1), Millie's Kiss (10/1), Stosur (12/1), Cheerfilly (12/1), Rinaria (20/1), Sunchisetagioo (22/1), Lady Lydia (40/1)

Plenty of these can be given claims in what is set to be a competitive heat. Alnasl has been in super form lately with three wins from four starts, she looks sure to go well but has been bumped up 8lb on her previous Epsom success. Song Maker may improve again for the slightly longer trip and is respected along with Ariena, whose effort on grass at Newmarket two starts back would thrust her right into the mix for this. Stosur has run well in all three AW starts this year and the frontrunner has a good draw here but AL NAFOORAH went close on her only previous run here and has been improving all year on turf since, she can improve again over this longer trip and collect.
