25/1

Broke her maiden over 1m2f on the AW at LIngfield in April. Best run since came when runner-up over the same distance at Le Lion-D'Angers in June. Not as good since but some of her most notable efforts have come under this rider. Tries a new trip.

Colonial Classic¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 94

33/1

Form is very much in and out at present and her best does look good enough for this. Stable form has improved but still hard to see her finding the improvement necessary.

Form: 197-484

Daphne²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84| D

4/1

Earned the right for a tilt at this level when always just doing enough to land a Newbury handicap. This calls for more but she has always looked the type to improve with racing.

Form: 10621-1

Dubka³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 102| BF

9/2

Runner-up in two Group Threes this year but not as good on last two starts. Has plenty to find with Aljezeera on Park Hill form and her yard have had some setbacks lately.

Notice¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: M Harley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 85| C

16/1

Due to win a race this term based on some gallant efforts in defeat. 2-2 here but this will require a career best judged on BHA ratings.

Form: 332243

Pacharana³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani| OR: 94| C

4/1

7-17 record and unbeaten in two starts here. Gallant effort in trying to concede the winner 21lb in a valuable handicap at Doncaster last month and she deserves a crack at this.

Aljezeera³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Dettori| T: L M Cumani| OR: 102

15/8

Supported before the Park Hill and almost justified the support. Did not see out the trip as well as the winner and the fewer yards here are a benefit. The faster ground is another plus and she looks the one to beat.

Form: 1-332

Wingingit²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: W Buick| T: A M Balding| OR: 103

4/1

Earned her current lofty BHA rating by finishing mid-division in a Newbury Group Three on stable debut. No surprise to see her back up in trip for this and an obvious contender if she proves that mark is justified.

Forecasts

Aljezeera (15/8), Pacharana (4/1), Daphne (4/1), Wingingit (4/1), Dubka (9/2), Notice (16/1), Capricious Cantor (25/1), Colonial Classic (33/1)

ALJEZEERA holds Dubka on Park Hill form and she looks the one who will benefit most from the forecast underfoot conditions. Relatively unexposed the Frankel filly will be a warm order. Stable companion Pacharana and the Royal runner Daphne step up after good runs in handicaps. Both have something to find on form but have the potential to do just that. Wingingit is hard to fathom having run on past beaten horses on her yard debut. If the bare form can be trusted she is not to be ruled out and this is a more suitable trip.
