Zeshov^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: M Harley| T: Rebecca Bastiman| OR: 77| D

7/2

Has won three of his last four in this grade and is ideally suited to a quicker surface. Took a keen hold in a much hotter race at Redcar when outbattled in the closing stages. Fairly treated that day but a 3lb rise takes him into choppier waters.

Blaze Of Hearts³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: D K Ivory| OR: 74| C

8/1

Had the run of the race when landing a poor race for this grade over 9f here in August. Beaten off his revised mark a month ago and plenty to prove.

Form: 3-56610

Wigan Warrior¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: D H Brown| OR: 76| D

16/1

Can blow the start and had a poor draw to that from last time. Has won his last two starts in this grade and well enough treated here. Would not want the ground to get any quicker.

Monaadhil¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: M P Tregoning| OR: 76| D

15/8

160,000 gns son of Dark Angel had little trouble in disposing of a poor lot at Leicester. Trainer thinks there is more to come on a quicker surface and there needs to be off this mark.

Vanity Queen²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani| OR: 75| BF| D

3/1

Proved her two runs on softer surfaces were all wrong when occupying third spot on tapeta debut. Failed to get much luck in running and a 1lb rise seems fair. This looks her trip and grade for now so she has an obvious chance.

Lady Lydia^p,t⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 71| C

40/1

Her two best efforts this term have come in this grade. Even allowing for the better class of race contested last time, she produced a tame effort and needs to bounce back.

Lunar Deity^t¹⁰²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-0| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁷⁾| T: S C Williams| OR: 68| CD

10/1

Well placed to exploit a lower turf mark during the summer including a 10L romp which duly attracted the wrath of the handicapper. Found life tougher of his revised mark on softer ground last time and may need this after three months off.

Forecasts

Monaadhil (15/8), Vanity Queen (3/1), Zeshov (7/2), Express Lady (6/1), Blaze Of Hearts (8/1), Lunar Deity (10/1), Wigan Warrior (16/1), Mitigate (20/1), Lady Lydia (40/1)

Monaadhil is a dark horse for this having beaten a modest lot on his sole start. At the likely odds he may be too much of a risk and VANITY QUEEN looks more reasonably treated as the grade, trip and ground look ideal. Zeshov, Wigan Warrior and Express Lady all boast reasonable claims in an open race to close proceedings.
