Shadow's Girl²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: William Cox⁽⁷⁾| T: B J Llewellyn

100/1

Beaten wide margins in three national hunt bumpers so far, first time running below 2m. Hard to make a case for.

Beyond Recall^v²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani| OR: 70

11/2

Couple of rock-solid efforts at Lingfield and over this C&D last month to be third, doesn't have a lot to find to take out a race of this nature.

Form: 250733

(7)

Cape To Cuba¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood⁽³⁾| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 75| BF

5/2

Mostly running sound races in six starts thus far, notably over C&D in previous two attempts and has to hold serious claims meeting fillies' this time.

Form: 822423

Choose²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett

25/1

Sister to Convey and half-sister to several other winners including Stronghold and Hanseatic. Disappointing effort on debut at Chelmsford (1m2f) but didn't have much go right there and, given bloodline, no shock to see it left behind down in trip.

Form: 7

Delicate Kiss

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J J Bridger

66/1

Delegator filly is a half-sister to 7f/1m winner Whispered Kiss, makes debut and best watched unless market support arrives.

Form:

(5)

Love Me Again¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes| OR: 57

66/1

Has struggled lately in handicaps but has some half decent form in maidens prior to that over 1m/1m½f. Will have to improve on best efforts to score.

Form: 0-6570

(2)

Maid Of Rock⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Winston| T: M Murphy

100/1

Rock Of Gibraltar filly who fetched 16,500 gns as a two-year-old, easily brushed aside in two runs over C&D already and may eventually find her feet over middle distances.

Form: 00

(9)

Meccabah³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

10/11

Went close in mile maiden here in April on seasonal bow and has continued to show plenty ability on turf over the summer, best of her efforts set the standard for the others to take aim at despite drop in trip.

Form: 0-23254

(10)

Saharan Star²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L P Keniry| T: P R Chamings

66/1

Heavy defeat in C&D maiden in September and fared only marginally better at Windsor on turf next time when sent off 100/1 poke. Work to be done at the moment and watching brief would appear the safest option.

Form: 04

(11)

Sheila's Rock¹⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: D J Coakley

6/1

Promising start in a Windsor maiden in May over extended mile to be 3L third of 14, having been sent off a 50/1 outsider. Not seen since, worthy of some attention in the market to guide expectations.

Form: 3

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Meccabah (10/11), Cape To Cuba (5/2), Beyond Recall (11/2), Sheila's Rock (6/1), Choose (25/1), Peters Folly (33/1), Love Me Again (66/1), Saharan Star (66/1), Delicate Kiss (66/1), Shadow's Girl (100/1), Maid Of Rock (100/1)

MECCABAH sets the standard here on a succession of solid efforts on turf this summer. She also ran a really pleasing race over C&D on debut in April and has recently just been finding mile and a quarter to be a shade too far. This drop in trip should suit and, with no qualms on the AW, she's got a solid chance of opening her account. Cape To Cuba has also shaped well of late, including over C&D, and must be on the shortlist now meeting fillies' while Beyond Recall is the other one with noteworthy form in the book already and merits consideration. Choose will surely prove better than her debut run while Delicate Kiss could have something to say on debut.
