8/11

Followed up an impressive victory in a competitive handicap by landing a Listed event in Germany. Best form has been over 1m but she won over 7f and has been placed on the AW. Work to do with Rajar on one piece of form but she has improved since.

5/1

Has landed three races in lower grade this term. Put up a good effort in a similar conditions race at Chelmsford when going down by ½L to a rival rated 21lb her superior. That shows she will be no pushover in this.

Winner of a Newcastle maiden but an official rating of 62 sets her a monumental task in this company.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Fran Berry| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

16/1

Landed a bad Kempton maiden over this trip in February and has mainly been sprinting since. Failed to handle cut last time but still has a lot of work to do at the weights.

Form: 226125

Rajar^h⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: D Tudhope| T: R A Fahey| OR: 92| BF

9/2

Well backed last week when switched to sprinting and lit up by another rival vying for the lead. Claims on her Musselburgh third in August when a short-head behind Peach Melba and conceding 8lb. That rival has made the greater improvement since

Form: 336362

Toy Theatre¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Appleby| OR: 70| CD

8/1

Arrives on a hat-trick following two low grade handicap successes but has a tough task against this calibre of opponent. On the plus side the jockey booking catches the eye and she likes the track.

Forecasts

Peach Melba (8/11), Rajar (9/2), Bumptious (5/1), Show Stealer (6/1), Toy Theatre (8/1), Pepita (16/1), Sexy Legs (100/1), Tael O' Gold (100/1)

PEACH MELBA has done nothing but improve this season and a hat-trick looks on the cards following her victories at Newmarket and Hanover. The drop to 7f is a slight concern but she is likely to have plenty of use made of her. Strictly on the book she faces a tough task in confirming August's Musselburgh placings with Rajar. However, she appears to have improved around 8lb since then whereas Richard Fahey's filly has been a stone below that level in her two subsequent starts. Bumptious has gone well in the face of a similarly stiff task this season and Show Stealer has shown enough to show she could repay each-way support.
