Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87| D

Six time winner on turf but held on the AW the last twice and looking for his first win on this surface today.

Form: 010070

Kodiline^v³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 86| D

6/1

Maiden winner on turf at Windsor (good-to-firm) as a juvenile but lightly raced this year. Fair effort when fifth over 5f at Kempton last time and return to 6f should suit.

Form: 34-6055

(10)

Super Julius^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 85

20/1

Victorious three times in a 15 race career including in first time cheekpieces at Wolverhampton over 5f in June. Has to put a disappointing effort at Chelmsford last time out behind him today.

Form: 411529

Shamsaya⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 83| D

7/1

Twice successful on turf as a two-year-old and ran well to finish third off a 3lb higher mark at Nottingham in July. Held twice since and making her debut on polytrack today.

Form: 07-7346

Gorgeous Noora¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani| OR: 83| D

11/4

Victorious in a maiden at Wolverhampton 12 months ago and best effort in three starts since came when beaten a short-head over the minimum distance at Chelmsford earlier this month. One for the shortlist on her return to this trip.

Form: 31-042

(3)

Medici Banchiere²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 83

5/1

Sole success came at Carlisle (good-to-firm) over 5f as a two-year-old. Disappointing in three starts since being gelded and handicap mark is falling as a result.

Form: 703647

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 83| D

100/1

Ran well in a Listed race at Newbury (6f, soft) in May but handicap mark suffered as a result and has been held in three starts since. Worth a check in the market today.

Forecasts

Gorgeous Noora (11/4), Rose Berry (9/2), Medici Banchiere (5/1), Short Work (11/2), Kodiline (6/1), Shamsaya (7/1), Sir Ottoman (12/1), Highland Acclaim (16/1), Super Julius (20/1), Diamond Lady (25/1), Just An Idea (100/1)

ROSE BERRY encountered trouble when finishing a decent fifth at Kempton last time out and she can register her fifth career victory in this competitive sprint handicap. With promising apprentice Nicola Currie on board once more she is taken to get the better of Kodiline who should appreciate this return to 6f having contested a 5f contest last time out while Short Work can claim third following a victory on turf at Catterick three weeks ago.
