Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁷⁾| T: W Greatrex| OR: 124

11/1

Looked like she was really on the up last season with wins at Exeter and Fontwell followed by a good second at Cheltenham. Yet to show same level this term in two runs but step up to 3m1f here may help.

Form: 2112-06

Jester Jet⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: R T Dunne| T: T Lacey| OR: 123

11/2

Much improved for this trainer and won her first three races for him. Won at up to 3m so return second over 2m5½f at Ascot was an excellent effort. Could yet be more to come and looks a leading contender.

Form: F11-132

10/3

Won on return to action at Chepstown when stepped up to 2m7½f. Always looked like she wanted a test so could have more to come over staying trips and 5lb rise not enough to rule her out.

Form: 3F529-1

Tambura¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Mr Zac Baker⁽⁵⁾| T: G C Maundrell| OR: 118| CD

9/2

Course and distance winner just over a year ago and 3lb lower now. Not disgraced on return at Chepstow last month when fourth and could well take advantage of this handy mark now fitter.

14/1

Won here first time out over 2m4½f before a good second over 2m at Lingfield latest. Never tried beyond 2m5½f and not looked like she necessary wanted to so has to be considered a doubtful stayer.

Form: 153-671

What A Diva^t¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 112

11/1

Won back to back race last winter before losing her way a little. Well beaten on seasonal reappearance at Exeter and for all she should strip fitter others make more compelling cases.

Form: 41150-8

Act Now^t²²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: N D Fehily| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 112| CD

9/2

Fairly bolted up over course and distance last February and won again to end season at Hereford. Faded in fifth on return at Ffos Las but two from two here and jockey booking significant so not ruled out.

Form: 01241-5

Marienstar⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Harry Skelton| T: N B King| OR: 112

6/1

Won a 2m Stratford seller in summer and found consistent level for new connections with placed efforts in her last three starts. Gradually stepping up in trip and seems to keep handling it. Can't rule her out.

Forecasts

Culture De Sivola (10/3), Act Now (9/2), Tambura (9/2), Jester Jet (11/2), Marienstar (6/1), Carnspindle (11/1), What A Diva (11/1), Ding Ding (14/1)

JESTER JET made rapid progress for her current yard last season and her eye-catching return at Ascot suggested she could be ready to further go forward this season. Culture De Sivola looks a leading player too, she always looked like she might need a real stamina test and so it proved last month at Chepstow. She could have more to some with a further step up in trip. There are a couple of course and distance winners in the lineup and both have chances but Act Now is preferred.
