10/11
Winner of her sole start in France in a 1m4f contest at Lignieres (heavy) in April. Dam is a half-sister to a couple of useful individuals and she is one for the shortlist on her debut for this stable.
Shaped with promise when finishing fourth in a 1m6f bumper at Warwick (good-to-soft) on debut a month ago. Interesting to see how she fares today.
3
Horse silk
5/1
Unraced daughter of Arcadio purchased for €6,500 as a foal three years ago. Half-sister to the useful Caracci Apache and yard's newcomers demand the utmost respect.
Career best effort when finishing a good second in a 1m6f bumper at Warwick (good-to-soft) last time out. Stable are in good form at present (2/3) but likely needs to improve to figure in this contest.
5
Horse silk
20/1
Unraced Doyen filly bought for €8,500 as a store horse in June. Half-brother to a couple of decent winners but likely to prove better over further in time.
6
Horse silk
66/1
Unraced So You Think filly unsold at 1,5000 gns at the sales in July. Probably best watched with a tongue tie worn for the fist time on racecourse debut.
Unraced filly by Dink. Dam is a half-sister to a winning stayer in France and she is worth a check in the market for a leading stable on racecourse debut.

40/1
Finished behind a couple of today's rivals when sixth at Warwick (1m6f, good-to-soft) on debut earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.
9
Horse silk
66/1
Unraced Black Sam Bellamy filly out of an unraced half-sister to multiple winner My Shanandoah amongst others. Market support would be interesting on debut.
10
Horse silk
16/1
Not unfancied in the market prior to finishing a well beaten eighth on debut at Warwick (1m6f, good-to-soft) last month. Needs to step up on that if she's to figure in this contest.

Forecasts

Empreinte Reconce (10/11), Aimee De Sivola (5/1), Aweeminit (5/1), Cassis De Reine (10/1), Quimba (10/1), Wilde Spirit (16/1), Maebh (20/1), So Lonely (40/1), Suzie Staples (66/1), Nebuka (66/1)

Verdict

EMPREINTE RECONCE ran out the impressive winner of her debut in France in the spring and with that form having been boosted by the subsequent success of the runner-up she can make a winning UK debut in this concluding bumper. Trainer Fergal O'Brien's yard took this contest last season and his debutant Aweeminit can claim second here while Quimba who represents a leading stable can finish third.
  1. Empreinte Reconce
  2. Aweeminit
  3. Quimba
