Point Hope¹⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

12/1

Off the mark at Wolverhampton last time and steps up in trip here. The extra distance should suit her, though she does have a 7lb penalty to concede owing to that success.

Form: 31-

Contrive⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: R Varian

10/3

Looked like the type to improve for the run on debut at Newbury last time and steps up in trip here. Only sixth there but entitled to at least hit the frame now with the benefit of a run.

Form: 6

Dear Beloved^t1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan

7/1

Pivotal filly who cost 200,000gns as a 2yo. Tongue strap has been added for this debut and worth a check in the market given price/pedigree.

Fondest¹⁷¹

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

7/2

Has run okay without doing anything too impressive in two runs at Kempton so far, though the extra furlong here may be a help.

Form: 75-

Labrega¹⁷³

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

7/2

Ran much better than the form figure suggests at Kempton on debut last time as it was such a close finish, and on a different day she may even have won. This longer trip should suit and everything looks set for a big run.

Form: 6-

New Day Dawn

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe

7/1

Dawn Approach filly who cost 82,000gns as a yearling. A half-sister to a few classy individuals and no surprise to see her run well on debut.

Form:

(5)

Summer Angel

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby

33/1

Mastercraftsman filly who cost £55,000 as a yearling. Dam won at Listed level but others still appeal more on paper and yard is out of form.

Form:

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 15p in the pound

Forecasts

Contrive (10/3), Fondest (7/2), Labrega (7/2), Four White Socks (11/2), New Day Dawn (7/1), Dear Beloved (7/1), Point Hope (12/1), Summer Angel (33/1)

Point Hope needs respecting as a previous winner but won't find things easy under a penalty, and preference is for LABREGA. Hugo Palmer's representative ran much better than the form figure suggests son her debut at Kempton last year when sixth in a blanket finish, and with the step up in trip here likely to suit she can get off the mark at the second time of asking. New Day Dawn appeals most of the newcomers, and market support would be significant.
