Akbar Shah¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Keniry| T: E Walker

33/1

Unraced home-bred gelded son of Oasis Dream and a half-brother to the stables winner Trilliant. Was well beaten into last on debut.

Dories Delight⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: S Kirk

50/1

Never figured when well beaten on debut and has to take a sizeable step forward on that effort

Embour²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon

3/1

Acclamation colt who cost €98,000 as a foal and was sold for £145,000 as a yearling. Returned from a lengthy absence when just failing to see it out over a furlong further. Lost a few places late on and this trip should prove ideal.

Form: 3-7

(8)

Juthoor

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas

7/1

Cost 250,000 gns as a yearling and a well bred son of Shamardal. Already gelded for debut and will need further in time. Market should prove informative.

Kaboobee²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T E Whelan| T: B Barr

150/1

Pastoral Pursuits gelding who was unfancied and well beaten on debut this month.

Form: 5

Lashabeeh¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: R Varian

2/1

Unseated on leaving the stalls on his second start so best judged on two good seconds either side. Good reappearance in decent contest on turf debut and holds every chance of going one better for his in-form stable.

Form: 2-U2

(7)

Gloweth

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Gary Mahon⁽⁵⁾| T: W S Kittow

50/1

Daughter of Pastoral Pursuits who has speed on both sides of pedigree. Tough ask on debut and best watched.

Mostly Green¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Carson| T: W S Kittow

50/1

Well beaten albeit in a strong contest on debut. Was too green to do herself justice and although open to improvement this looks another stiff task.

Form: 7

Praxedis²¹

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

5/2

Improved significantly from her sole start as a juvenile when a good second on her reappearance. Looked only likely to improve for the experience and the winner has been placed at Listed level since.

Form: 7-2

(14)

Queen Of Rome⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon

20/1

Unraced daughter of Holy Roman Emperor purchased for €110,000 as a yearling. Got caught wide on AW debut and should come on a lot for the run for leading stable who also run Embour.

Form: 6

(9)

Rose Hip

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Fran Berry| T: H Candy

11/1

Daughter of Acclamation and a half-sister to Nisser so plenty of speed in pedigree. Stablemate of Holding My Breath and potentially a likely type on debut. Worth a check in the market.

Form:

(6)

Star Girl

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans

20/1

Cost 20,000 gns as a yearling and a half-sister to sprint winners Neebras and Early Bird. Stable capable of readying a newcomer but having a quiet spell at present.

Form:

Stylish Grace²⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: J S Moore

150/1

Only beaten one rival in two starts at huge odds. Needs to improve out of sight.

Form: 00-

Holding My Breath

Weight: 9-0| Age: 3

T: H Candy J: Charles Bishop

Forecasts

Lashabeeh (2/1), Praxedis (5/2), Embour (3/1), Juthoor (7/1), Rose Hip (11/1), Star Girl (20/1), Queen Of Rome (20/1), Holding My Breath (20/1), Akbar Shah (33/1), Dories Delight (50/1), Mostly Green (50/1), Gloweth (50/1), Stylish Grace (150/1), Kaboobee (150/1)

A tricky race in which all the runners are open to obvious improvement and the market should be informative. Two runners stand out on form to date with Lashabeeh making a smart reappearance and PRAXEDIS having taken a major step forward on her seasonal debut in a race that has worked out well. This drop in trip should be ideal for Embour while Juthoor should be closely noted in the betting on his first start.
