Appointed¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 85| D

5/1

Inconsistent performer who ran below par on her third run back. Makes AW debut off very competitive mark now she's dropped a further 2lb but others preferred at present.

Form: 360-634

Stoney Broke²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 84| BF| C

3/1

Looked as though she'd come on for the run when second behind a clear winner on seasonal reappearance. Was popular in the betting but the race wasn't run to suit and should be in the mix again providing a stronger tempo.

Form: 15235-2

Copper Baked³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

10/1

Won on AW in France and produced a surprise on debut for this stable when winning at Wolverhampton. Below that on soft ground since but not without hope she could be more competitive back on this surface.

Form: 2120-15

Light Of Joy¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: D R Lanigan| OR: 82| D

2/1

Took a step forward with a stylish success in a competitive race on turf on reappearance. 4lb rise unlikely to be a problem with further progress to come and she should be on the pace and a leading contender.

Form: 24493-1

Belisa³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: D Nolan| T: I Furtado| OR: 79| C| D

3/1

Progressive filly who took another big step forwards with a wide margin win on heavy ground on reappearance. Won over a mile here and looks versatile regarding ground. Up 11lb but could still be ahead of the handicapper.

Form: 0/0121-1

Maulesden May²⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: G Lee| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 73| D

28/1

Back to last winning mark but two runs back this year remain below that standard. Stable quiet at present and may need further relief from the handicapper or a return to Ayr.

Form: 1168-34

Forecasts

Light Of Joy (2/1), Belisa (3/1), Stoney Broke (3/1), Appointed (5/1), Copper Baked (10/1), Maulesden May (28/1)

Belisa will be popular after an easy win on reappearance and while she takes a big step up in the weights on what was a moderate handicap on paper, the nature of the success suggests there's lots to come for a shrewd trainer. LIGHT OF JOY is also progressing and gets a narrow verdict after a nice win also on her first run back in what looked a competitive race in this grade. Stoney Broke needs a stronger temp than her reappearance and is another contender in a small field.
