Rebel Assault²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 92

20/1

Won three times as a juvenile, but has cut little ice in three handicaps this season. Handicapper is relenting, but she may need a little more help in that department.

Form: 614-658

Hermosita²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 88| D

7/2

Winner over this trip at Redcar (good to firm) last month, with the second scoring since to further emphasise her promise. Makes handicap debut now and looks sure to play a big role.

Form: 1-31

Natural¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 86| D

14/1

Mainly kept good company but has come up just short of the mark in a couple of lower grade events lately. This looks tougher and the Kodiac filly will need to be at her very best.

Form: 027-722

(4)

Crossing The Line²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 86| D

8/1

Lightly-raced Cape Cross filly, didn't need to improve to take spoils in 7f Lingfield contest recently, may have to do so to open handicap account first time out.

Form: 160-21

(6)

Homeopathic¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 85| D

3/1

Filly won on debut over this trip at Kempton in September on the AW (form which worked out well) and she's run too pleasing races at Wolverhampton (1m½f) and Goodwood this season. Leading contender on handicap bow.

Form: 1-23

(5)

Clubbable¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85| D

6/1

Began the season with victory in York handicap (7f, good to firm) and run well enough in decent Epsom contest this month (7f, soft) from this mark. Not ruled out if handling artificial surface.

Form: 2261-17

(8)

Odyssa¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 82| BF

14/1

Winner over a mile at Newmarket last month, then beaten 3L in Goodwood contest on good to soft going off increased mark. Has a bit more to find back on AW from this perch.

Form: 312-415

Image⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Spencer| T: P J McBride| OR: 80| CD

20/1

C&D winner but has it all on to be adding to tally at this level seemingly, well held in lower grade at Kempton last week.

Form: 3-11375

Roman Spinner^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: David Egan⁽³⁾| T: Rae Guest| OR: 79| D

25/1

Good second at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) last time out, she's run consistently well to date but surely must improve to be winning this contest.

Form: 2213-22

Amandine²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Nicola Currie⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 76

3/1

Three runs last term for David Elsworth, showing ability on two occasions. Another solid effort on stable bow / reappearance at Redcar over 7f recently and is one to note going handicapping.

Form: 932-3

Forecasts

Amandine (3/1), Homeopathic (3/1), Hermosita (7/2), Clubbable (6/1), Tivoli (13/2), Crossing The Line (8/1), Odyssa (14/1), Natural (14/1), Image (20/1), Rebel Assault (20/1), Roman Spinner (25/1)

HERMOSITA has looked really promising in her three starts and comes here for a handicap bow on the back of a win at Redcar. There may be better things in store for her and she can oblige for Roger Varian. There is also a lot to enthuse about when it comes to Homeopathic and a big run from Ryan Moore's filly seems likely. Amandine (behind the selection last time), Tivoli and Clubbable can fight for the minors.
