Isabel De Urbina²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 99| D

5/1

Listed winner over this trip at Goodwood on reappearance, since run credibly in Group 3 fare at York over 1m6f (beaten 4L) and brings strong credentials here.

Form: 6248-14

(5)

Titi Makfi¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 99| D

6/1

Fruitful 2017 campaign yielded six wins from 10 starts. Yet to score this year but twice suffered narrow defeats (second) in Listed events at Goodwood (won by Isabel De Urbina) and Nottingham. Player again.

Form: 1-62032

Alwaysandforever³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: R L Moore| T: L M Cumani| OR: 94

1/1

Lightly-raced Teofilo filly, two wins from four starts including improved effort last time at Windsor over just shy of this trip. Worthy of a shot in this grade and should have more to offer.

Form: 2/1-31

(6)

Amuletum²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 75| D

14/1

Career-best when winning seven-runner handicap at Leicester last time over similar trip. More required to score in this company.

Form: 47-3221

Cribbs Causeway^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 97| D

8/1

Won a handicap off a mark of 90 at Newmarket (1m4f, good) back in October. Two cracking efforts in Listed/Group 3 company since (holds Isabel De Urbina on first of those) and a player once more if over recent Haydock flop.

Form: 1213-38

(7)

Jet Streaming^h,t¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: Ian Williams| OR: 91

33/1

Well beaten at Listed/Group 3 level so far this year, including when always in rear last time at Nottingham (1m2f, good) earlier in the month. Liable to come up short against a couple of these.

Form: 750-566

(4)

Wingingit³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: A M Balding| OR: 96| D

9/1

Twice beaten in Listed events this season, including when 4¼L sixth of nine behind Isabel De Urbina at Goodwood last month over this trip. Honest filly will give her running, but needs some of these rivals to have an off-day.

Form: 2268-65

Forecasts

Alwaysandforever (1/1), Isabel De Urbina (5/1), Titi Makfi (6/1), Cribbs Causeway (8/1), Wingingit (9/1), Amuletum (14/1), Jet Streaming (33/1)

It may prove wise to forgive CRIBBS CAUSEWAY a recent flop at Haydock in a Group 3, as the run was simply too bad to be true. She had been progressing nicely before that and can bounce back here. She holds Isabel De Urbina on previous running at York, though that rival should be first in line should the selection fail to fire. The consistent Titi Makfi should be on the premises while Alwaysandforever fully merits a tilt in this grade and isn't to be dismissed easily.
