Canimar²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 70

20/1

Cost £40,000 as a yearling, showing a reasonable level of juvenile form; disappointing since switched to handicapping (with and without headgear); still plenty of time to come good but a watching brief advised.

Form: 647-07

(6)

Hesterya²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

9/2

Cost 260,000 gns as a yearling, but has came up well short of the mark so far, including when finishing ninth of ten on handicap debut at Salisbury (7f) last month.

Form: 0359

Gainsay¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 65| CD

2/1

Winner of three races since early April (all over 7f), including when taking a Class 6 handicap at Lingfield in June; up a further 5lb in a more competitive race, but no problems whatsoever with this track (C&D winner).

Form: 0-14151

Secret Eye^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: P & O Cole| OR: 65

12/1

Back from a winter break with a fair first turf effort at Lingfield last month (third); beaten just shy of 4L by Dragon Moon. Remains unexposed up 1f in trip for handicap debut.

Form: 06-3

Kachumba²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: Rae Guest| OR: 65| CD

7/2

Won her first two starts on turf in May (including over C&D), only climbing a trace amount in the weights; not quite so sharp more latterly, but equally not totally disgraced; couldn't be dismissed at a track which she handles.

Form: 571153

Episcia^h,t⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Edward Greatrex| T: S C Williams| OR: 65

16/1

Showed ability as a juvenile, gaining course experience when runner-up here in September 2017 (5.5f); not kicked on this year (with headgear tried and retained); placed in a seller latest so undoubtedly needs more tonight.

Form: 210-003

(2)

Topmeup^v⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: J F Egan| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 52| D

5/1

Had plenty of racing for her age, but is a three-time winner (7f-1m). Beaten ¾L by course specialist Roy Rocket over 1m2f here latest and now drops back to 7f for the first time since winning at Leicester in October 2017.

Form: 786842

Born To Boogie⁷^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 45| C

10/1

Made it 14th time lucky when winning over 6f here last week, and is turned out quickly under a 6lb penalty - with a different rider booked; might prove ideally suited by this extra furlong as she regularly does her best work late in her races.

Form: 7-77451

Forecasts

Gainsay (2/1), Kachumba (7/2), Hesterya (9/2), Topmeup (5/1), Born To Boogie (10/1), Secret Eye (12/1), Episcia (16/1), Canimar (20/1)

Plenty of course form with which to take a view, with Gainsay, Kachumba and Born To Boggie all having visited the winners enclosure at this track in 2018. Of that trio, the last named is preferred with this extra furlong looking likely to suit. However, there are also others to consider in an open looking race, and the Paul Cole-trained SECRET EYE remains unexposed. She makes her handicap debut tonight (partnered by Luke Morris), and should strip fitter for her comeback run at Lingfield last month.
