Foxy Feelin^h¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw

80/1

Hood on for belated debut and failed to beat a rival home when tailed off at Chelmsford over 7f. Impossible to fancy on that evidence.

Form: 9

(10)

Crash Helmet

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: George Scott

7/2

Already gelded son of Helmet who cost £32,000 as a yearling. Dam won over 5f as a two-year-old so plenty like on paper. Market will be a good guide.

Elusive Show¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tim Clark⁽³⁾| T: J Butler

22/1

Big prices and tailed off on both starts so far. Very much the type for this yard that will be more suited to handicaps further down the line.

Form: 99

Luckie George

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Aaron Jones⁽³⁾| T: Frank Bishop

100/1

Already gelded son of Mazameer who cost just £600. Yard yet to have a juvenile winner and that is unlikely to change here.

Nakhaytak¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: M Harley| T: D M Simcock

5/2

Intersting that the best of his three runs so far have come on soft ground. Makes AW debut today and would rate a danger if bouncing back to from of Doncaster second.

Form: 6-24

(7)

Nunnery Lane⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Harrison Shaw⁽⁵⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 40

14/1

Having been well beaten in two starts last year he really struggled on his return to action at Carlisle last week. Needs to do an awful lot more to be involved even if he is fitter for the run.

Form: 50-7

(9)

Bubbly

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: C Fellowes

11/4

Daughter of Excelebration who is related to several winners including the dam of the very smart sprinter Marsha who also raced in these colours. Dam is a half-sister to smart miler Soviet Song. Lots to like on paper and market check very much needed

Form:

(12)

Catlin⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M Stainton| T: N Kent

100/1

Massive prices and beaten a long way including here on two starts so far. Takes a big drop in trip but best watched for now.

Form: 90

(6)

Crimson Princess

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs N S Evans

100/1

Sayif filly. First foal, dam was a winner over 5f including on the AW. Yard are 0-25 in recent years with their juveniles and others are preferred.

Form:

(13)

Invisible Storm⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone

4/1

Ran well enough on debut here in April (66/1), but didn't step up on that effort next time over the same trip at Nottingham (6f), so plenty of others are much preferred as a result.

Form: 47

(11)

Mystical Moon²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: A Mullen| T: D C Griffiths

80/1

Failed to beat e a rival home in her two starts so far and is readily opposable here as a result.

Form: 87

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to board prices only - deduction 5p in the pound

Arabian Coast²⁸

Weight: 9-9| Age: 3

T: S bin Suroor J: Edward Greatrex

(3)

Resolution

Weight: 8-11| Age: 3

T: P S McEntee J: Rossa Ryan

Forecasts

Arabian Coast (6/4), Nakhaytak (5/2), Bubbly (11/4), Crash Helmet (7/2), Invisible Storm (4/1), Nunnery Lane (14/1), Resolution (20/1), Elusive Show (22/1), Mystical Moon (80/1), Foxy Feelin (80/1), Crimson Princess (100/1), Catlin (100/1), Luckie George (100/1)

This looks a fairly decent opportunity for ARABIAN COAST to get back to winning ways having found the Jersey too much at Royal Ascot last time. Of the newcomers Bubbly makes plenty of appeal on paper being so closely related to smart sprinter Marsha and Soviet Song. Money for her on debut may well be significant. Nakhaytak could run well if returning to the form of his second at Doncaster.
