12/1

Fair sixth over C&D on his return from a break earlier this month. Likely to have come on for that effort and interesting to see how he fares.

Navarra Princess^h1,t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: D E Cantillon| OR: 58| D

Master Poet¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jonathan Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 54

5/1

Promising third over 1m here on handicap debut just over two weeks ago. Shapes as if this drop to 7f will suit.

Form: 9-373

Fantastic Flyer⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Aled Beech⁽³⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 53

14/1

Well held in three outings in novice contests this spring and only marginally better form when seventh on handicap debut at Goodwood (5f, good) in May. Upped in trip on her return from a break.

Charlie Alpha^b1⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Sebastian Woods⁽³⁾| T: R Ingram| OR: 45

66/1

Struggled in four starts so far and beaten 37L at Lingfield (1m1f, good-to-firm) last month when returning from a break. Blinkers tried on handicap debut.

Agent Of Fortune¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 50| D

8/1

Broke her maiden at the ninth attempt in a Yarmouth (7f, good-to-firm) handicap last time out. Has to defy a 4lb rise in the weights if she's to follow up.

Form: 39-0641

Sandkissed^h²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 46

14/1

Finished runner-up the last twice including over 1m at Brighton (good-to-firm) a month ago. Interesting to see how she fares dropping in distance.

Form: 878-522

Forecasts

Navarra Princess (7/2), Master Poet (5/1), Stosur (7/1), Mezmaar (8/1), Agent Of Fortune (8/1), Jai Hanuman (8/1), Lucifugous (9/1), Jack Nevison (12/1), Shyarch (14/1), Sandkissed (14/1), Fantastic Flyer (14/1), Deftera Lad (33/1), Charlie Alpha (66/1)

SHYARCH put in his best effort this term when finishing runner-up here last time out and he can go one better by taking the opening race on the card. Recent winner Agent Of Fortune looks capable of taking second following a victory at Yarmouth last time while third can go the way of Navarra Princess who has a hood applied for the first time.
