Medici Oro^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson⁽⁵⁾| T: D H Brown| OR: 60| CD

7/2

Returned a career-best last time out over C&D having the run of the race but showing a good attitude to fend off multiple challengers. Overall record looks much better on the AW than it does on turf and not overburdened with a 7lb rise.

Ventura Crest^p1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 60| BF

16/1

Yet to win a race but has run a couple of fair races of late finishing 2nd at Wetherby and getting back to form with a 3rd at Catterick. Ran poorly over 1m when last seen on the AW (both AW runs have been below-par); cheekpieces on first-time.

Chloellie²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 57

7/1

Already a dual 6f winner on the AW this will be her first try at 7f having comeback to form last time when doing best of those held up in a better race at Kempton. Mark looks fair and she should appreciate the drop in grade if handling the new trip.

Foxrush Take Time³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: M Harley| T: R C Guest| OR: 56

9/1

Consistent sort who has yet to win a race and appears to be in a battle with the handicapper. Kept busy as a two-year-old his runs this year haven't really given a huge hint that he can win a race even off this mark.

Form: 35-4338

Jazz Magic⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: Miss L C Siddall| OR: 55

8/1

Failed to progress on his handicap debut but did better dropped to a 0-55 on his second try in this sphere (supported) stepped up to 7f. Only made headway late on under pressure though and looks held even off this mark.

Javelin^b1¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: W R Muir| OR: 55

7/2

Tried over various trips in handicaps she ran creditably over a longer trip here last time off a 2lb higher mark (failed to quicken in the straight). Now brought back in trip and off a career-low mark in first-time blinkers; still more needed.

Elite Shadow^b1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 53

25/1

Already tried in cheekpieces and a visor the blinkers get a first-time try here although he hardly sparkled last time at Brighton over 7f. Started the year rated 70 but shows no sign of taking advantage of reduced mark and best watched.

Form: 600346

Strategic^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: E J Alston| OR: 53

8/1

Third to a well handicapped winner last time (forced the pace) with that one (sparked into life by blinkers; worn 2nd time). No guarantee that the headgear will work as well here (inconsistent type) and needs to settle better and do a little less.

Form: 785-003

Nikita^h²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Charlie Bennett⁽³⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 52| BF

9/1

Has caught the eye on both her handicap starts and wasn't as well placed as the three that beat her over C&D last time (Medici Oro; winner). Unable to land a blow last time that run and her pedigree suggest that she is capable of better.

Form: 6-9044

Magic Ship²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P Aspell| T: J R Norton| OR: 49

40/1

Found the trip (1m1f) too much here last time when amateur ridden on his first run for the stable. Hasn't shown an awful lot so far but there have been glimmers of promise and he may do better over his less exacting trip off a lowly mark.

Angie B^p²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

20/1

Most of her better runs have come in selling grade and that theme continued last time with a 4th in a selling handicap at Thirsk over 7f. No real reason why she should do any better here having run poorly on her only previous AW start.

The key race here looks to be the clash between Medici Oro and NIKITA over C&D last time which the former won and he should be able to get involved again here despite a 7lb rise. The latter though didn’t really get the run of the race and given the fact that she is far less experienced that the winner that day and has improvement to come she’s selected to reverse that finishing order. Chloellie is on a decent mark and drops in grade and she’ll be a danger is she stays this new trip while Strategic has a chance if he settles better in the blinkers this time around. Magic Ship is another who may do better now having shown some promise previously and now dropped to a more suitable trip.
