Billesdon Bess⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: R Hannon| OR: 101| CD

10/1

Won three times last year including a win in this race and a Listed race at Salisbury but she's been below that level of form this year and looks in need of some relief from the handicapper, 15lb higher than last year's renewal.

Form: 115-649

Four White Socks³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: L M Cumani| OR: 97| CD

5/1

Eye-catching debut at Windsor and followed that up with an impressive C&D success in what looked like a decent fillies' event at the time. Not in the same form on AW on latest start in Group 3 company but she will appreciate the drop in class here.

Form: 215

Twenty Times^b¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 86| D

11/1

Got her head back in front at Windsor last time out with a game effort. Likely to try and set the pace here and while she's only up 2lb for her latest outing, she's likely to prove vulnerable to better handicapped types.

Form: 514-431

Magnolia Springs³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 93| CD

5/2

Gained her first win since debut in Listed class here in May. Perhaps found Group 3 company coming too soon at Newcastle last time but not dismissed back down in a handicap here off what should be a workable mark.

Form: 16-417

(2)

Glenys The Menace²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Josephine Gordon| T: J R Best| OR: 84| D

16/1

Won three times last year but her form tailed off towards the end of the campaign and she would like to see softer ground than this to be seen to better effect. Entitled to need the run on her seasonal return here.

Form: 100638-

Savaanah¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S De Sousa| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 90| D

4/1

Arrives here bidding for a four-timer, though didn't need to improve to win a match race at Salisbury last time out. Handicapper has bumped her up another 5lb for that win which seems harsh but she's clearly going the right way at present.

Form: 22-2111

(8)

Juneau¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 90| D

7/1

Has won three of her last five starts and struggled to follow up an impressive Epsom win under a penalty at Nottingham last time out. Effectively 1lb higher now and perhaps vulnerable to less exposed types.

Form: 012114

Musical Art^p1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: P & O Cole| OR: 90

20/1

Not won since her debut at Newbury. Not disgraced at Wolverhampton back in May but she struggled in more competitive company at Ascot last time and there's a suspicion she will need the first-time cheekpieces to spark improvement.

Form: 3670-30

(7)

Caravela¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M R Channon| OR: 81| D

11/1

Runner-up to Savaanah in a match race at Salisbury last time out, having previously won well at Newbury. Will struggle to reverse the form with that rival from the same handicap mark.

Form: 17-4312

Forecasts

Magnolia Springs (5/2), Savaanah (4/1), Four White Socks (5/1), Juneau (7/1), Billesdon Bess (10/1), Caravela (11/1), Twenty Times (11/1), Fabulous Red (12/1), Glenys The Menace (16/1), Musical Art (20/1)

FOUR WHITE SOCKS was impressive over course and distance two starts back and while she was a shade disappointing in a Group 3 at Newcastle, she ought to be making her presence felt back down in class on turf and her course form counts for plenty here. Savaanah is an obvious danger in her four-timer bid while Magnolia Springs is still lightly raced and should appreciate a return to Goodwood.
