Lord Murphy^t³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S J Cummins⁽³⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 58

4/1

Promising second over 1m at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) in a selling handicap on his return to turf a month ago. Interesting racing off a 1lb higher mark.

Form: 193762

Energia Flavio^p²⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Burns| T: P Morris| OR: 57| BF

6/1

Impressive 9L winner of a 7f claimer at Wolverhampton a month ago. Decent fifth over the same C&D subsequently and interesting to see how he fares returning to turf.

Form: 444015

Three C's^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 56| C

1/1

Pulled 7L clear of his rivals when winning over C&D on good-to-firm ground a week ago. Easy winner that day and one for the shortlist despite a 10lb rise in the weights.

Form: 0-94641

Plucky Dip¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Marco Ghiani⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 56| D

10/1

Well beaten last of 12 at Newmarket (7f, good-to-firm) last time out on his return from a break. More needed if he's to take this contest.

Form: 98-9750

Princess Way^v²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rhiain Ingram| T: Paul George| OR: 49

8/1

Twice a winner over this trip in the past and some fair efforts on the AW in the spring. Making her first turf appearance since October last year.

Ignight^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-13| J: Seamus Cronin| T: Mat Salaman| OR: 45

25/1

14 race maiden missed the whole of 2017 and finished well beaten on his return in a Ffos Las maiden last month on his first start since wind surgery. Others make more appeal.

Form: 76800/7

Kath's Boy⁹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Sophie Ralston| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45WS

16/1

Maiden after 17 starts and had wind surgery since finishing 38L eighth of nine over 7f at Brighton (good-to-soft) in May. Others hold stronger claims.

Form: 80-9758

Forecasts

Three C's (1/1), Lord Murphy (4/1), Stosur (4/1), Energia Flavio (6/1), Princess Way (8/1), Plucky Dip (10/1), Tifl (12/1), Kath's Boy (16/1), Ignight (25/1)

THREE C'S can defy a 10lb rise in the weights to follow up her victory over this C&D last week. The selection looked an improved performer that day and can get the better of Stosur who is making a return to turf following a good run on the AW recently while third can go the way of Lord Murphy who is dropping slightly in distance.
