Kilbaha Lady¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 65| D

8/1

Consistent filly who was below-par last time over a shorter trip. Stable are rare visitors here and she will be thereabouts again if running to her usual standard.

Form: 541325

Crimson Skies¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 72

12/1

Has the pedigree of a miler and has shaped that way on her last two starts. Has done little to earn her current mark and best watched for now.

Form: 07-57

Geetanjali^p¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Jacob Mitchell⁽⁷⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 72| D

15/2

Landed a gamble at Bath when getting a strong ride from the champion jockey. Denied by an improving rival last time and should find this easier. Young rider is looking for his second winner.

Form: 254212

Sageness¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: A Kirby| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 66| D

12/1

Had three subsequent winners behind when making all at Beverley but she missed the break next time and was tailed off. Looks the most likely pace angle in this and could easily bounce back.

Fresh Terms⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 66| BF

6/4

Her Doncaster third to Maid Up looks strong in this grade given the subsequent exploits of the winner, second, fourth, fifth and sixth. Being out of a classy sprinter it is likely she found 1m4f too far at Yarmouth.

Form: 6-3532

(2)

Camomile Lawn¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 66| BF| D

15/8

Scored over this trip at Yarmouth but then failed to fulfil expectations over 1m4f when the ground was possibly too quick. Did best of those who were held up last time in a messy race at Sandown and so needs Sageness to set some decent fractions.

Form: 80-3133

(6)

Bob's Girl^b1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-1| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 45

50/1

Has failed to hit the frame in eight attempts, five of them for this trainer after leaving David Simcock's yard. Impossible to make a case for. Blinkers on for first time.

Form: 7-88766

Forecasts

Fresh Terms (6/4), Camomile Lawn (15/8), Geetanjali (15/2), Kilbaha Lady (8/1), Crimson Skies (12/1), Sageness (12/1), Bob's Girl (50/1)

Kilbaha Lady and Camomile Lawn are fairly weighted and consistent enough to have every chance in this company. Geetanjali and Crimson Skies are less well-handicapped, whilst Sageness won a race at Beverley that has worked out well and earned her a 7lb rise. She failed to give her running after missing the break last time and could be a different proposition here. FRESH TERMS finished third at Doncaster and she is the only of the first six home not to win since. Ralph Beckett's well-bred filly remains on the same mark and probably found the trip too far last time.
