(1)

Teenage Gal¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 69

9/2

Looks more progressive than most of these following a career best last time. Best effort in 2017 came on a soft surface so has a lot going for her despite conceding weight to all.

Form: 02-4682

(5)

Lamb Chop⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: S Kirk| OR: 65

20/1

Seven-race maiden who slowly lost her way for previous trainer Rod Millman and showed no signs of an imminent revival when soundly beaten on stable debut/seasonal reappearance.

Form: 03308-8

(4)

Shovel It On⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 65| D

14/1

Has underperformed on his last three starts and conditions were favourable for his two runs this month. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 442704

(2)

Slipstream⁵^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: S De Sousa| T: M Appleby| OR: 59

8/11

Came good on his second start for this yard under a strong ride. Did not appear to have enough in hand to quash a 6lb penalty, but handles this ground and in better form than a lot of these.

Form: 8-77831

(3)

Papelaine¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: M Dwyer| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 60

10/1

Nicely bred filly with soft ground winners in the pedigree. Hard to fancy based on what she has done, but there can be no excuses if she fails to do better this time.

Form: 88770

(7)

Good Impression^b¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Rossa Ryan⁽³⁾| T: A Stronge| OR: 57

14/1

Out of form lately but the handicapper has given him a big chance. Has been running over much further but looks better equipped for this trip and should handle the ground.

Form: 245656

(6)

Madame Jo Jo^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: Sarah Hollinshead| OR: 50

7/1

16-race maiden who has been runner-up on her three previous runs over C&D. Disappointed on sole previous start on a soft surface.

Form: 323262

Forecasts

Slipstream (8/11), Teenage Gal (9/2), Madame Jo Jo (7/1), Papelaine (10/1), Shovel It On (14/1), Good Impression (14/1), Lamb Chop (20/1)

Slipstream will be a popular choice following his recent victory but a 6lb penalty demands more than he appeared to have in hand. TEENAGE GAL returned to form at Lingfield and has proven herself on a soft surface. She looks more progressive than the rest of this field although Papelaine may improve on this ground and Good Impression has dropped in trip with the handicapper giving him a helping hand.
