Topology^v⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: J Tuite| OR: 55

15/8

20-race maiden has run well in last two starts on AW at Wolverhampton with a third and second (latest). Not run on turf this season but seems in good order so chances if as effective.

Form: 34-0832

Mime Dance^b1²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Darragh Keenan⁽⁷⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 55| D

28/1

Lingfield AW winner in February has showed precious little since. Now 1lb below that winning mark but need to see some encouragement before recommending him.

Form: 596690

Topmeup^b1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 53| BF| D

9/1

Second off this mark twice at Brighton (7f and 1m2f) before finding Newmarket contest tougher. Third in a seller back at Brighton latest was a shade disappointing as favourite. Blinkers fitted now to try and eek out more.

Safrani^t1¹⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 55WS

10/1

Lightly raced gelding was tailed off in lone start this campaign back in March. Had wind-surgery since and also wears a first-time tongue strap. Nothing in form to suggest but plenty of firsts so hopefully something makes a difference.

Form: 40-0

Foxrush Take Time^b1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Elliott| T: R C Guest| OR: 54

12/1

15-race maiden was third in a couple of turf races earlier in the season on soft ground before lesser efforts on AW last twice while turf ground been unsuitable. Well-treated on best form now and wears first-time blinkers.

Form: 5-43380

Pitch High²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Milly Naseb⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 48| D

12/1

Beaten some 31L into last over C&D when last seen on turf. AW form overall seems stronger so leap of faith required to get involved here.

Form: 564029

(12)

Master Poet^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 53

10/1

Relatively unexposed as a handicapper with this just his third start in the sphere and first on turf. Some promise in Chelmsford third but lesser effort latest. Fitted with first-time cheekpieces here but bit to find in them.

Form: 9-3739

Eternal Destiny¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J P Spencer| T: Rae Guest| OR: 52

10/1

Showed pace in three Novice events without seriously getting involved where it matters. Steps into this quite ordinary handicap now and jockey booking is signal of intentions. Intriguing contender.

Form: 655

Agent Of Fortune²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Quinn| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 52| CD

6/1

C&D winner two starts back almost overcame 4lb rise when second next up on the AW at Chelmsford. Gets a further 2lb here but seems on the up. Softer ground a complete unknown.

Form: 9-06412

Percy Toplis^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Liam Jones| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 46| C

14/1

1m winner here this term and knows his way around having had six races here this season alone. Fourth here last time out a fair effort and now only 1lb higher than last win so some hope.

Form: 555184

(7)

Slipalongtrevaskis^p¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Howling| OR: 45

33/1

Unplaced in nine career races. Managed a fourth of 14 at Lingfield on stable debut latest although he was beaten 9L. 1lb out of the handicap and makes little appeal.

Form: 876-684

(8)

India Jane^v1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 45

50/1

Unplaced in all five career races and last in four of them including latest start over 7f here. First-time visor probably fitted in hope more than expectation.

Form: 0-0069

(5)

Sunset Bounty^t1⁹²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 45

80/1

Unplaced in all eight starts and 50/1 or above in all of them. Had a break since remote ninth of 11 here when last seen. More head-gear added but hard to make any case for her.

Form: 90-9809

(15)

Elusive Show²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J Mitchell| T: J Butler| OR: 48

25/1

Showed little in three starts to date, all Novice contests. Some late progress in last start at Wolverhampton and starts out off low-weight in very moderate contest so better is expected.

Form: 997

(13)

Pam's Angel⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: George Wood| T: M Moubarak| OR: 45

16/1

Made little impression in first handicap here over 6f last time out and no encouragement in prior three races so hard to fancy.

Form: 0667

Forecasts

Topology (15/8), Agent Of Fortune (6/1), Topmeup (9/1), Eternal Destiny (10/1), Master Poet (10/1), Safrani (10/1), Pitch High (12/1), Foxrush Take Time (12/1), Percy Toplis (14/1), Pam's Angel (16/1), Elusive Show (25/1), Mime Dance (28/1), Slipalongtrevaskis (33/1), India Jane (50/1), Sunset Bounty (80/1)

This is a race that will take very little winning so AGENT OF FORTUNE ought to have a good chance with Christine Dunnett's filly in good order of late including when winning over C&D. Topology has been running as well as anything of late so he rates a big player now switched back to the turf. Eternal Destiny is very much unexposed in this her first handicap but the booking of Jamie Spencer catches the eye.
