Rebel Surge^v1²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: R Spencer| OR: 80| D

7/2

Over a year since she won and yet only 2lb lower now. Handicap continues to fall after two unplaced efforts the last twice and a visor now added for the first time. Needs the headgear to make a difference based on form overall.

Form: 472346

Sayem²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: G Mosse| T: E Walker| OR: 80| D

7/4

Just had the three races this term but ran well despite being short of room at the crucial time latest over 1m at Goodwood. Handicap mark looks one she can be competitive off but drop back in trip probably not ideal.

Form: 934-085

La Isla Bonita^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: T P Queally| T: R Spencer| OR: 74| BF| D

9/1

Won three times over 7f at Yarmouth this season making all in two of them. Second back there latest under similar tactics another fair effort but 4lb rise today puts her on a career high mark. Seems to still be improving so not ruled out.

Highland Pass⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: William Cox⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 63

11/4

Back form latest when she fairly bolted up in a poor race at Salisbury. Handicapper taken few chances raising her 9lb but still 6lb below career high winning mark so that may not stop her and trainer in terrific form, the one to beat.

Form: 653431

Trulee Scrumptious^v³

Age: 9| Weight: 8-6| J: J Quinn| T: H Spiller| OR: 68| C

13/2

1m winner this season and also won at up to 1m2f in the past. Below par last twice so must bounce back but suggest she will struggle to go the pace here over this trip.

Forecasts

Sayem (7/4), Highland Pass (11/4), Rebel Surge (7/2), Trulee Scrumptious (13/2), La Isla Bonita (9/1), Dance Teacher (10/1), Clear Water (14/1)

HIGHLAND PASS bounced back to take advantage of a dramatically lower mark latest and she could be capable of more based on her form last season especially given the red-hot streak trainer Andrew Balding is on. Dance Teacher is a danger as is La Isla Bonita but both fillies like to front run so tactics will be very important and they must avoid a duel upfront.
