Flora Tristan^h⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 65

16/1

Fair maiden on balance, but beginning to look regressive, and again below form when 3¾L fourth of 7 to Haveoneyerself at Yarmouth last time. Perhaps drop in class will spark her to life.

Form: 273844

(1)

Wicked Sea¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Seamus Cronin⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 65

8/1

Produced a career-best effort when easily winning a 1m apprentice handicap at Salisbury in June, but subsequent runs suggest she's rather flattered by that effort, and just a respectable third there on latest start.

Form: 217443

Indian Warrior²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jim Crowley| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65

14/1

Plenty of placed efforts, but he remains a maiden after 15 starts, and he was disappointing when 7L seventh of 8 to Wiff Waff at Yarmouth last time.

Form: 556327

Faithful Promise^b1¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 65| BF| D

10/1

Won twice last year for Mark Johnston, but regressive profile since, and while she ran respectably on debut for new yard at Leicester, she proved a disappointment when favourite there last time, Blinkers replace cheekpieces now.

Form: 598237

(5)

Nampara¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 65| D

5/1

Has improved since returning from a break in July, winning 6f handicaps at Lingfield and Newmarket. Disqualified after finishing second at Leicester last time, and likely to give another bold sight here.

Form: 46911D

Penwood⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J Tuite| OR: 65

10/1

Made the running when third to Sharp Style over 5f at Windsor in June, and ran respectably to be second to same rival at Thirsk last time. Opening mark stiff on balance, but latest run has worked out, so not dismissed out of hand.

Form: 632

(7)

Spot Lite³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Watson⁽³⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 63| D

8/1

Three wins this season include a brace at Bath, and back to form when third of 7 to Look Surprised at Salisbury last time. More exposed that most, but reliable, and excellent claimer booked.

Form: 131683

Lady Marigold^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 62| D

6/1

Narrow winner of a soft ground Bath median auction stakes in October, but hasn't achieved a great deal since wind surgery, and visor reached for after a below-par effort at Brighton last time when cheekpieces were tried.

Form: 045443

(3)

Chloellie¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: David Probert| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 60| CD

9/2

No star, but has gained three wins this season in AW handicaps at this trip, including two over C&D. Back to winning ways at Chelmsford last time, and a 3lb rise is not prohibitive.

Form: 120441

(2)

Queen Of Dreams^v1⁹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: L Morris| T: W J Knight| OR: 55| D

5/1

Poor form on early starts, but then sprung a shock when winning from out of the weights at Lingfield in May. Failed to convince with stamina over 7f next time, but form has worked out, and interesting after a break with a visor applied.

Form: 897-613

(9)

Free Talkin^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Liam Jones| T: M J Attwater| OR: 45

33/1

Established as a moderate performer at best, but did seem to run above herself when third to Cent Flying at Brighton last time, and not beaten far when fifth over 7f here in May. Place claims if she is on top of her game, but risky.

Forecasts

Chloellie (9/2), Nampara (5/1), Queen Of Dreams (5/1), Lady Marigold (6/1), Spot Lite (8/1), Wicked Sea (8/1), Faithful Promise (10/1), Penwood (10/1), Indian Warrior (14/1), Flora Tristan (16/1), Dolydaydream (20/1), Free Talkin (33/1)

CHLOELLIE is a veritable win machine in comparison with most of her rivals, and she looks capable of defying a small rise for a career-best effort at Chelmsford last time. Nampara went close to landing a hat-trick last time and is clearly thriving since coming back from a break last month. Spot Lite also knows how to win, and while her mark is stiff enough now, the presence of Jason Watson in the saddle gives her chances.
