Sweet Pursuit¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Finley Marsh⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 80| D

5/2

Landed a hat-trick over 6f at Ffos Las in July/August, and unlucky not to win again there last time, finishing fast from too far back. Still on a fair mark, and claims assuming ground rides on easy side again.

Form: 521114

Porto Ferro¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 76| D

5/2

Gained second career win when coming good in decisive fashion at Windsor in May, and has remained in form, adding twice more to her tally. Had run of things when winning at that venue (5f) recently, and may be vulnerable off a career-high mark.

Belledesert^t1⁶¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: R Ffrench| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 73| DWS

16/1

Claims on form she showed when mid-field in listed contest at Bath in April, but patchy form since, and ran poorly at Newbury last time. Has since had wind surgery, and tongue tied for first time now, so could bounce back, but risky.

Curious Fox¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A Carson| OR: 70| D

7/2

Had a busy season, but seemed to improve when winning on firm ground at Lingfield in July. Not quite in same form twice since, and handicapper seems in charge for the time being.

Incentive^b1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-5| J: David Egan| T: W S Kittow| OR: 64| D

4/1

Sole success came in the mud at Ffos Las last August, and best effort this year when runner-up here in June. Below form after a break at former venue three weeks ago. Possible that first-time blinkers will help her, but others preferred.

Form: 10-3253

(6)

Chica De La Noche^p¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-2| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: S Dow| OR: 60| D

16/1

Now 6lb lower than when scoring over this trip at Salisbury last August, but she hasn't got any momentum to her form this year, and no real sign of a revival at Kempton on latest outing.

Form: 1U-0056

(7)

Dandilion^t²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A M Hales| OR: 60

20/1

Won three times over 5f in 2017, and best effort this year when third of 9 at Leicester last time. Not sure to build on that, nor to stay this longer trip, however.

Form: 129-553

Forecasts

Sweet Pursuit (5/2), Porto Ferro (5/2), Curious Fox (7/2), La Fortuna (7/2), Incentive (4/1), Chica De La Noche (16/1), Belledesert (16/1), Dandilion (20/1)

She may have done her winning at Ffos Las, but there's no real doubt about SWEET PURSUIT handling the track, and she looked as good as ever despite meeting defeat last time. La Fortuna looked on the way back at Windsor last time, and may give her most to do, especially as Porto Ferro is up another 4lb for a slightly fortuitous victory at the same venue two weeks ago.
