Devils Roc²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: C Hills| OR: 62| BF

11/4

Has run to a similar level in last three turf handicaps and didn't get the clearest of runs at Lingfield. Makes AW debut and a similar run should see her competitive again.

Form: 997226

Thegreyvtrain²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: M Harley| T: R Harris| OR: 61

14/1

Disappointing effort when upped to this trip in a seller, however hung right and switch back to this track, where she put up a career-best, could suit. Needs to improve though and prove she needs this far.

Form: 273825

Gregorian Girl²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 60

12/1

Gregorian filly who hasn't been fancied in the betting in three starts so far and well beaten on each occasion. Best watched on handicap debut.

Form: 908

Princess Florence¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: B Doyle| T: J Ryan| OR: 59

10/1

Had to be hard ridden to get to the front over this C&D and did a lot of work early. Open to improvement but concern she hung left on the bend and may be better suited going the other way round.

Form: 89457

Windy Guest⁵²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: G G Margarson| OR: 56

10/1

Only beaten one horse home in four races and was a distant last of 11 at Ascot last time. Hard to make a case for on handicap debut.

Form: 5970

Chitra⁶⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: R Winston| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 53

20/1

Ran with promise on debut and for a long way at Chester on her third start. The drop back to this trip should prove ideal and doesn't look on a bad handicap mark. Looks a major player.

Amazing Fox^b²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett| OR: 53

3/1

Hasn't lived up to 180,000 gns price-tag, however did show a lot of improvement on handicap debut when just worn down late on. Has to get across from high draw to lead on AW debut but rates a leading contender.

Form: 7572

Valley Belle^p1⁷⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Edward Greatrex| T: George Scott| OR: 53

7/1

Showed little in three starts for Ismail Mohammed and now makes stable, handicap and AW debut. Remains one to oppose until signs of improvement.

Form: 506

Rajman²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: L Morris| T: Tom Clover| OR: 49

5/1

Didn't quite see out the extra furlong when attempting to make all here on handicap debut but still stepped up well from his previous three runs. This trip should prove ideal and one of the more likely types.

Form: 8903

Eye Of The Water⁸²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-6| J: Liam Jones| T: R Harris| OR: 45

50/1

Lilbourne Lad colt who cost €7,000 as a yearling. No impression in three starts so far and will need to improve significantly to figure on handicap debut.

Form: 940

Forecasts

Devils Roc (11/4), Amazing Fox (3/1), Rajman (5/1), Valley Belle (7/1), Windy Guest (10/1), Princess Florence (10/1), Gregorian Girl (12/1), Thegreyvtrain (14/1), Chitra (20/1), Eye Of The Water (50/1)

There looks likely to be a fair bit of pace on with many of the front runners also drawn wide. Rajman and Amazing Fox are two of those and both were given fine rides on handicap debut and with the same jockeys booked should be competitive again. CHITRA ran on the pace last time but doesn't have to lead and hopefully can get across for a decent early position as she looks the best handicapped runner in the field with this drop in distance a key positive. Devils Roc should be in the mix based on three solid efforts so far since going handicapping.
