Thriving²⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 89| D

11/8

Made all to record second success at Chepstow in July, and fine fourth of 14 on nursery bow at Newmarket. Excuses in listed company at Newbury since, and folly to dismiss given earlier promise.

Form: 21140

Cupboard Love³⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: R Ffrench| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84| D

14/1

Dual Haydock winner on fast ground, and possible to make excuses for a couple of dreadful efforts in nurseries given circumstances; capable of bouncing back, but risks are there for all to see.

Form: 314105

Feel Glorious⁴⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker| OR: 81| D

11/4

Didn't shape that badly on first two starts, but still sent off 125/1 when winning a 6f maiden at Goodwood last time. No fluke about that success, and form is proving solid, so she must be considered.

Form: 481

No More Regrets²⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Hannon| OR: 80

4/1

Cost current connections £130,000 in June, but only been able to match her previous form, and best judged on latest close fourth in a Leicester nursery from this mark. Vulnerable to less-exposed rivals.

Form: 034024

Cotubanama²⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-7| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 75| C

6/1

Winner on heavy ground here back in April, but she is a precocious type whose form levelled off a while ago, and she remains opposable on that basis.

Forecasts

Thriving (11/8), Muthhila (7/4), Feel Glorious (11/4), No More Regrets (4/1), Cotubanama (6/1), Sabai Sabai (6/1), Cupboard Love (14/1)

She sprung a massive shock at Glorious Goodwood, but there was no fluke about that win from FEEL GLORIOUS, and she can follow up from a fair opening mark. Top-weight Thriving is best not judged on her latest effort, and should bounce back to form here, so rates the chief danger, ahead of No More Regrets, who wasn't beaten far last time, but is beginning to look exposed.
