Enchanted Linda¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| D

6/1

Improved on debut effort when winning 5f novice at Ffos Las by 1½L from Royal Dynasty last time, and better than bare result after being left poorly placed. Not underestimated for all this is a stiffer task.

Form: 61

Alotabottle²⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Nolan| T: D Carroll

12/1

Quite an expensive purchase, but has shown only minor promise in two starts to date, albeit looked after when beaten at Carlisle last time. One for handicaps after another spin.

Form: 49

(5)

Havana Bay

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Nathan Evans| T: Miss T Jackson

66/1

By Havana Gold out of a lightly raced maiden. Represents first juvenile runner for yard, and probably safe to look elsewhere.

Form:

(8)

Vee Man Ten

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: I Furtado

10/1

First foal of a modest maiden, and quite a cheap purchase as a yearling. Price rose to £45,000 at breeze-ups earlier this year, but still seems an unlikely winner on paper.

Abuja¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon

28/1

Related to several winners, but unfancied and tailed off on Salisbury debut recently, despite showing enough know-how to lead. That was a warm contest, but it takes a leap of faith to support her now.

Form: 0

(7)

Crazy Spin⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Sullivan| T: I Furtado

50/1

Epaulette filly who is a half-sister to winners over 6f and 7f. Always behind after a slow start on Chelmsford debut recently, and will need more time on that evidence.

Form: 9

(9)

Mixed Up Miss^h1

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: G Lee| T: B Smart

16/1

By Kodiac out of a winning half-sister to listed 1m winner Mixed Intention. Some appeal on pedigree, although fitting of hood for racecourse bow tempers confidence.

Form:

(4)

Queen Of Bradgate¹¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: I Furtado

66/1

Badly in need of experience when down the field on introduction at Wolverhampton recently, and quick return suggests she's being campaigned with handicaps in mind.

Form: 6

(1)

Sabai Sabai³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: K Stott| T: R M Beckett| OR: 76| BF

7/4

Improved on previous efforts when close fourth to Feel Glorious in a 6f Goodwood maiden last month, but proved a disappointment when well backed for nursery bow at Leicester. Probably worth another chance.

Form: 9449

(3)

Summer Blossom^b⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-11| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson| OR: 75| BF

5/4

Seemed to respond to a pair of cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, posting best effort to date, and probably did too much with blinkers fitted at Carlisle last time, where the ground was heavy. Should bounce back, and every chance here.

Forecasts

Summer Blossom (5/4), Sabai Sabai (7/4), Enchanted Linda (6/1), Vee Man Ten (10/1), Alotabottle (12/1), Up The Millers (14/1), Mixed Up Miss (16/1), Abuja (28/1), Crazy Spin (50/1), Queen Of Bradgate (66/1), Havana Bay (66/1)

SUMMER BLOSSOM and Sabai Sabai need to bounce back from lesser efforts, but they hold strong claims on the pick of their form, and the former had valid excuses on heavy ground at Carlisle. There are no such obvious reasons why Sabai Sabai disappointed in the face of market support for a Leicester nursery, but she's well drawn and has an easier task now. Enchanted Linda has to conceded weight to that pair, but she comes here off an impressive win in the circumstances at Ffos Las, and merits respect on that basis.
