Great Colaci¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: G Boanas| OR: 53| BF| CD

7/2

Disappointing over this C&D on first run back from hurdles but does have previous solid form here. Just touched off subsequently back on turf and although an infrequent winner, should go well again.

Form: 842362

Justice Pleasing^p⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: T Hamilton| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 53| CD

5/1

Just two wins from 33 starts, although both came over this C&D. Running well enough in defeat but questionable in a finish and others preferred for win purposes.

Form: 357344

Cookie Ring¹⁶²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-4| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁷⁾| T: L A Mullaney| OR: 52| D

33/1

Has run to a solid level in last four starts and goes well here. However probably needs some help from the handicapper to get back to winning ways.

Form: 1-92285

Summer Thunder¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: C F Wall| OR: 55

9/1

Went close a couple of times earlier this year for former trainer Paul Cole and really caught the eye when getting no run late on second start for new stable. Has been weak in a finish but entitled to be involved.

Form: 339604

Unnoticed^p⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Connor Murtagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 52| D

14/1

Sole win came in a maiden way back in 2014. Has run to a solid level on last three starts but kept on over further last time that suggested this drop in distance may not be ideal.

Form: 027534

Silk Mill Blue²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 50| CD

6/1

Broke through on start 20 over this C&D and now raised 4lb. Race fell apart late on and form looks questionable. Could be competitive but others preferred.

Form: 692761

Havana Star⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 53

7/1

Finally added to debut success when taking a Classified event on stable debut. Looks well treated at present and drop in trip shouldn't be an issue. Rates a main contender.

Ace Master^b³⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 9-1| J: Kevin Lundie⁽⁵⁾| T: S R Bowring| OR: 49| D

20/1

Veteran who is on a long losing run and way below his last winning mark. Tends to reserve his best for Southwell and others preferred on current form.

Form: 49-0497

(7)

Elysee Star^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 52

5/1

13-race maiden who was a close second to Silk Mill Blue here last time. Best two runs have now come over this C&D but this may prove tougher.

Form: 054592

Casey Banter³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 51| D

18/1

Improving type who won a selling handicap over this trip before just touched off over a mile. This trip looks ideal but touch more required in this company.

Form: 0-08213

(6)

Social Butterfly^h¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁷⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 51

16/1

Nine-race maiden who has shown some ability in three starts for new yard since leaving Ireland. Doesn't look an easy ride and progress needed to win this.

Form: 509553

Aberdonian⁴⁷³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: J P Sullivan| T: Suzzanne France| OR: 46

100/1

Six-race maiden and failed to get in the money for Jeremy Gask. Easy to overlook in this grade on stable debut.

Form: 660/856-

Angie B^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 45

50/1

Remains without a win after 16 starts and may have been flattered in her last two runs. Others look stronger candidates.

Forecasts

Great Colaci (7/2), Elysee Star (5/1), Justice Pleasing (5/1), Silk Mill Blue (6/1), Havana Star (7/1), Ferrier (8/1), Summer Thunder (9/1), Unnoticed (14/1), Social Butterfly (16/1), Casey Banter (18/1), Ace Master (20/1), Cookie Ring (33/1), Angie B (50/1), Aberdonian (100/1)

Two rivals from their last run could have plenty more to offer on their second starts for their respective new stables, however it could prove tough for Ferrier to reverse form with HAVANA STAR who looks well treated on these terms. Great Colaci and Summer Thunder aren't easy to win with but are respected and the latter was unlucky on her most recent run.
