Counter Spirit²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Cameron Noble⁽⁵⁾| T: I Mohammed| OR: 75| C

5/2

Has proved highly progressive since switching to the AW with two wins and two placed efforts. She hit the line strongly over 7f here last time and there may be more to come over this trip.

Form: 723121

Agincourt²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| D

25/1

Failed to build on her Ripon success when tailed off over 1m2f at Ayr on handicap debut. Drop back in trip can help but plenty of progress required.

Form: 24718

Wind Storm¹⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: C Lee⁽³⁾| T: K R Burke| OR: 73

12/1

Showed plenty of promise in her first two starts for Ralph Beckett before not much going right at Chester. Interesting on handicap and stable debut following an absence and market will be a good guide.

Form: 227

Catoca²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: G Mosse| T: E Walker| OR: 73| D

5/2

Broke her maiden tag when winning over this trip at Kempton before disappointing over further. Could be competitive again back at this trip.

Plansina⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jamie Gormley⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 73| CD

8/1

Tailed off last time following latest success and looks high in the handicap now. Unbeaten in both starts over this C&D so if there is going to be further improvement then it will likely be here.

Form: 162310

Midnight Vixen⁴⁹⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: D M Simcock| OR: 65

28/1

Had progressed nicely in all three of her maidens but has been disappointing in both handicap runs and has plenty to prove now.

Form: 442/07-

Ce La Vie²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 65

16/1

Not managed to win since her debut at Carlisle in October 2016 and last two runs have been poor. Drop in trip will help but didn't impress on previous visit here.

Form: 765354

Private View^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 67

7/2

Exceed And Excel filly who ran her best race yet when an unlucky and fast-finishing second at Kempton. Looks to have plenty more to offer for leading stable.

Form: 4-5972

Corked⁸⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: A C Whillans| OR: 62WS

33/1

Has struggled in five starts since leaving Hugo Palmer. Returns from a break and wind surgery but likely best watched.

Form: 558745

Forecasts

Catoca (5/2), Counter Spirit (5/2), Private View (7/2), Plansina (8/1), Wind Storm (12/1), Ce La Vie (16/1), Agincourt (25/1), Midnight Vixen (28/1), Corked (33/1)

COUNTER SPIRIT is flying at present and improving with every run. It's unlikely her latest penalty will be enough to stop her over a distance only likely to suit. Private View rates a clear danger, having not got a clear run last time, before doing some eye-catching late work. Wind Storm is one to note in the betting for her new stable and a first try in handicap company.
