Indigo Stamp¹⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-12| J: James Davies| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 84

100/1

Already looks exposed as very moderate and having pulled up in a couple of weak handicaps when last seen, can only be watched after a break today. No realistic chance.

Form: P660-PP

Rhythm Is A Dancer^t¹⁷³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls

1/8

Related to a couple of winner son the Flat and showed a bit of speed himself when winning with plenty in hand at Exeter in May. Not seen since but surely capable of better and with ground/trip fine, looks a big player here.

Form: 24-1

Foxtrot Juliet²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: David England| T: O Murphy

13/2

Looked all at sea at Market Rasen on hurdles debut but much better at Uttoxeter last time when given a more positive ride. Still looked green there, so improvement is likely, and if she can find some then a medal is up for grabs.

Form: 744-82

Milldean Silva^t⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Joshua Moore| T: J & S Best

16/1

Half-sister to the smart Rock The Casbah, and she herself has already shown ability by winning a bumper and then a respectable third over C&D on hurdles debut last time. Needs plenty more here but early days, and may go well on ground that suits.

Form: 5013

Forecasts

Rhythm Is A Dancer (1/8), Some Day Soon (5/2), Foxtrot Juliet (13/2), Milldean Silva (16/1), Indigo Stamp (100/1)

Four of the five can be given chances and there might not e a lot between them. RHYTHM IS A DANCER is just given the vote with improvement likely this season, and with conditions ideal, can come out on top. Foxtrot Juliet seemed happier with forcing tactics last time out and is likely to be the one to catch again. Milldean Silva might just come out best in the race for the bronze.
