Contrive¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jim Crowley| T: R Varian| OR: 83| CD

9/4

Progressive in winning two of her last three, starting with a maiden win over this C&D and latterly in this grade at Kempton. Only up 2lb and likely plenty more to come.

Form: 946121

Caring Touch^t1⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Gabriele Malune⁽⁵⁾| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 83| BF| D

4/1

Impressive on debut and while she failed to build on that in her next two starts, she took a nice step forward when a narrow second on handicap debut. Winner has franked the form in a higher grade and she looks a leading player.

Form: 1-652

Golden Iris^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: J G Portman| OR: 82| C| D

7/2

Winner here on debut and has been largely consistent on the AW since. Gained a second win at Kempton and then a close second to Contrive latest. Gets a 2lb pull and likely to go close.

Form: 422712

Ventura Blues^p¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 80| D

9/1

Remains 3lb higher than Kempton win last September and while generally running to a consistent level, has a bit to find to reverse form with Contrive from her latest run.

Form: 0-25974

Bint Dandy^b²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Josephine Gordon| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 80| C| D

25/1

Experienced mare who remains on a workable mark but needs to find plenty extra based on her latest three runs. Others preferred.

Form: 661540

Zoraya^h,t1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Raul Da Silva| T: P & O Cole| OR: 80

16/1

Remains 2lb higher than last of two turf wins and yet to impress on an AW surface. Well held on first run since wind surgery and others look stronger candidates.

Form: 223308

Autumn Leaves⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Theodore Ladd⁽⁵⁾| T: M Appleby| OR: 76

16/1

Failed to impress on AW debut and final start for Clive Cox and best watched in a competitive race on first run for new stable.

Form: 1-58158

Sweet Lady Rose¹³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 74

12/1

Showed ability in her second of three outings in novice company and open to improvement on first run since July. Can't be discounted on handicap debut.

Form: 6-25

(2)

Private View¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Jason Watson| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 69

6/1

Seven-race maiden but has run to a consistent level in her last three runs while continuing to blow the start. Close third to Contrive latest and gets a 3lb pull. Could go close with a better getaway.

Forecasts

Contrive (9/4), Golden Iris (7/2), Caring Touch (4/1), Private View (6/1), Sweet Nature (6/1), Ventura Blues (9/1), Sweet Lady Rose (12/1), Zoraya (16/1), Autumn Leaves (16/1), Bint Dandy (25/1)

Contrive is moving in the right direction and her latest win is a key piece of form with Golden Iris and Private View closely matched with her. The latter has the potential for big improvement when she gets her act together at the start and could well reverse the form. CARING TOUCH though is taken to build on the nice progress she showed on handicap debut and with the form working out well, she has a lot more to offer.
