Silca Mistress¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 79| C| D

15/8

Landed third win this year when scoring here over 6f last time out. Stayed on well that day and off 2lb higher mark remains competitive in this grade for in-form jockey-trainer combination

Form: 142271

Curious Fox¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: A Carson| OR: 73| C

6/1

All seven wins have come over 6f, but has run with credit at this trip in the past and came home well last time suggesting she is worth another try over 7f.

Form: 341723

Porto Ferro¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: J J Bridger| OR: 72| C

20/1

Better on turf and is only 1-16 on artificial surfaces. Trip is a concern too as she has yet to score beyond 6f so on balance looks to have something to prove on this occasion.

Form: 158580

Angel Islington²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Watson| T: A M Balding| OR: 71

10/1

Showed promise in four runs last term as a juvenile and has clearly had training issues since. Absent 15 months prior to fading over a furlong out at Kempton last month. Should strip fitter though and represnts top yard.

Form: 5423-9

Make Magic²²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: George Bass⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Simcock| OR: 70| D

25/1

Landed Chelmsford 7f maiden in February but has had only one outing since, when soon brushed aside and distant four at Salisbury in April. Returns from seven month brak of 1lb lower mark. Market should indicate if she's fit and fancied.

Form: 5414

Wirral Girl⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

11/10

Won over 5f last year and hit form last time out when hacking up over 6f at Newcastle. Furlong further now but runs off same mark and may be hard to peg back if she stays.

Form: 326561

Forecasts

Wirral Girl (11/10), Silca Mistress (15/8), Curious Fox (6/1), Angel Islington (10/1), Porto Ferro (20/1), Make Magic (25/1)

Last time out winners WIRRAL GIRL and Silca Mistress both have good claims, but preference is for the former who receives 11lb. If she stays this new trip she may prove too good. It would not surprise to see Angel Islington improve on her recent comeback run and any market support would bolster her chance, while Curious Fox is another worthy of some consideration.
