Quicksilver²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Liam Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 60

7/1

Best performance to date came in a 5f Sandown maiden in September. Has run respectably in stronger events than this at Newcastle on last two starts, and drop to this level gives her every chance.

Quarto Cavallo¹⁷⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Charlie Bennett| T: A West| OR: 58

16/1

Hasn't built on initial promise shown at Goodwood in June, and while it's still early days with her, this opening mark looks stiff.

Form: 447-

(5)

Nananita⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Jones| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 57

9/4

In good form currently, finishing second twice over this trip, including over C&D before a luckless run at Wolverhampton on latest start. Should make a bold bid if getting the breaks this time.

Form: 305226-

(4)

Clevedon^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: George Downing| T: R Harris| OR: 54

33/1

Speedy sort who has place claims on pick of his form, but well held the last twice, doing too much in blinkers at Wolverhampton last time. Needs to be more tractable now.

Form: 094500-

Cherry Cola¹⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 52

7/1

Beaten in sellers on her last two starts, which exposes her limitations, but this contest isn't a great deal stronger, and she is not ruled out from a handy draw, albeit needing others to falter if she's to win.

Form: 5049-

Halle's Harbour^v²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Edward Greatrex| T: Paul George| OR: 51

7/2

Visored for the first time when good fourth in a 5f Wolverhampton novice last month. Faces an easier task back in handicap company and chances if repeating that effort.

Form: 845604-

(6)

Dotty Grand¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 51

6/1

Best effort to date when 3½L fourth of 14 in a 5f nursery at Ffos Las. May improve again after a break, but needs to if she's to defy her current mark.

Form: 0804-

(8)

Delagate The Lady¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 48

16/1

Maiden who has had more than her share of chances and ran badly at Lingfield on her latest start. Easy to oppose on that showing.

Form: 70580-

(10)

Zeebad^b²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: P W D'Arcy| OR: 46

10/1

Much improved when third in a 5f nursery at Southwell last time, and claims on that, but needs to show she can repeat that form away from fibresand.

Form: 80873-

(7)

Wye Bother^t²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

100/1

Established as being of little merit, and make no appeal after another poor effort at Southwell last time.

Form: 890006-

Forecasts

Nananita (9/4), Halle's Harbour (7/2), Dotty Grand (6/1), Cherry Cola (7/1), Quicksilver (7/1), Zeebad (10/1), Dreaming Of Love (12/1), Delagate The Lady (16/1), Quarto Cavallo (16/1), Not So Shy (16/1), Clevedon (33/1), Wye Bother (100/1)

This isn't a strong race of its type, and QUICKSILVER is taken to break her duck having run respectably in warmer races at Newcastle on her last two starts. Nananita is a reliable sort who could prove the main threat, with Halle's Harbour respected after an improved effort at Wolverhampton last time.
