Islay Mist^p,t⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 59

33/1

Had a busy campaign in 2018 but only managed to win a weak claimer at Beverley in September. Poor efforts in three starts since and the filly now has a good bit to prove.

Form: 55106-5

Red Skye Delight⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: K T O'Neill| T: L McJannet| OR: 58

12/1

Doubtful she ran according to plan last time but there was some promise in her prior starts and she is handicapped about right.

Form: 76-0

Global Acclamation^b³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Liam Keniry| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 57| D

6/1

A gelding operation, blinkers and a switch back to sprinting combined to positive effect last time. Could have been hit with more than this 3lb rise so has to go on the shortlist.

Form: 5780-71

(3)

Camachess⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Phil Dennis⁽³⁾| T: P J McBride| OR: 57| D

2/1

3lb lower than when denying a warm favourite at Newcastle last week. Did not go unbacked herself that day and same rider able to claim 3b

Form: 2695-71

(12)

Spirit Of Lucerne^p³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: P S McEntee| OR: 57

16/1

Gets a 6lb pull with Global Acclamation for 2¼L last time. That looks about right given how much that rival had in hand and she has fared less well in the draw here.

Form: 5-355

(2)

Deconso²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C N Kellett| OR: 56| CD

4/1

Both his victories this year have come under today's ride including a defeat of Eye Of The Water. Better drawn than last time and impossible to rule out

Form: 09-1717

(4)

Awa Bomba³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: R Kingscote| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56

9/2

Nearer last than first in three quick runs for David Brown in October, and opening mark looked stiff enough on his handicap debut. Well behind Deconso that day and a 3lb drop should not be enough.

Form: 989-0

(7)

Lysander Belle³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S W Kelly| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 54

40/1

Below-par since switching yards and her latest run, when last of eight, makes her impossible to fancy against in-form rivals.

Form: 6848-88

(11)

Not So Shy¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: E J Walsh| T: P D Evans| OR: 54

50/1

Nicely weighted with Deconso and Eye Of The Water on running here last month. However as a 14-race maiden it is hard to be confident she can take advantage, particularly after a dismal effort last time.

Form: 7-26539

(9)

Oxygenic³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: D O'Meara| OR: 52

20/1

Her two best handicap runs have come here. Noted running on strongly last time and the extra furlong would be expected to help.

Form: 8546-03

(10)

Gunnabedun^p1⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: J Fanning| T: I Jardine| OR: 51| BF

14/1

Backed down to 5/2 favourite at Newcastle but, as was the case on three prior starts there, he was made to look one-paced. Cheekpieces fitted now and connections have presumably come here hoping for a stronger gallop.

Form: 057-545

Forecasts

Camachess (2/1), Deconso (4/1), Eye Of The Water (4/1), Awa Bomba (9/2), Global Acclamation (6/1), Kodi Dream (6/1), Red Skye Delight (12/1), Gunnabedun (14/1), Spirit Of Lucerne (16/1), Oxygenic (20/1), Islay Mist (33/1), Lysander Belle (40/1), Not So Shy (50/1)

CAMACHESS carries some risk given her prior record, but this will take little winning and she is racing off a lower mark than when beating a supposed well-handicapped type last week. Oxygenic is to be feared if her last run can be trusted, but bigger threats may come from Deconso and Global Acclamation. The former has forged a good partnership with Hollie Doyle who is unbeaten on him whilst the latter appeared to have something to spare when scoring last time.
