20/1

Winner of 14 races, but has not been seen to best effect on the AW and turf this year. The handicapper is relenting, but she needs to show more to be worthy of consideration.

Bobby Jean^t²¹

9/5

Irish raider who ran a fine race to be fourth of 23 over 7f at the Curragh before finding 1m6f much too far at Gowran Park last time. One to consider back to a more suitable distance.

Form: 680-940

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 56

2/1

Making her debut on turf when pleasing second of 14, beaten 4L, in a 1m handicap at Redcar at the start of this month. Has few miles on the clock and every chance that she could improve again.

Forecasts

Bobby Jean (9/5), Ivory Charm (2/1), Midnight Vixen (5/1), Eesha's Smile (6/1), Wall Of Sapphire (7/1), Lucky Violet (7/1), Chains Of Love (8/1), Forever A Lady (10/1), Alexandrakollontai (20/1), Opera Kiss (33/1)

Ivory Charm shaped well on her first run on turf and has scope for more improvement, but she may have to give best to EESHA'S SMILE, who ran well on debut for her trainer and should relish this drop in distance off her lower handicap mark. Lucky Violet, Chains Of Love and Midnight Vixen may fight it out for minor honours.
