Cafe Espresso^b⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson| OR: 83| D

2/9

Won her first two starts of this term at this venue (seller) and Kempton (1m4f, handicap) before being beaten in a match at Chelmsford last month. 80-1 chance but ran sound race in Listed company at Goodwood last week (1m2f, good); the one to beat.

Form: 29-1126

Hurricane Hero^v1¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 70

7/2

Eight-race maiden, ran well in a Southwell handicap (1m4f, AW) when second of six in April (first-time cheekpieces), though since beaten wide margins on turf at Musselburgh and in France. Visor tried, biggest threat to Cafe Espresso.

Form: 53-5230

(4)

On The Bob^h1⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Joey Haynes| T: P Butler| OR: 47

100/1

Has run poorly in three starts for this trainer, though two previous runs in Ireland weren't devoid of promise. Last of seven in 7f Brighton handicap on recent reappearance. All to prove.

Form: 7790-0

(3)

Enyama²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Probert| T: M J Attwater| OR: 50

33/1

Unplaced in five career starts on the AW, struggling this spring in two handicaps. Will need dramatic improvement on first turf run to take out this prize.

Form: 86505

Forecasts

Cafe Espresso (2/9), Hurricane Hero (7/2), Enyama (33/1), On The Bob (100/1)

Far from disgraced in Listed company a week ago at Goodwood, it would rank as a major shock should CAFE ESPRESSO fail to best these rivals. Hurricane Hero can give her a race on best form while both On The Bob and Enyama are likely to struggle.
