Sweet Charity³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D J Coakley| OR: 75| BF

4/1

3lb higher than when winning at Leicester (1m2f, good) in May 2018; beaten just over 1L (fourth) by tonight's rival Ashazuri at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) a month ago; 1lb better off.

Form: 4257-34

Ashazuri^h¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Nicola Currie| T: J G Portman| OR: 69

9/1

Came out strongest in a blanket finish on the downs at Brighton (1m2f, good to firm) last month, just over 1L in front of tonight's rival Sweet Charity (who is now 1lb better off); beaten on less suitable ground since.

Form: 5248-15

Dependable²⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Tom Marquand| T: C Hills| OR: 65

20/1

Failed to beat a single rival in her last two starts in 2018 (both over 1m4f); probable that a drop in trip will help, and is fairly unexposed in terms of handicapping; risky on seasonal reappearance nevertheless.

Form: 9/7575-

Perfect Showdance²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: C G Cox| OR: 76

16/1

Hasn't delivered in two previous attempts on turf (possibly unsuited by good to soft/soft ground); encouraging 50/1 1L second to Firebird Song on sole AW start at Wolverhampton (1m+); enters the reckoning on faster ground on handicap debut.

Form: 92-9

(5)

Hallalulu²⁷⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁷⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75

9/4

Won both of her 1m nursery starts for former trainer Ed Dunlop last August (Nottingham and Salisbury); now rated 7lb higher than when beating Rosamour by just over 2L; considered on debut for William Haggas.

Form: 95811-

(9)

Margie's Choice^v¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: H Crouch| T: M Madgwick| OR: 62

50/1

Her sole win from 14 starts came on the AW at Kempton (1m) in August 2018; 0-8 since joining this trainer from John Gosden for 8,000gns in October 2018; handicap mark in free-fall.

Form: 423870

Artistic Streak²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 74

12/1

Lightly-raced New Approach filly; makes her handicap debut from a reasonable mark (74); her best effort came on quick ground when finishing 9L third to the subsequent Listed Pretty Polly Stakes winner Maqsad at Newmarket (1m) in April.

Form: 6-38

(7)

Dubrava²⁰⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 73

4/1

Dansili filly; showed much improved juvenile form on the AW finishing runner up on both starts, including when run down by the 8/13f Flarepath in a 7f fillies' novice at Chelmsford; respected making her first appearance for 2014 days.

Form: 6022-

Chicago Doll⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 73

9/1

Staying on when finishing third (beaten 3¼L) to Fields Of Athenry on handicap debut over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last week; half-sister to the 1m2f winner Everlong, so could well appreciate this extra yardage; couldn't be discounted.

Form: 535-3

(2)

Emma Point^h³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Watson| T: M Botti| OR: 72| D

8/1

Returned from Meydan with a 1m1f+ Class 5 handicap win on the AW at Wolverhampton; whether or not that bare form has much in the way of substance is debatable; more to do off a 3lb higher mark.

Form: 62-6071

Comeonfeeltheforce^t³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 56

25/1

Filly who is already onto her third trainer (previously with J.Portman and A.West); 6lb higher than when making a winning debut for Lee Carter at Kempton (1m) last month; runner up in another Class 6 handicap at Lingfield since.

Form: 445812

Forecasts

Hallalulu (9/4), Sweet Charity (4/1), Dubrava (4/1), New Jazz (5/1), Emma Point (8/1), Ashazuri (9/1), Chicago Doll (9/1), Artistic Streak (12/1), Perfect Showdance (16/1), Dependable (20/1), Comeonfeeltheforce (25/1), Margie's Choice (50/1)

Not the most inspiring of conclusions to an otherwise massively intriguing Sandown Park card. The likes of New Jazz, Hallalulu, and Dubrava all represent much respected trainers, and boast reasonably solid form-based chances. However, there's potentially greater value to be sought elsewhere with a couple of fillies' with less 'sexy' profiles. Therefore, small stakes are advised on the handicap debutantes Artistic Streak and PERFECT SHOWDANCE with the forecast quick ground hopefully proving more favourable to the Clive Cox-trained runner.
