15/8

Revitalised since joining Richard Hughes, with figures of 13212 so far, including a win here over 5f early last month and runner-up effort since over C&D from this mark. Should go well once more dropped in class.

Form: 0-13212

Richenza²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 90| D

6/1

One win from seven in 2018 came on heavy ground at Salisbury in April. Couple of good runs in Listed class later last year, though well held in that grade on reappearance at Nottingham (6f, soft; 15-2). Can do better though handicap mark not easy.

Form: 82637-9

Lufricia³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Varian| OR: 83

4/1

Nicely-bred Kodiac filly, winner of 5f Newcastle novice contest on the AW in April on reappearance/second start. Found out since in Listed company at Chelmsford, worth a look now making handicap bow.

Form: 3-10

Pass The Gin¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 82| BF| D

11/4

Daughter of Passing Glance has gone close in all three starts this term, twice at Chester over this trip and on Sandown return (5f). Mark unchanged from recent 1¼L third of nine and should get involved when it matters.

Form: 640-343

Second Collection^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 79| D

9/2

Thriving filly with three wins and three second from six starts in 2019. Returned to the turf with Windsor success (6f, good; 6-1) 25 days ago and likely to go well once more despite being 6lb higher now.

Form: 221121

Forecasts

Puds (15/8), Pass The Gin (11/4), Lufricia (4/1), Second Collection (9/2), Richenza (6/1), Aim Power (10/1), Restless Rose (12/1)

The thrice-raced Lufricia is an interesting handicap debutante for Roger Varian in familiar colours and any money coming would have to be heeded, but she's facing some seasoned campaigners here. Puds has quickly developed a liking for this track and is respected down in class having just been touched off last month. She'll be coming late but might get outgunned by the improving SECOND COLLECTION, who appeared to score with something in hand last time at Windsor and might defy her penalty for a fourth win of 2019. The consistent Pass The Gin should continue to run well.
