Ahorsewithnoname⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: B Ellison

12/1

Done well in NH bumpers. Should progress on the flat but unlikely that today will be her day, conceding weight away to potential improvers. Keep in mind as one to follow when switching to handicaps.

Piccolo Ramoscello¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson

50/1

Has shown nothing in three career starts. Tailed off when making flat debut at Chester (7f; good) and impossible to fancy, especially giving weight away.

Form: 0

(11)

Quiet Shy²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: T Eaves| T: M Scudamore

40/1

Never looked dangerous but outran odds of 100-1 when seventh on debut at Salisbury (1m2f; good to firm). Probably overachieved then and a surprise if she improved enough to figure in this contest.

Form: 7

(4)

Motivate Me²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

11/4

The only contender in the line-up with winning form to her name. Improved from debut effort when staying on late in the day to win at Salisbury (1m2f; good to firm). Follow-up claims despite the penalty in a contest lacking in depth.

Form: 71

(7)

Dubious Affair³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J P Spencer| T: Sir Michael Stoute

7/2

Given an educational ride when staying on late in the day under hands and heels on debut at Lingfield (1m2f; good). Is well-bred and would be a surprise were she not to improve considerably from that debut effort.

Form: 5

(14)

Earth And Sky²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Egan| T: George Scott

14/1

Got the hang of things late on when seventh at Nottingham (1m2f; soft). Another one who is upped in trip and could get involved if coming forward from that debut run.

Form: 7

(2)

High Above²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Kingscote| T: C Fellowes

3/1

Ran to a good level in what wasn't the greatest race in the world when runner-up on debut (winner had experience on her side) at Newmarket (1m4f; good). Any improvement from that should see her go close in a race where many can be easily opposed.

Form: 2

(9)

Kenica¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rhona Pindar⁽⁷⁾| T: K R Burke

25/1

Took a slight backwards step when seventh of eight last time at Ripon (1m2f; good) after displaying some promise on debut. Confidently ruled out until moving into handicaps after today.

Form: 57

(3)

Monica Sheriff²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P J McDonald| T: W J Haggas

7/1

Very green on debut at Salisbury (1m2f; good to firm) in race won by Motivate Me. Upped in trip and should get closer to that rival, especially since she is receiving 6lb.

Form: 9

(13)

Video Diva³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood| T: J R Fanshawe

40/1

Has been desperately struggling for form in two career starts. Most recently when never a factor at Lingfield (1m2f; good). Behind the likes of Dubious Affair that day and unlikely she will reverse that form. Of interest when switching to handicaps.

Form: 90

(6)

Vintage Rose¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: K Stott| T: M Walford

50/1

Never really threatened but did somewhat outrun 80-1 odds when fifth on debut at Redcar (1m2f; good to firm). Must improve a tonne from that though and unlikely to feature.

Form: 5

(5)

Wannie Mae²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: P Hanagan| T: W J Haggas

12/1

Showed some promise on debut at the backend of last year but returned with a rather disappointing effort at Salilsbury (1m2f; good to firm) in May. Step up to 1m4f and slightly slower conditions could offer room for encouragement.

Form: 7-0

Forecasts

Motivate Me (11/4), High Above (3/1), Dubious Affair (7/2), Monica Sheriff (7/1), Ahorsewithnoname (12/1), Wannie Mae (12/1), Local Affair (12/1), Earth And Sky (14/1), Kenica (25/1), Video Diva (40/1), Quiet Shy (40/1), Vintage Rose (50/1), Piccolo Ramoscello (50/1), Ozark (66/1)

She displayed a willing attitude when coming home strongly to notch a first career success at Salisbury, and Motivate Me is likely to go close despite having to shoulder a penalty. She had the benefit of experience over Monica Sheriff who was making her debut then and that pair should be much closer to each other today. It will be interesting to see if the form is reversed, but for win purposes, the selection is DUBIOUS AFFAIR. She will have learnt plenty from her debut at Lingfield and should improve a great deal as most of Sir Michael Stoute's do from their first runs, where education tends to be the main priority. Expect a vastly different proposition today.
