Lady Kermit²⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A Watson| OR: 89| D

1/1

Won her fist two starts in a pleasing manner but held when upped to Listed races for her latest outings; not disgraced either time and has solid claims down in grade and on these terms. Can make the running so will make this a stern test.

Form: 1134

Last Surprise⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: S & E Crisford

3/1

Debut run was a power-packed display in dismantling a decent looking field at Lingfield on the AW 6f course; never really on the premises in Albany Stakes at Ascot last week though and not certain to appreciate this drop in trip.

Form: 10

(3)

Separate⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 82| D

6/1

Overhauled Last Surprise at Ascot last week (finished 15th of 25) and shouldn't have any issues dropping back to the minimum distance. Does have a bit to find with Lady Kermit on a literal reading of their encounter at York, however.

Form: 2610

(6)

Inyamazane⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: M R Channon| OR: 80

16/1

Still a maiden and has been well held in all bar one of her four previous starts. Stiff test in this stronger company.

Form: 4223

(1)

Hand On My Heart

Age: 2| Weight: 8-12| J: H Crouch| T: C G Cox

5/1

A half-sister to Group 2 winner Heartache and Heartwarming, who was placed at Listed level; her dam, Place In My Heart, won on her second start and also went on to land a Listed race at Bath. Yard going well but this is a stiff introduction.

Non-Runners

T: D M Simcock J: F Norton

Forecasts

Lady Kermit (1/1), Last Surprise (3/1), Hand On My Heart (5/1), Separate (6/1), Inyamazane (16/1), Microscopic (16/1)

LADY KERMIT has already brushed aside Separate in a Listed race for fillies at York and the daughter of Starspangledbanner sets a good standard here. Last Surprise, Inyamazane, and Microscopic all have a bit to find, so the speedily-bred Hand On MY Heart won't have to be anything out of the ordinary to emerge as the best of the rest.
