(9)

Thakaa²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: G Lee| T: C Hills| OR: 72

7/1

Daughter of Lemon Drop Kid maybe didn't enjoy the softer ground at Goodwood after failing to build on the promise of her Newmarket reappearance. A likely improver now going handicapping although stable are quiet at present.

Form: 7-54

(5)

Eesha's Smile¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 70| C

9/2

Sets the standard on her opening two wins for Mark Johnston last year but hasn't seen out her races in two runs for new stable this campaign. Still needs to prove she needs this far and stable a bit quiet at present.

Form: 1666-53

(3)

Ivory Charm⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 68

3/1

Racing to a consistent standard in a variety of conditions and up another 2lb following two solid efforts following her breakthrough win. Could have done with a stronger pace to aim at last time and still has more to offer at this distance.

Form: 662124

(1)

Canoodling¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 68

5/1

Pulled too hard in a C&D maiden last time following some promise on her second start at Ripon. Opening handicap mark appeals and with a stronger pace likely, she looks like one who will improve.

Form: 055

(4)

Lady Scatterley⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 67

16/1

Raced three times for Richard Hannon last year and once for new stable last month, showing a similar level of form whilst failing to improve from her best effort on debut. Down 2lb but needs to settle much better.

Form: 565-0

(8)

Osmosis²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C J McGovern⁽³⁾| T: J Ward| OR: 65

8/1

Didn't stay 1m4f on soft ground at Thirsk and better judged on her previous consistent efforts. Drop of another 3lb looks very handy and a reproduction of her previous York effort (in a much higher grade) would see her go close.

Form: 44-3448

(7)

Northern Lyte¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Faye McManoman⁽⁵⁾| T: N Tinkler| OR: 61

5/2

Remains a 10-race maiden but has seemingly improved with each run this season and her latest C&D third was back to last year's level of form. Down another 1lb and could be involved for in form stable but may not want the ground too lively.

Form: 4-0U743

(6)

Kostantina²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Phil Dennis| T: Olly Williams| OR: 55

33/1

Daughter of Oasis Dream has finished tailed off in all three starts this year and at very long odds. Would need big improvement to be competitive off this opening handicap mark.

Form: 803

(2)

Initial Approach¹¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: D Fentiman| T: A D Brown| OR: 45

50/1

Dawn Aprroach filly has been sent off no shorter than 100/1 in three very well beaten starts and makes no appeal from out of the weights on handicap debut.

Form: 709

Forecasts

Northern Lyte (5/2), Ivory Charm (3/1), Eesha's Smile (9/2), Canoodling (5/1), Thakaa (7/1), Osmosis (8/1), Lady Scatterley (16/1), Kostantina (33/1), Initial Approach (50/1)

A line can be put through the last run of OSMOSIS and with her falling to a very attractive mark, she's got to be worth taking a chance with. There's enough pace on offer to suggest that Canoodling should be suited by the conditions on her handicap debut. Ivory Charm is proving reliable and she's another who will be suited by a more genuine tempo.
