Gold Venture⁴³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson| OR: 70

1/2

Won 5f seller at Redcar on debut in May before fifith in Chepstow novice stakes. Won last time over 6f when dropped back into this grade at Salisbury last month on soft ground. Should stay extra furlong on this sharp track and has fine chance.

Form: 151

(2)

Jakodobro²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: G Lee| T: B Smart| OR: 28

66/1

Gelded after finishing last of nine in Redcar seller on second outing and did little better on return at Thirsk earlier this month. Faces a very stiff task on that evidence.

Form: 890

Our Dave¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 57

13/2

Third over this trip in Redcar seller on second start but struggled in better company at Beverley last time. Drop to this grade looks right move but has something to find on figures if he is to score.

Form: 839

(4)

Cersei Lannister^v1¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: Adrian Nicholls

33/1

First-time visor applied on this Acclamation filly aftre showing little to write home about in her two starts to date. Dropped in class but needs to find more to trouble the principals.

Form: 78

(8)

Classy Lady^p1⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Ben Robinson⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 57

5/1

One of two representing last year's winning yard. First-time cheekpieces added having gone close in Redcar seller on penultimate start before being outpaced over 6f in Ripon seller last time. Wouldn't need much more to reach a place.

Form: 64024

(9)

It's Not My Fault¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 62

9/1

Yard does well with its juveniles but has just 9% strike rate at this track with its youngsters. Last on each of her first two starts and again struggled last time in Chester novice race. Ease in grade helps but has to prove she stays.

Form: 365

(3)

Laughter Lounge⁶¹

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans

25/1

Ivawood filly who was all at sea on debut at Haydock in May in higher grade over this trip finishing last of 13. Given time to recover and down in class so some improvement likely.

Form: 9

(7)

Miss Chilli⁷⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby

22/1

Last on debut over 5f and finished 8th last time in Wolverhampton 6f novice stakes. That form is red-hot though with winner scoring at Royal Ascot, runner-up finishing second in a Group 2, and three others winning since. Down in grade now.

Form: 08

(6)

Susie Javea³³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears

66/1

Stable companion of Classy Lady. Outpaced over 5f on debut at Beverley but bit better in 7f Redcar seller last time. Needs to raise her game again to figure though.

Form: 96

Forecasts

Gold Venture (1/2), Classy Lady (5/1), Our Dave (13/2), It's Not My Fault (9/1), Miss Chilli (22/1), Laughter Lounge (25/1), Cersei Lannister (33/1), Susie Javea (66/1), Jakodobro (66/1)

Gold Venture represents a yard in cracking form and will not be easy to beat having already won two sellers this summer, but a chance is taken on MISS CHILI whose 8th to subsequent Royal Ascot hero Pinatubo in a Wolverhampton novice event last time has worked out very well indeed with four other nice winners emerging from the race. Our Dave should appreciate the drop down in company too, while there is room for improvement for Classy Lady, Laughter Lounge and It's Not My Fault.
