Union Rose^p⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: William Carver⁽⁷⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 72| D

4/1

Experienced sprinter who was second of eight over this C&D back in May. Has run modestly well since then, including latest where he was fourth of nine here over this distance. Now 1lb lower in the weights. Each-way claims.

Glamorous Rocket⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Mason| OR: 70| D

12/1

Was successful three times on the spin in 2018 but her form this season has been a concern as she has failed to beat a rival in three runs. On her latest start, she was last of nine over this C&D. Down 5lb but has to improve to be in the mix.

Form: 210-049

Quantum Dot^b¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-8| J: P Cosgrave| T: E De Giles| OR: 66| CD

11/1

A five-time C&D winner here. Has struggled for form so far this year but two of those runs have come at class four, including his latest start where he was 11th of 13 at Chester (5½f). Now 2lb lower than last winning mark. Has to be considered.

Form: 118-800

Show Me The Bubbly^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Jones| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 70

4/1

Her sole success so far came at Bath back in May over the extended 5f trip. Was close to following that up last time at Catterick (5f) where she was second of five runners. Remains off the same mark. Cheekpieces on for first time. Good chance.

Silverrica¹⁰

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: J Quinn| T: M S Saunders| OR: 63| D

25/1

Last success came in May over 5f at Bath. Has struggled for form so far this season. On her previous start, she was last of five at Bath (5f). Is now 7lb lower than her last win so has to be respected off this mark, however, others are preferred.

Form: 48-7055

Broadhaven Dream³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 62| CD

6/5

Broke his maiden over this C&D last time on just his second start in handicap company where he ran on well in the closing stages to get up by 2¼L. Gone up 7lb for that success. Open to improvement. Leading contender.

Compton Poppy^b1²³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: George Downing| T: A W Carroll| OR: 56| CD

10/1

Was successful over this C&D as a novice, however, she has not been able to add to that since then. Changed yards earlier this year but form has not improved. Blinkers are on for the first time here. Hard to make a case for on recent form.

Form: 4432-07

Forecasts

Broadhaven Dream (6/5), Show Me The Bubbly (4/1), Union Rose (4/1), Compton Poppy (10/1), Quantum Dot (11/1), Glamorous Rocket (12/1), Silverrica (25/1)

BROADHAVEN DREAM was impressive over this C&D last time where he took advantage of his handicap mark to break his maiden. Although he has gone up 7lb here, he is open to improvement so he should be capable of defying that rise in the weights to follow up his recent success. Show Me The Bubbly remains off the same mark as her close second at Catterick last time over this trip so she should go close again, while Quantum Dot has to be considered here over this C&D, especially now he is 2lb lower than his last success.
