Swiper¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Rossa Ryan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 62

20/1

Still looking for his first success after six starts. Featured over this C&D last time on what was his opening run for his new yard but could only finish seventh of nine. Has been eased 4lb. Needs to improve.

Form: 52880-7

Tasman Sea⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 62

12/1

Showed some promise on the AW as a two-year-old, including when third of 12 at Kempton (1m) where she was only beaten by a neck. Has been disappointing on her two turf starts. First run for new yard here. One to watch off this mark.

Form: 736-098

Sepahi^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: H Spiller| OR: 61

16/1

Tasted her first success on the AW back in March at Chelmsford (5f) in a eight runner field. Has been unable to follow it up since then. Did run well on last turf start at Thirsk (6f) when third of nine. Each-way chance on step up in distance.

Glamorous Crescent¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Quinn| T: G Harris| OR: 59| BF| CD

5/2

Broke her maiden over this C&D two starts back and then was fancied to follow it up here over the same distance last time where she could only finish third of eight when going off as the 9/4 favourite. Been in good form this season. Leading player.

Illywhacker⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S W Kelly| T: G & J Moore| OR: 58

11/1

Lightly-raced colt who struggled on his handicap debut at Windsor (1m) last time where he had just one rival behind him in a 14 runner field. Down 4lb, while this distance looks more suitable. Interesting off this mark.

Form: 6-790

Global Goddess^p⁶⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 58

20/1

Still a maiden but has some good form on the AW at the back end of last year where she was placed on three occasions. Returned to action on the turf at Brighton (7f) back in May, finishing last of 14. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 324-020

Gilt Edge⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Mason| OR: 57

10/1

Showed very little in her opening three runs but there was a slight improvement last time on her handicap debut here over the shorter trip of 6f when she was seventh of 12. Has been eased 2lb and up in trip. One to watch.

Form: 497-7

Aquarius^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Jones| T: M Appleby| OR: 57

8/1

Opened her career with success at Newmarket (6f) but since then she has taken a sharp drop down the weights. On her latest outing at Brighton (7f),she was fifth of nine. Has dropped a further 2lb but she has to improve to be in the frame.

Form: 046865

Princess Florence⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: J Ryan| OR: 52| D

16/1

Experienced filly for her age. She broke her maiden at Brighton (7f) earlier this month. Has reappeared twice since then where she has struggled off her mark. She was eighth of nine at Leicester (6f) last week. Has to bounce back.

Form: 263178

Harbour Times³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: William Carver⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 46

8/1

Lightly-raced filly who has had just the five starts so far without success. Has yet to make an impression in handicap company. She was eighth of 14 on her last start at Brighton (1m). Has been eased 2lb and down in trip. Others appeal more.

Form: 779-98

(10)

Grey Hare^h,t¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

12/1

Remains a maiden after six starts. Has improved recently for the step up 7f, including at Chepstow where he was just 3L behind the winner when fifth of 16. Has been eased 1lb since latest effort at Brighton (7f). One to consider.

Form: 00-0858

(12)

Seafaring Girl^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁷⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 45

6/1

Is still looking for her opening win after 10 races. Ran modestly well on her return to 1m last time at Thirsk where she was fourth of 16. Has been eased 1lb so another strong showing can be expected. Cheekpieces on for first time. Each-way claims.

Form: 0-60864

Yfenni⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Raul Da Silva| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

33/1

Has shown some promise on a couple of occasions this season as she searches for her first win. She was fourth of 14 two starts back at Bath (5½f) but was disappointing last time at Lingfield (6f) on the AW. Others preferred.

Forecasts

Glamorous Crescent (5/2), Seafaring Girl (6/1), Harbour Times (8/1), Aquarius (8/1), Gilt Edge (10/1), Illywhacker (11/1), Grey Hare (12/1), Tasman Sea (12/1), Sepahi (16/1), Princess Florence (16/1), Savoy Brown (16/1), Global Goddess (20/1), Swiper (20/1), Moon Artist (25/1), Yfenni (33/1)

GLAMOUROUS CRESCENT has been in excellent form this season, with the highlight being her success over this C&D two starts back. She had to settle for third place last time off this mark but she is worth sticking with as she looks open to improvement which could help her to put her nose in front on this latest start. Illywhacker isn't worth giving up on as she didn't quite stay the 1m trip last time on her handicap debut so she looks interesting off this 4lb lower mark this trip, while Grey Hare is showing signs that she is capable of more at this trip so expect a positive run.
