Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: B A Curtis| T: K R Burke| OR: 81| D

33/1

Three-time winner out of sorts the last twice after promising second at Brighton in her second 2019 start. Hard to fancy now for all she's well handicapped at her best.

Form: 17-7284

Empress Ali⁴³

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: T P Tate| OR: 81| CD

25/1

Latest of six wins came in August 2017, and her form towards the tail end of 2018/early 2019 would strongly imply that she isn't the force of old. Well held here latest when 12th of 14.

Form: 5300-00

Audarya³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 87| D

10/3

€125,000 yearling buy deservedly off the mark after three seconds at Redcar and won in highly impressive fashion too. Opening mark for handicaps not impossible especially with further progress likely.

Form: 2-221

11/2

2017 winner of this but only won since which was at Ripon in June (1m4f). Third at that course latest but will need more here against interesting unexposed sorts.

Red Hot²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: D Tudhope| T: R A Fahey| OR: 85

7/1

Newcastle winner as a juvenile beaten 4L into fourth of six at Chester latest when dropped in class and with a 2lb lower mark today she has place claims.

Form: 41-584

Ladies First¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Nathan Evans| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 75| C

10/1

Second in this race last year but off a 6lb higher mark this time around having subsequently won here over 7f. Seems to enjoy it here but unplaced in four 2019 starts and handicap looks overall high enough.

Form: 18-7554

Amber Spark¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 83| D

9/1

Soft ground Ripon winner (1m2f) two starts ago before finishing third of four on opposite ground at Salisbury latest. More rain the better here and could go well if it turns testing.

Form: 439-213

Nette Rousse⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: R Kingscote| T: R M Beckett| OR: 80| D

6/4

Twice chased home recent Listed placed Pondus before getting off the mark as favourite at Sandown last time in good fashion over fair yardstick Damon Runyan. Should improve further and opening mark looks lenient.

Forecasts

Nette Rousse (6/4), Audarya (10/3), Manorah (5/1), Appointed (11/2), Tamreer (6/1), Red Hot (7/1), Amber Spark (9/1), Ladies First (10/1), Empress Ali (25/1), Double Reflection (33/1)

As well as Tamreer has been running three highly unexposed three-year-olds look the most likely with recent Sandown novice scorer NETTE ROUSSE looking a useful sort there and her opening mark could very easily underestimate her. Manorah is progressing nicely and looked sure to gain a third win soon when second latest while Audarya must also be respected after her maiden win last time out.
