Izvestia^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 70| CD

5/2

Dual winner in the spring including in a similar race to this over C&D at the end of May. Odds-on when beaten at Windsor (1m2f, good-to-firm) on her penultimate start and return to this trip a positive having disappointed over 1m here last time.

Warrior Display^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S Donohoe| T: B J Llewellyn| OR: 59

10/1

Decent 3½L fifth in a 14 runner 1m2f handicap at Salisbury (good-to-firm) on stable debut in May. Well beaten in two hurdles starts since and interesting to see how he fares on Flat return.

Form: 44-1455

Beechwood James^p1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hannon

5/1

Improved on debut effort when finishing third in a 1m2f claimer at Windsor (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Finished one place behind Izvestia that day and is a notable runner with cheekpieces tried for the first time.

Form: 73

Risk Mitigation^v²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: A Mullen| T: P D Evans| OR: 53

16/1

Failed to figure in four starts to date including when 8L eighth over 1m1f at Lingfield (good-to-firm) in a first time visor (retained) last time out. Others make more appeal.

Form: 0958

Crystal Tiara²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: G Mosse| T: M R Channon| OR: 48

7/4

Seven race maiden was beaten 11L when sixth in a 1m4f handicap at Epsom (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Needs to improve to figure on this occasion.

Form: 605-576

Leebellnsummerbee⁸⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Ella McCain⁽⁷⁾| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 46

33/1

Struggled in four starts so far most recently when 26L last of ten on handicap and seasonal debut on the AW at Southwell (1m) in May. Probably on first attempt at this trip.

Form: 507-0

Little Tipple⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: N Mackay| T: J Ryan| OR: 40

33/1

13 race maiden finished a fair 6L fourth in a 1m seller on good-to-firm ground here a week ago. Stamina to prove stepping up in distance.

Form: 907764

Maiden Navigator^h¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: T Eaves| T: D M Simcock| OR: 52

8/1

Raced keenly when 24L ninth in a 1m4f claimer at Wolverhampton just over a fortnight ago. Previously 8L seventh over an extended 1m3f at Windsor (good-to-firm) on handicap and seasonal debut and is interesting dropping in trip.

Form: 9-4879

Forecasts

Crystal Tiara (7/4), Izvestia (5/2), Beechwood James (5/1), Maiden Navigator (8/1), Warrior Display (10/1), Risk Mitigation (16/1), Little Tipple (33/1), Leebellnsummerbee (33/1), Yestaahel (33/1)

IZVESTIA can put a couple of disappointing efforts behind her to record a second C&D victory of the season in this nine runner selling race. Beechwood James showed promise when finishing behind the selection earlier this month and he can take second on this occasion while third can go to Maiden Navigator who is taken to show improved form dropping in distance.
