I Think So¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Laura Coughlan⁽⁷⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 65

50/1

Best effort in three starts so far came when finishing 11L seventh of eight in a 1m2f novice race at Nottingham (good) recently. Likely more needed under top weight on handicap debut.

Form: 0-87

Forbidden Dance²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Morrison| OR: 72

7/1

Good effort in finishing 3L third in a 1m novice event at Newbury (soft) last month. Disappointed on handicap debut on the AW at Kempton (1m) subsequently but remains of interest stepping up in distance.

Form: 8836

Teodora De Vega⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 71| D

4/9

Broke her maiden when winning by ¾L in a 1m2f handicap at Epsom (good-to-firm) on her penultimate start. Good second on the AW over 1m2f at Newcastle subsequently and is one for the shortlist off a mark 9lb higher than for her Epsom success.

Elena³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: C Hills| OR: 68

11/1

Placed on two of her three starts in maiden company most recently when third over an extended 1m at Beverley (soft) just over a month ago. Step up in distance looks likely to suit on handicap debut.

Seascape⁹⁰

7/1

Making her seasonal and handicap debut when victorious by 1L in a 1m2f event at Salisbury (good-to-firm) at the start of May. Raised 5lb for that victory and is interesting on return from a break.

Form: 908-1

Forecasts

Teodora De Vega (4/9), Seascape (7/1), Forbidden Dance (7/1), Bob's Girl (15/2), Elena (11/1), Takiah (20/1), I Think So (50/1)

ELENA has shown ability in maiden company and she can get off the mark at the first attempt in handicap company by taking this fillies only contest. The selection can get the better of Teodora De Vega who has won and placed on her two most recent starts while Seascape, a handicap debut winner in May can claim third on just her second start of the season.
