Just Glamorous^p1¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 83| D

4/1

No win since October 2017, though has been consistent in four British starts this term and could have a major say from this mark with first-time cheekpieces tried.

Form: 4-20206

Foxy Forever^b,t³⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: M Wigham| OR: 82| CD

6/1

Ended a lengthy losing run this track in June, but has long been vulnerable from this sort of mark, and failed to trouble the judge at Salisbury last time. Place claims if bouncing back, but opposable on balance.

Form: 425915

Harrogate^b²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 79| D

3/1

Back to form when scoring over 6f at Epsom last month on quick ground, only 2lb higher now over this shorter trip and remains on the shortlist for this prize.

Form: 010651

A Sure Welcome^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: J L Spearing| OR: 78| D

6/1

Winner at Chepstow in June over 5f on good to soft, likely a line can be drawn through last-time-out Sandown effort. Remains 4lb above last win-mark.

Miracle Works⁷¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 75| D

14/1

Only sixth in Lingfield race won by Harrogate in May when last spotted. Better off on these terms but no shock that rival confirm superiority.

Rose Hip²³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 74| CD

13/8

Form figures of 121 since June, scoring at Nottingham (6f, good) and over C&D (firm) either side of solid Newbury run. Has an additional 7lb to contend with but should be in the shake-up.

Form: 33-7121

Forecasts

Rose Hip (13/8), Harrogate (3/1), Just Glamorous (4/1), The Daley Express (4/1), Foxy Forever (6/1), A Sure Welcome (6/1), Miracle Works (14/1)

Rose Hip is thriving this summer and isn't one to overlook too hastily despite a 7lb rise for her C&D success last month. Harrogate has escaped with just an extra 2lb for last month's Epsom success and will be fine over this shorter trip while The Daley Express put in a much better effort at Windsor last time and is proven on this track. JUST GLAMOROUS has been running consistent races in Britain this summer and certainly wouldn't be winning out of turn should the first-time cheekpieces help, alongside a handy 7lb claim from Angus Villiers.
