Diamond Shower²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 67

7/1

Very low-key on handicap debut at Hamilton (6f, good) and immediately eased a couple of pounds since; had shown some earlier promise in novice races, namely when nailed on the line at Carlisle (6f, good to soft); first start at 5f.

Form: 3249

Sarasota Bay³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 66

5/2

A filly who has shown all of her best form with cut underfoot; beaten a neck by Timetodock on handicap debut at Carlisle (6f, heavy) in May and has earlier Haydock experience on her CV; chance.

Form: 33-4248

Springwood Drive⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Sullivan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62

11/10

Mayson filly with a consistent profile (6f-7f); raised 1lb for finishing 1½L second to Dubai Elegance on handicap debut in a 6f Class 5 fillies' event (good to soft) on Saturday; first start at 5f.

Form: 3242

Celerity^v³

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Noel Garbutt⁽³⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 50

33/1

100-1 runner-up to a well-handicapped rival over C&D (good to firm) in July, but beaten on all five subsequent starts and is now a 74-race maiden; can't realistically be considered.

Form: 285769

Red Allure²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 50

9/2

10-race maiden; hardly overly enticing, but she would appear to appreciate soft ground; placed (beaten 1¾L) behind Aperitif over C&D latest, so must hold a chance of sorts if able to reproduce that form.

Form: 0-9U003

(4)

Swiss Chime^b1⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Izzy Clifton⁽⁷⁾| T: A Berry| OR: 48| D

50/1

Won for Dean Ivory at Southwell (5f) on New Year's Day but hasn't beaten a single rival in four starts for Alan Berry; blinkers newly applied seeking a sharp (and much needed) upturn in fortunes.

Form: 400977

Forecasts

Springwood Drive (11/10), Sarasota Bay (5/2), Red Allure (9/2), Diamond Shower (7/1), Celerity (33/1), Swiss Chime (50/1)

A modest fillies' handicap. Red Allure was placed over C&D last month and appears to appreciate soft ground while Springwood Drive has proved herself as consistent and recorded another solid effort at Doncaster (6f) on Saturday. However, with the forecast in mind it could be worth siding with the John Quinn-trained SARASOTA BAY. She also has Haydock experience on her CV and can be forgiven a modest run at Leicester in July (on unsuitable good to firm ground).
