4/5

Overcame lengthy absence to register 9l victory in 7f fillies' novice at York in June. Didn't need to improve to win a similar event cosily at Haydock last time, and remains unexposed, so should take all the beating on handicap debut.

Form: 4-11

11/4

Best effort this season when neck second of 4 to Bighearted in a 1m handicap at Pontefract last time, but while the winner has scored again since, a 5lb rise for that run looks pretty harsh. Blinkers replace cheekpieces now.

Form: 163-232

5/2

Started favourite for the Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot, and now meets Maamora on better terms despite beating her by 4L there. Went in snatches when below form last time, though, and needs to bounce back now.

Forecasts

Mubtasimah (4/5), Desirous (5/2), Pennywhistle (11/4), Maamora (3/1)

A trappy affair, but while it's possible to pick holes in the other trio, MUBTASIMAH has been doing everything right, and should prove too good for Maamora and Desirous. The latter came out best when that pair met at Royal Ascot, and is better off at the weights, but Maamora seems much more likely to give her running here.
