Lady Mascara²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 70| BF

2/1

Has been knocking on the door this summer, going close at Nottingham two starts ago and then running to that level when placed at Sandown last time. Slight question mark over whether this track will suit, but clear form chance.

Form: 645423

Air Force Amy⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Scott McCullagh⁽⁵⁾| T: M R Channon| OR: 68

9/4

Put in a much better effort when second in a similar event at Ffos Las last time out, although not for the first time hung a bit under pressure, and given she's already been beaten at 1-7 back in March, isn't one for maximum faith.

Form: 23-2772

Slade King⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: T P Queally| T: G & J Moore| OR: 68

16/1

Has ability and handles downhill tracks fine, but does now need to rediscover his best form after two below par efforts this season. That's not impossible, but others have more pressing claims.

Form: 7334-85

Sarasota¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: Mark Gillard| OR: 58

10/1

Placed on her last three starts but you'd be hard pushed to say she's improving and she didn't quite see this trip out last time either. On balance, others make a bit more appeal.

Form: 472333

God Has Given^p³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon⁽⁵⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 63

7/1

Going nowhere quickly at present and is starting to show some signs of temperament into the bargain. Upped in trip today as well, and there are simply too many question marks against him at the moment.

Form: 995576

Circle Of Stars⁹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: J Mitchell| T: C Fellowes| OR: 63

11/1

Four starts to date have revealed only a modicum of ability, best effort coming when fifth over 7f at Wetherby in April, but upped in trip and on breeding, he's not certain to get it. Makes only minimal appeal.

Form: 7769

Temujin⁷³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: A Stronge| OR: 61

9/1

First start for new yard (who can ready them for yard debuts), gelded since last seen and almost made it pay at Lingfield on latest start, beaten just a neck. Plenty to recommend his chance, with this trip no problem.

Form: 403-522

Tattenhams¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: J Quinn| T: A West| OR: 48

18/1

Getting the hang of things now, beaten just a neck at Lingfield two starts back and then far from disgraced at Nottingham last time (travelled well). Better ground here may suit and can't be allowed an easy lead from the inside stall.

Form: 7-80024

Forecasts

Lady Mascara (2/1), Air Force Amy (9/4), God Has Given (7/1), Temujin (9/1), Sarasota (10/1), Circle Of Stars (11/1), Slade King (16/1), Tattenhams (18/1)

As with a few races here this afternoon, plenty can be given some sort of chance. Tattenhams is probably going to play the hare and is running better now, so could make all if allowed to dominate. Air Force Amy has an obvious chance but might not be one for the mortgage and preference is for TEMUJIN on his first start for Ali Stronge. He was in good form when last seen and may do better now gelded for his new yard. Lady Mascara and Slade King cannot be discounted either.
