Pearl Spectre^v²¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: Grace McEntee⁽⁷⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 62| CD

8/1

Maiden on turf with all nine wins coming on the AW, including four here (three over C&D). Better for switch back from turf and on a good mark down at this level. Dangerous if finding his form again.

Form: 942655

Miaella⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Joey Haynes| T: C Banham| OR: 60

5/1

Ran well on second start over this C&D for Paul Howling but well below that in three starts since. Perhaps a return to here could help but still hard to be confident in for new trainer.

Form: 7-2066

Majdool^e/s³²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Connor Beasley| T: N Wilson| OR: 59| D

9/1

Impressed in winning by 4½L in a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in November. Very disappointing in three starts this year and remains 4lb higher than last win. Others preferred.

Form: 016-067

Magicinthemaking⁶⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: J E Long| OR: 57| CD

4/1

Up 4lb for latest C&D win where she ran on strongly and won going away. However it was won in a good time and a clear career-best. Previous two success also came here (both 6f) and still open to improvement. Leading hope.

Form: U12231

Holy Tiber³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ryan Tate| T: C Banham| OR: 56| CD

5/1

Last win came over this C&D in December 2018 and now 1lb lower. Well below par on last three starts for Paul Howling and probably best watched for now on stable debut.

Form: 922750

Kennocha^t²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Wood| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 59

8/1

Returned from a 220-day absence with much improved efforts on the AW with a win and a second over 6f at Lingfield and Wolverhampton. Shaped as though worth another go at this trip and latest turf run worth forgetting.

Form: 277-129

(4)

Vincenzo Coccotti^p¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-1| J: Finley Marsh⁽³⁾| T: K O Cunningham-Brown| OR: 51| CD

6/1

Last AW win came over this C&D, albeit back in November 2016. Left some indifferent form this year behind when a neck second at Lingfield last time. Back up in grade and respected but this is tougher.

Form: 880252

Obsession For Gold^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A Fresu| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 54

16/1

Has struggled to make an impression in four starts to date. Reared on leaving the stalls and denied a clear run so may improve up a furlong from handicap debut. However hard to be confident in.

Form: 8376

Red Skye Delight^h1³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: J Mitchell| T: L McJannet| OR: 51

14/1

Six-race maiden has been inconsistent in six starts so far but shaped with promise following a break when denied a clear run over 6f here last month. Dropped 2lb and on a potentially useful mark. Can be competitive.

Form: 76-0684

Amaranth²²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 8-10| J: N Mackay| T: S Dow| OR: 45

10/1

Maiden showed some hints of promise early but lost his way on his final five starts for Michael Scudamore. Best watched on stable debut.

Form: 09008-0

(6)

Catapult¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Morgan Cole⁽⁷⁾| T: S L Keightley| OR: 45| BF| D

9/1

Just one win from 32 starts which came during a consistent run at the beginning of the year. Now 4lb lower but below par of late and hard to be confident in.

Form: 370657

Forecasts

Magicinthemaking (4/1), Miaella (5/1), Holy Tiber (5/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (6/1), Kennocha (8/1), Pearl Spectre (8/1), Catapult (9/1), Majdool (9/1), Amaranth (10/1), Red Skye Delight (14/1), Obsession For Gold (16/1)

There was a lot to like about the way MAGICINTHEMAKING pulled away late on over this C&D when last seen in June and she has more upside than her rivals. Red Sky Delight caught the eye here over a furlong shorter and this looks a good opportunity to build on the run. Kennocha is a far better performer on the AW and can continue her progression switching back to a more suitable surface. Pearl Spectre is worth a check in the betting.
