Geetanjali^v⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 77| CD

4/1

Has been running to her mark this season and appreciated the drop in class with taking success at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) five days ago. Quick turnaround but takes advantage of same mark. Respected.

Form: 135531

Geranium⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Dane O'Neill| T: H Morrison| OR: 65| CD

10/11

On a hat-trick bid after good victories over C&D and at Newmarket - the latter being an impressive 6L success. Has another 5lb rise to contend but may have found her trip and holds leading claims.

Form: 06-0711

Kvetuschka¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Watson| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 76| D

16/1

Sole success came on the AW at Lingfield and has looked regressive since that win. Latest 111L fourth suggests more is required at this level but has been used a further 3lb in the handicap.

Form: 0-1534

Mulan⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 75

11/1

Winner at Leicester on seasonal debut but ran no sort of race on second start in handicap company with 18L last of five in 1m Newmarket contest in June. Hasn't been seen since and not guaranteed to stay but hails from top yard.

Form: 866-15

Beguiling Charm¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 73| D

9/1

Won well on first start over this trip at Leicester on penultimate start but found life off revised mark tough with distant seventh at Yarmouth on latest start. Back in restricted company but a bit to prove off the same mark.

Form: 823417

Seascape³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: David Probert| T: H Candy| OR: 69| D

5/1

Sprung a minor surprise to win on first try over this trip in May before respectable second in 1m2f handicap at Leicester (heavy) at the end of July. Showed a better attitude for faster ground and likely to improve again.

Form: 908-12

Forecasts

Geranium (10/11), Geetanjali (4/1), Seascape (5/1), Beguiling Charm (9/1), Mulan (11/1), Star Of Athena (14/1), Kvetuschka (16/1)

Progressive horses are likely to come to the fore in the closing handicap and preference is for GEETANJALI, who has the assistance of a useful 3lb claimer and can make a mockery of remaining on the same mark for her impressive success last time out. She could be one step ahead of both the handicapper and Geranium, who comes into this in fine form but may excel over further, while Seascape didn't take to heavy ground last time and will appreciate the forecasted ground conditions her but has a good 8lb to find to win.
