7/2

Finished runner-up on both starts since joining this yard most recently when beaten a neck over this trip at Newmarket (good-to-firm) last month. Interesting runner on AW debut following a 5lb rise in the weights.

Form: 1690-22

Below par in two runs since winning by 2L over an extended 7f on good-to-firm turf here in June. Races off a mark 2lb higher than for that victory.

Form: 167178

Invitational²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 90

8/1

Fair seventh in a valuable nine runner 7f handicap at Chelmsford three weeks ago. Interesting to see how she fares following a 2lb drop in the weights.

Form: 0-1107

Dubai Blue¹⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 88| CD

8/1

Novice race winner over C&D in September last year and drops markedly in grade and trip having finished 28L last of ten in a Group 3 over an extended 1m2f at York (good-to-firm) in May on only subsequent start.

Form: 81-0

Scentasia²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: N Mackay| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 87| D

6/4

Recorded a first career success when justifying odds-on favouritism by 2½L in a handicap over this trip at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) earlier this month. Making her handicap debut that day is a leading contender despite an 8lb rise in the weights.

Form: 34-321

(7)

Lady Madison⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 86| D

25/1

Dual winner in novice company including over this trip at Windsor (good) in April. Struggled in both handicapped starts and is worth a check in the market on return to the AW.

Form: 14-108

(5)

Visionara¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: L Morris| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 81| C

6/1

Off the mark at the fourth attempt when making a winning handicap debut over 7f here just over two weeks ago. Represents a stable with a 33% strike-rate (4/12) in recent weeks and is one to note upped in trip despite a 7lb rise in the weights.

Form: 5921

Forecasts

Scentasia (6/4), Nkosikazi (7/2), Hateya (6/1), Visionara (6/1), Dubai Blue (8/1), Invitational (8/1), Daddies Girl (16/1), Lady Madison (25/1)

A competitive looking fillies handicap that can be dominated by the three-year-old's with preference here for SCENTASIA who showed good form in making a winning handicap debut last time. Dubai Blue drops markedly in grade and distance for a good yard and she can finish runner-up on her first handicap appearance while third place can go to Visionara who represents an in form yard stepping up in trip.
