Maid Millie^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: P J McDonald| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 56| BF

5/2

Stable's sprinters always merit consideration and this filly has enough form to give her claims at this level. Most recent starts were encouraging and the fact she was well backed last time over C&D is a solid clue. 2lb higher but still a player.

Form: 474724

Salmon Fishing^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S Donohoe| T: M Moubarak| OR: 56

6/1

Tried a variety of trips but success has been elusive so far. Now back over 6f for the first time this year and has a bit to prove on Tapeta debut. (First time in cheekpieces.)

Form: 5-49560

(6)

Senorita Grande^v²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Mullen| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 55

8/1

Has ability and no issues with the trip. Best form on turf posted with cut in the ground but didn't seem to have any issues with Tapeta on her debut at Newcastle back in April. The betting can guide on her first appearance at this course.

Lincoln Red¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: Olly Williams| OR: 55| D

16/1

Plenty of experience for a three-year-old and has a couple of 6f wins to his name (both on turf at Yarmouth). 0-4 on the AW and does need to show a good deal more than he did when he last raced on this track. (Still 2lb above his last winning mark.)

Miss Gargar^v¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Havlin| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 55

5/1

0-11 but has hinted that she can find a race before too long; ran really well to be placed over C&D last time out and has solid claims if using that as a platform. Very well handicapped despite being nudged up 1lb and has to be a player.

Form: 576353

Chop Chop^b,t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Megan Nicholls⁽³⁾| T: B Barr| OR: 53

20/1

Hinted at ability when with Roger Charlton but has something to find with the likes of Senorita Grande and Lincoln Red based on her final run for that yard at Doncaster in June. First run for new connections was a modest display; more needed here.

Form: 603386

Knockabout Queen¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Kieren Fox| T: A W Carroll| OR: 53| D

18/1

Winner of two sellers last year but regressive and been a downward spiral since tried in handicaps. Refused to race with cheekpieces applied on her penultimate start but wasn't beaten far without any applications last time. Still hard to recommend.

Form: 6094R7

Kadiz^p⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: Paul George| OR: 52

12/1

Last two starts were poor efforts over a mile so possible the drop in trip will suit. However, she's been off since June and has form to reverse with the likes of Miss Cargar if she's going to break her maiden at the seventeenth time of asking.

Form: 234600

(3)

Brother Bentley^p¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Raul Da Silva| T: R Harris| OR: 52| D

12/1

Winner over this trip at Chepstow in May but had no joy in six starts since; has a bit to find with Miss Gargar and Maid Millie from last time out too. Well drawn but needs a lot to go his way.

Form: 500606

(2)

Twilighting¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: H Candy| OR: 48| BF

7/2

Well backed on handicap debut at Chelmsford earlier this month but found little and was 4L behind Maid Mille and the eventual winner on that occasion. Also disappointed last time but the weights allow a chance to redeem herself; but risk attached.

Form: 98746

Frow^p1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: D Donovan| OR: 45

22/1

Out of the handicap and Irish form is a real mixed bag. Best effort when fourth of 15 at Tipperary in June but below that level twice since. Worth a betting check as a long distance traveler but others are stronger propositions for win only punts.

Forecasts

Maid Millie (5/2), Twilighting (7/2), Miss Gargar (5/1), Salmon Fishing (6/1), Senorita Grande (8/1), Brother Bentley (12/1), Kadiz (12/1), Lincoln Red (16/1), Knockabout Queen (18/1), Chop Chop (20/1), Frow (22/1), Grandstand (33/1)

A tough one to call but MISS CARGAR has run with a lot of promise since switched back to the AW and, having held off a late rattle from Maid Mille over C&D last time, the filly could take some pegging back in her bid to finally rid herself of the maiden tag. Maid Millie has form that ties in with Twilighting and both merit consideration as alternatives if the betting market goes against the selection for any reason, while Senorita Grande also appeals as one to keep a close eye on in the betting market. Irish raider Frow has a bit to prove but has snippets of form which would justify any each-way support.
