Intense Romance^p1⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 100| CD

9/1

Rattled off a hat-trick towards the end of last year including a couple of wins in Listed company but well below her best in three starts this year. Getting back down towards a reasonable mark and this looks easier than some recent assignments.

Form: 111-660

(8)

Arecibo^v¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: D Tudhope| T: D O'Meara| OR: 100| D

4/1

Did very well to finish third of 22 in a competitive handicap at York last time out and has wins in France with some cut in the ground. Seemingly progressive at present and not one to rule out here.

Form: 812203

Camacho Chief^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Connor Beasley| T: M Dods| OR: 98| D

5/2

Useful soft ground performer who recorded a career best at Doncaster earlier in the campaign. Ran well on his sole start at this venue the time before but signs the handicapper has caught up with him on his recent efforts.

Form: 5-53160

(9)

Foolaad^t¹⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 9-6| J: R Winston| T: S R Bowring| OR: 94| D

11/1

Dangerous when allowed to dominate from the front but has gone a little off the boil on his latest three starts having only been narrowly denied at York. Has some form on soft ground and he's back below his last winning handicap mark.

Form: 372780

Maygold²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: L P Keniry| T: E Walker| OR: 90| D

4/1

Stayed on very well to win on soft ground at Salisbury back in June and showed she could be competitive from her revised handicap mark when third of 13 at Goodwood. Respectable effort in Listed class since and respected from this mark.

Form: 1-24135

(2)

She Can Boogie¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Kingscote| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 90| D

6/1

Heavy ground winner at Chester back in May but hasn't managed to build on that since. Well beaten at York last time and probably vulnerable in a competitive heat here.

Form: 312949

(3)

Broken Spear^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Stott| T: T Coyle & K Wood| OR: 90| D

7/1

Won twice last year but signs he hasn't trained on in three runs so far this campaign. Only beat one home on Tapeta debut at Wolverhampton last time out and looks vulnerable here.

Form: 451-336

Powerallied⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 8-12| J: Sean Davis⁽³⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 86| D

20/1

Gained a sixth win at Chester last time out when bouncing back to form but hasn't been as effective away from that venue. Vulnerable from 3lb higher in the weights here.

Form: 218081

Forecasts

Camacho Chief (5/2), Maygold (4/1), Arecibo (4/1), She Can Boogie (6/1), Broken Spear (7/1), Intense Romance (9/1), Foolaad (11/1), Powerallied (20/1), Somewhere Secret (25/1)

MAYGOLD acquitted herself well in what looked an above average fillies' Listed race last time out at Pontefract and she looks as if she could be well treated on her return to handicaps here. The progressive Arecibo is an obvious danger after an excellent third at York last time out while Intense Romance is interesting if the first-time cheekpieces can spark a return to her best.
