Miss Icon¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 61| D

6/4

Picked up her second win three runs back at Chepstow (7f). Has gone close to following that up on her latest two appearances, including over that same C&D where she was second of 12. Up 2lb here but is a big player still.

Form: 99/9122

Silverturnstogold²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 60| BF

4/1

is 0-6 on turf, however, he has been successful on the AW. He went really close here last time when he was second of eight, beaten a short-head. Remains off the same mark but down in trip slightly. One to consider.

Cookupastorm²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jacob Clark⁽⁷⁾| T: Martin Smith| OR: 62

33/1

Scored early in her career at Newbury (6f) but has not followed up since then. Her form this season has largely been poor, including latest when she was last of 10 on the AW at Lingfield (5f) on first run for new yard. Needs to improve.

Soaring Spirits^b²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 9-2| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁵⁾| T: D K Ivory| OR: 55| CD

16/1

A C&D winner who often produced his best performances at this track. His latest outing came at Nottingham (6f) where he was sixth of 13. Back up in trip now off a 2lb lower mark. Others preferred on the basis of current form.

Penwood²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Tuite| OR: 54

20/1

Remains a maiden after seven starts. Returned to action over this C&D last month in what was her first run of the year where she could only finish fourth of six. Likely to come on for that outing. One to watch.

Joyful Dream^b⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan⁽³⁾| T: J Butler| OR: 52| BF| CD

11/2

Experienced mare who has won just once in 44 starts., that success came over this C&D two runs ago. She returned to action here over 1m last time where she finished third of nine. Back down in trip so she is one for the shortlist.

Form: 225913

Penarth Pier¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 56

10/1

Her sole success came on the AW at Wolverhampton (6f) in August 2018. She was fourth of 12 last time at Chelmsford (7f), beaten 3¼L. Down 2lb here to a new career low mark so she has to be respected.

Form: 893664

Paddy's Pursuit¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 56

10/1

Still looking for his opening win after seven attempts. He ran well on his latest start at Epsom (7f) when finishing fifth of 14 after going off at 50/1. Down 1lb here which will help, however, others are preferred.

Form: 475065

Rivas Rob Roy¹⁰⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: H Crouch| T: J Gallagher| OR: 50| CD

14/1

A C&D winner here in 2018. Has been busy this year without success. Could only come home 10th of 13 last time at this track over 1m. Back down in trip in this contest to a new career low mark. Needs to improve on recent form.

Stoneyford Lane^b²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: R Ffrench| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 46

20/1

Is on a long losing stretch as his last success came in August 2017 at Bath (5f). His last outing was on the AW at Lingfield (7f) where he was fifth of 14, beaten 3¾L. Others makes more of an appeal here.

Form: 007005

Formally²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Raul Da Silva| T: A W Carroll| OR: 46

50/1

Has struggled in all three of his starts so far, including last time where he was last of seven at Lingfield (7f) on the AW when going off at 100/1. Making his handicap debut here but is hard to fancy on what he has shown so far.

Form: 0-89

Jagerbond^b¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Ryan Powell| T: A Crook| OR: 45

40/1

Has been a long way down the field recently over longer distances than this, including last time when 10th of 12 at Beverley (1m2f). Is down 6lb now but this trip may be a little too sharp for him so others stand out more.

Form: 380700

Yfenni³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: L Morris| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

33/1

Hit the frame on his latest start at Lingfield (7½f) where she finished third of 11. Still looking for her opening success after 14 starts, seven of which have come on turf. Down 5lb to this new career low mark. Others are preferred.

Form: 704753

Tintern Spirit⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Rhiain Ingram⁽⁵⁾| T: J M Bradley| OR: 45

100/1

Has shown no real signs of breaking her maiden in her 14 starts. She came home at the rear of the field last time in a eight runner field at Chelmsford (7f) on the AW. It is very difficult to make a case for her.

Forecasts

Miss Icon (6/4), Silverturnstogold (4/1), Joyful Dream (11/2), Harry Beau (6/1), Penarth Pier (10/1), Paddy's Pursuit (10/1), Rivas Rob Roy (14/1), Soaring Spirits (16/1), Stoneyford Lane (20/1), Penwood (20/1), Reshaan (20/1), Yfenni (33/1), Cookupastorm (33/1), Jagerbond (40/1), Formally (50/1), Tintern Spirit (100/1)

MISS ICON is in great form at the moment over this distance and she can make up for losing out by just a neck last time to record her second success in four starts. Silverturnstogold did very little wrong on his latest start and a repeat of that run at this same course over this shorter distance will see him in contention once again at the finish, while Joyful Dream scored over this C&D two runs ago and has to be respected again despite being off a 6lb higher mark now.
