Mia Diva²⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 75| D

6/4

Won a novice stakes (over 5f) at Catterick in July and also went close when attempting to give weight away in a similar race at Hamilton shortly after. Faced stiff tests in two 6f handicaps since but this is a significant ease in grade. Chance.

Form: 51200

Allez Sophia¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74| BF

11/4

Held when second to a well-bred type over C&D in June but consistent since; did disappoint as a well backed favourite on her handicap debut at Chepstow but didn't handle the undulations. Good chance back at a course that she's already handled well.

Airbrush¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 69

6/1

Shown some improvement since stepping into handicaps but failed to make the most of what looked a decent opportunity when second at Brighton on her penultimate start; also has previous form to reverse with Allez Sophia.

Form: 37523

Execlusive^b1¹⁹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: Adam J McNamara| T: A Watson| OR: 69| CD

16/1

C&D winner on handicap debut in July but well below that standard in three starts since; 2lb better off with Airbrush from last time out but was short of pace that day and still has a bit to find.

Form: 841505

Newyorkstateofmind¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 68

4/1

Debut run was modest but showed definite promise on his second start when he finished runner up at Windsor; but that form isn't working out; and also disconcerting he was a well held second of three last time. Needs to improve on handicap debut.

Form: 622

(6)

Tilly Tamworth¹³

Age: 2| Weight: 8-4| J: F Norton| T: B R Millman| OR: 58

16/1

Not progressed much since her introduction at Windsor in May; unable to sustain a challenge on her handicap debut at the start of this this month and even the 2lb lower mark isn't enough to suggest she's about to turn the corner.

Form: 4485

Mia Diva (6/4), Allez Sophia (11/4), Newyorkstateofmind (4/1), Airbrush (6/1), Tilly Tamworth (16/1), Execlusive (16/1)

ALLEZ SOPHIA was pulled out of a better looking race than this at Salisbury on Friday and the hint is taken that the Bonnie Grey filly has been placed to better effect in this weaker company. That said, Mia Diva is down in grade after finding Class 2 company (and possibly 6f) too hot to handle the last twice; so she too has to merit serious consideration. Handicap debutante Newyorkstateofmind has also shown some promise and is another to bear in mind. Airbrush has already finished ahead of Execlusive and is taken to do the same despite being 2lb worse off - from last time - with that particular rival.
