Madeleine Bond²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-13| J: Georgia Cox⁽³⁾| T: H Candy| OR: 71| BF| D

5/2

Hasn't won since three wins in 2017 and now 7lb lower. Inconsistent last year but proving more reliable of late and has had a few chances. Just touched off latest at Chepstown and suited by some give. Likely contender.

Form: 803752

Rapture³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: A Watson| OR: 72

11/4

Some promise in first two of thee starts without seeing out her races so far. Would need to improve off this opening mark on handicap debut but that's possible for an in form stable.

Form: 535

Zalpa⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans| OR: 72

33/1

Mixed form in seven starts in France, going close twice. Sold from Godolphin since for 23,000 gns and plenty to find on the bare form on handicap and stable debut.

Form: 6-62537

Perfect Showdance¹⁰⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: C G Cox| OR: 70

12/1

Went close on the AW last year but has struggled in three turf starts, including two tailed off efforts this year. Hard to fancy and best watched till a return to the AW.

Form: 92-90

(7)

Kyllachys Tale²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 62| D

11/4

Gained a fourth career win when winning at Chepstow in July and current 3lb higher mark is no issue on old form. Ran a close fifth at the same track last start, goes on any ground and a likely hope.

Form: 005175

(4)

Society Guest¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M R Channon| OR: 66

8/1

Remains a nine-race maiden and proving inconsistent so far. Capable but hard to know still what her best distance and conditions are and stable quiet at present.

Form: 255306

J'ouvert^h1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Jason Watson| T: P D Evans| OR: 61

33/1

Four-race maiden's form has regressed including when failing to beat a rival home on this month's stable debut. Not badly handicapped at all based on start number two but a big query as to whether she can reproduce that.

Form: 5296

(3)

Accomplice¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M Blanshard| OR: 54| D

7/1

12lb lower than last win but that came in April 2018 and an overall profile of two wins from 34 starts. Has gone close in a grade lower the last twice (including over this C&D) but the times were slow and this is tougher.

Form: 337343

Paco Dawn⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: L Morris| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

50/1

Remains a 10-race maiden and has rarely threatened to get into the money. Races 6lb out of this handicap and doesn't look up to this grade.

Form: 0/9-7090

Forecasts

Madeleine Bond (5/2), Kyllachys Tale (11/4), Rapture (11/4), Accomplice (7/1), Society Guest (8/1), Perfect Showdance (12/1), Vikivaki (12/1), J'ouvert (33/1), Zalpa (33/1), Paco Dawn (50/1)

MADELEINE BOND hasn't won for a while but comes here in for, has conditions to suit and surely another success isn't far away. Kyllachys Tale remains on a good mark and comes here off the back of another good run. Rapture is a likely improver on handicap debut for a strong stable in very good form.
