Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ben Robinson| T: B Ellison| D

8/11

Bumper winner who improved on promising Flat debut when winning a 1½m novice at Catterick last time by 4L. Sets the standard on that effort, and should improve further.

Arabellas Fortune⁷⁶¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S A Gray| T: Stef Keniry

100/1

Failed to beat a rival in two runs for James Ewart in 2017, and missed last year. Bred to stay, but makes no appeal on return from a lengthy absence for new yard.

Tranquil Storm⁷⁸

20/1

€380,000 yearling who had one run for David Simcock before being resold for 13,000 gns and joining Gavin Hernon in France. Has showed fair form there without winning, and comes into the reckoning on debut for a new yard now.

No Dress Rehearsal^h¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 67

12/1

She has been running to a fair and consistent level this year, ignoring a blip on handicap debut at Haydock. Not discredited when fourth of 12 to Verify in a 1¼m handicap at Windsor last time, and has fair claims with hood retained here.

Form: 74-2734

80/1

Second foal of an unraced half-sister to French 1m Listed winner Gwaihir and 5f-1m1½f winner Mombassa. Didn't show much on debut at Catterick (7f), and upped markedly in trip now.

7/4

Similar form in three starts since her debut, finishing 3¾L second of 6 to Hermosura in a 1½m handicap at Kempton last time. Doesn't to improve much to play a big part here.

Forecasts

Ahorsewithnoname (8/11), Vibrance (7/4), No Dress Rehearsal (12/1), Tranquil Storm (20/1), Strictly Legal (80/1), Arabellas Fortune (100/1)

Not much between a few of these on form, but only AHORSEWITHNONAME can be said to have a progressive profile, so she is taken to defy a penalty. Vibrance is just about the pick of the others, although No Dress Rehearsal and Tranquil Storm also have claims on the book.
