15/8

Didn't pose much of a danger on debut when fifth of seven at Newmarket (1m; good to firm) in July. This is probably as competitive, and even coming from this source, she would need to considerably step up on that effort.

Form: 5

Malika I Jahan³⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: D R Lanigan

2/1

Not seen since last October when she finished sixth on debut in a decent contest at Newmarket (7f; good to firm). Now steps up in trip on seasonal reappearance and should play a part if retaining all the ability she showed on debut.

Form: 6-

Persuer¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S Donohoe| T: D M Simcock

11/8

Made seasonal return at Kempton (1m4f; standard to slow) when only finding the exciting Strelka too good. That form has since been franked by the fourth, and the form of her debut run reads particularly well. Major player for in-form yard.

Form: 6-2

Forecasts

Shauyra (10/11), Persuer (11/8), Lenya (15/8), Malika I Jahan (2/1), Thora (50/1)

After getting off the mark at the second attempt, Shauyra is respected. However, despite winning as she liked on the tapeta at Newcastle at the start of the month, that form is nothing special & she also has to concede a penalty to the rest of the field. Malika I Jahan is one of those who showed plenty of ability on her sole start, and although this is her first run in 344 days, she has a major chance on the strength of her debut effort when sixth at Newmarket. The selection is PURSUER though, who confirmed the promise of her debut run last season when sixth behind the likes of Mehdaayih & Fanny Logan when second on her seasonal return behind a similarly exciting sort.
