Comeonfeeltheforce^t⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁵⁾| T: L Carter| OR: 65| CD

14/1

7L winner over 7f here in June but raised 11lb for that and has struggled to make an impact off this higher mark and others preferred again.

Form: 241666

The Great Phoenix⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 65

33/1

Looked harshly treated ahead of handicap debut last month and was tailed off over 6f. Now up 2f and down 4lb but hard to make a case for.

Form: 506-0

Kodiac Lass^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁷⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 64

9/1

Wolverhampton 7f winner in April but hasn't really built on that and two recent efforts at this haven't convinced that he stays and he was a bit too keen on both occasions.

Form: 076555

Magic Shuffle¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: F Brennan| OR: 63| D

8/1

Sprang a 50/1 shock at Bath the last time he was seen at this trip and having tried 1m4f last time, this drop back in trip makes him of interest with Kirby booked.

Form: 313330

Gregorian Girl²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Dwyer| T: D K Ivory| OR: 63| C

10/1

Solid placed efforts off similar marks at shorter trips and if the extra furlong brings about any improvement could again make the frame in a fairly ordinary contest.

Form: 042223

Rosamour^b¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Rooke⁽⁷⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 62| D

10/1

Best form has been at this trip and returned to that when second in bunch finish at Brighton last time. Third home has already franked the form and should play a leading role.

Havana Sunset³⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 62| BF

33/1

Stand out effort when going from the front on third run last October when second over 7f but failed to build on that only run since and absent for 11 months so bit to prove now.

Form: 8726-

Dancing Jo^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M R Channon| OR: 61| C| D

7/1

Pair of wins on the AW during the winter but generally struggling of late and more exposed than most of these so passed over tonight.

Form: 876706

Basilisk²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Jason Watson| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 61| D

11/8

Still looked in need of experience but off the mark on first run in a handicap under positive tactics at Ffos Las recently. Should have a fair bit more to come and 3lb rise pretty fair.

Form: 0-951

(13)

Astral Girl²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: H Morrison| OR: 59

14/1

Little form in trio of maidens but shaped a bit better on handicap debut at Chelmsford over 1m2f and gave impression this drop down in distance could eke out a bit more progress so respected with positive jockey booking.

Form: 0046

Padura Brave^v³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Josephine Gordon| T: M D I Usher| OR: 59| CD

10/1

Duel winner here last autumn. Not quite in same form this term and patently failed to stay 1m2f on latest but more exposed than plenty of these.

Form: 596440

Moneta⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: David Probert| T: R Harris| OR: 54

25/1

Changed yards since last seen. Career best effort was on sole try at 1m here in March so return to it can only be a positive though form since is hit and miss.

Form: 448030

Mystical Jadeite^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 47

40/1

Regressive maiden tried at various trips and first time cheek pieces need to have a dramatic effect to figure here.

Forecasts

Basilisk (11/8), French Twist (11/2), Dancing Jo (7/1), Magic Shuffle (8/1), Kodiac Lass (9/1), Gregorian Girl (10/1), Padura Brave (10/1), Rosamour (10/1), Comeonfeeltheforce (14/1), Astral Girl (14/1), Moneta (25/1), Havana Sunset (33/1), The Great Phoenix (33/1), Mystical Jadeite (40/1)

BASILISK looked anything but the finished article when getting off the mark on handicap debut and it will be a surprise if there isn't more to come for his in-form yard. Astral Girl may be a threat on this drop down in distance while Rosamour is also respected with her Brighton second receiving a boost.
