Lucy's Law^p1²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: T P Tate| OR: 54| C

33/1

Yet to add to sole win over a mile here back in 2016 and proving inconsistent this campaign. Poor efforts the last twice and others preferred.

Form: 360500

My Renaissance^b,t¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 9-7| J: Jane Elliott⁽³⁾| T: S England| OR: 54| D

100/1

Back to winning ways over fences last month and returns to this sphere potentially well handicapped. Would prefer a slightly stiffer test but hard to rule out in this grade.

Form: 57/78-03

About Glory^t,v¹⁰^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Allan| T: I Jardine| OR: 49| D

6/1

Completely turned around his form with back-to-back wins over this trip at Bath. Up 4lb but potentially still ahead of the handicapper and has shaped well on both previous AW starts. Rates a leading contender.

Form: 070011

(14)

Corked⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: P J McDonald| T: A C Whillans| OR: 52| BF| D

14/1

Frustrating that she's only won once from 31 starts despite a much reduced mark. Racing to a consistent level on her last three runs and place possibilities once again.

Form: 660733

Laqab⁴⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mathers| T: D Shaw| OR: 51| CD

33/1

Yet to add to C&D maiden win back in 2016 and continues to struggle to get into the money. Needs to lift on his recent run of moderate efforts.

Form: 008775

(13)

Silk Mill Blue⁵⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Phil Dennis| T: R M Whitaker| OR: 50| C

33/1

Just 1lb higher than his last win over a mile here but that came in a lesser grade and his best runs of late have come in selling company. Likely to find a few too strong again.

Form: 8-95502

(9)

Ritchie Star⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: A Mullen| T: B Haslam| OR: 55

14/1

Seven-race maiden has failed to progress from the promise at this track on his second start. Needs to find improvement but the return to this surface a possible plus.

Form: 4-97256

(12)

Melabi¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: J Garritty| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 49| D

66/1

Infrequent winner scored at Beverley two starts back but subsequently disappointing at Wolverhampton. Remains inconsistent and hard to predict and to place in nine AW starts.

Form: 0-52917

(11)

Poetic Legacy⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 48| D

1/1

Things have started to click the last twice with a narrow third and then a breakthrough win over this trip at Chelmsford. Won in good style and has more to offer at this distance off a 6lb penalty that leaves her 3lb well in.

Form: 05-8531

(7)

Tails I Win^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 53

12/1

Remains a 14-race maiden who hasn't been far away a few times but isn't progressing. Her last start second would put her in the mix here but likely to find one or two too good again.

Form: 344572

(1)

Kodi Koh⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Rowan Scott⁽³⁾| T: S G West| OR: 47| CD

18/1

Sole win came over this C&D off this mark and the surface clearly suits. Form has been hard to predict of late and while she's capable, she's hard to predict.

Form: 570255

(3)

Point Of Honour^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: P Mulrennan| T: Phillip Makin| OR: 46

7/1

Remains a maiden after 15 starts and continued his consistent run of form for Ruth Carr with two solid efforts for new stable. Proving hard to win with but shouldn't be far away.

Form: 594832

(4)

Cottingham²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: L Morris| T: K Frost| OR: 46

20/1

10-race maiden hasn't built on his early promise for Amanda Perrett. Needs to improve on his last two starts but place possibilities.

Form: 558-364

(6)

Sils Maria^h²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: Mrs A Duffield| OR: 51

125/1

Well held in three starts so far and at lengthy odds the last twice. Fair amount of improvement required on handicap debut. Others look stronger candidates.

Form: 3-46

Forecasts

Poetic Legacy (1/1), About Glory (6/1), Point Of Honour (7/1), Tails I Win (12/1), Corked (14/1), Ritchie Star (14/1), Kodi Koh (18/1), Cottingham (20/1), Silk Mill Blue (33/1), Lucy's Law (33/1), Laqab (33/1), Melabi (66/1), My Renaissance (100/1), Sils Maria (125/1)

POETIC LEGACY is a filly on the rise and could take some stopping under a penalty for her leading connections. About Glory is the clear danger and likewise is rapidly improving as he bids for a hat-trick. My Renaissance arrives in form from the jumps and on a good handicap mark.
