Snowdon^p²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Dods| OR: 71

10/1

Ran creditably when third on return here in June, but not at her best since, most recently when eighth of 12 to Skerryvore over 1¼m here. Takes a drop in class here, but stamina for this longer trip not assured.

Form: 22-3868

Soloist^b⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: P Mulrennan| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 72| CD

4/1

Showed improved form when winning off 4lb lower in a C&D handicap on her penultimate start, and far from discredited when 3¼L fourth of 8 to Art of Diplomacy at Hamilton last time. Considered again.

Form: 772714

Sashenka¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: L P Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 72

7/2

Won a 7f AW maiden in June, but stepped up in trip since, and showed better form when 1¼L fourth of 7 to Imperium on her first try at 1½m at Kempton last time. Now on a fair mark, and can get involved.

Form: 221864

First Dance¹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: J P Sullivan| T: T P Tate| OR: 64

5/1

Hold-up mare who can give herself plenty to do, as when a never-nearer fifth of 9 over C&D last time. Well treated on balance of form, but arguably best when granted a strong pace.

Form: 463425

Sweet Celebration²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 70

7/1

Twice runner-up in recent starts, but her second on handicap bow saw her beaten 6L, and while she was better than the result in maiden auction company last time, her mark still looks a little harsh.

Form: 55223

Bolt N Brown^e/c,t²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 64

9/1

Second at Yarmouth in June in this headgear, and back to form after a break when third of 6 to Sea Battle in a 1½m handicap at Lingfield last time. May get an easy lead again, but this stiffer track demands more.

Form: 339273

(5)

Sulafaat^p⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: Russell Harris⁽⁷⁾| T: R Menzies| OR: 53| C

4/1

Won an amateur event at Ripon on penultimate start, and placed here on either side of that success, most recently when an excellent ½L third of 10 to Beaufort over C&D a week ago. The one to beat on that effort.

Form: 750213

Forecasts

Sashenka (7/2), Sulafaat (4/1), Soloist (4/1), First Dance (5/1), Sweet Celebration (7/1), Bolt N Brown (9/1), Snowdon (10/1)

SULAFAAT has got solid recent form to her name, including over C&D, and looks a better bet than First Dance, who is handicapped to win, but seems reliant on getting a strong pace, and isn't assured that here. Soloist and Sashenka are best of the rest, and don't have much to find.
