Music Therapist¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Bentley| T: George Scott| OR: 77

6/1

Scored at Chepstow (6f) last time to break his maiden on what was his handicap debut where he justified going off as the 11/8 favourite. Has gone up 6lb and will need to concede weight all around. One to consider though as he looks to follow up.

Form: 5421

Dark Silver¹²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: E Walker| OR: 75

9/4

Produced his best performance yet last time at Yarmouth (6f) when he came home second of 10 runners, beaten by 1L. Goes up 2lb in the weights and is down in trip on his return to the AW. Others are preferred.

Form: 934622

Mia Diva¹⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 74| BF| D

13/2

Was a winner at Catterick (5f) on the second start of her career. Was fancied to do well last time at Bath (5f) where she could only finish third of six after going off as the 6/4 favourite. Down 1lb but others appeal more.

Chasanda^h²⁶

Age: 2| Weight: 9-6| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 74| BF| D

20/1

Made the perfect start to her career, winning at Windsor on her debut over 5f. Was disappointing last time at Lingfield (5f) as she was at the rear of the four runners. Capable of bouncing back here off this same mark.

Form: 440424

Too Hard To Hold¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-4| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 72| D

9/2

Broke his maiden at Musselburgh (5f) last month. Has been unable to add to that in three starts since, however, he did run well on his latest start at Chelmsford (5f) where he was third of six, beaten 1¾L. One for the shortlist.

Form: 631353

Swinley³²

Age: 2| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Hughes| OR: 71

12/1

Showed some promise when he was second of nine at Windsor (5f), beaten by a head back in June. He has struggled since joining handicap company though, including latest outing where he was last of five runners at Sandown (5f). Needs to improve.

Form: 425455

Newyorkstateofmind⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 8-13| J: M Dwyer| T: W R Muir| OR: 67

4/1

Remains a maiden after five starts, however, he went very close to his opening win last time at Lingfield (5f) on the AW where he was second of nine, beaten by a neck. Down 1lb so he has a great chance of his first win here.

Form: 62262

Falconidae¹⁴

Age: 2| Weight: 8-10| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

20/1

Still looking for her opening win after six runs. She was fourth of six on her latest effort at Chepstow (6f) Has been eased 3lb in the weights and is down in trip. She needs to improve in order to be in the mix here.

Form: 465064

(9)

Fair Sabra¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 59

50/1

Has been a long way down the field in all three of her appearance so far. She had just one horse behind her last time at this course over 6f in a 10 runner field field. Makes her handicap debut but much more is needed from her.

Form: 569

Forecasts

Dark Silver (9/4), Newyorkstateofmind (4/1), Too Hard To Hold (9/2), Music Therapist (6/1), Mia Diva (13/2), Swinley (12/1), Falconidae (20/1), Chasanda (20/1), Fair Sabra (50/1)

NEWYORKSTATEOFMIND was only denied by a neck last time at Lingfield on the AW and off a 1lb lower mark here, he can break his maiden at the sixth time of asking. Music Therapist is looking to follow up from his success at Chepstow and he should go close again here, even if he does have to concede weight all round, while take Too Hard To Hold to finish in the frame as he performed well over this distance on the AW at Wolverhampton on his latest start.
