Hyanna¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Georgia Dobie⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 94| D

8/1

Prevailed at Sandown (1m2f) two runs back where she was a neck in front at the finish. Could only come home sixth of 13 on her latest appearance at Newbury (1m2f). Down 1lb. Needs to produce more from this mark.

Form: 233616

Scentasia¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 97

5/1

Has been successful in two of her last three starts, including latest at Yarmouth (1m) where she scored by 4½L. Has gone up 10lb for her latest win but she remains open to improvement. Leading contender.

Form: 4-32151

Bubble And Squeak¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 90| C

25/1

Her only victory in 2019 came at Ascot over 1m back in May. She has featured in France on her last three outings without success, including latest when she was 10th of 12 at Cologne (1m1f). Others appeal more.

Form: 047460

Nkosikazi³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Cieren Fallon⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89

11/1

Has gone close on a couple of occasions this year, including when she was second of 10, beaten by just a neck, two starts back on the July Course here. Was disappointing last time on the AW at Lingfield (1m). Each-way claims.

Form: 690-224

Nearooz³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 91| C| D

12/1

Scored for the first time in handicap company on her previous start in a five runner contest at Lingfield (1m2f). She stayed on well at the finish last time to suggest there is more to come. Is up 4lb. One to consider.

Form: 1-12291

Geetanjali^v³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M L W Bell| OR: 85| BF| D

20/1

Was on a hat-trick bid last time at Bath (1m3½f) where she just failed, finishing second of five, beaten by a neck after going off as the 5/4 favourite. Has gone up 3lb but can't be discounted given her form.

Form: 553112

Ghaziyah⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: W J Haggas| OR: 88

8/1

Has prevailed in two of her last four starts so far, with wins coming at Thirsk and Chelmsford on the AW, both of which over 1m. Was fourth of five on her handicap debut last time at Goodwood (1m). Up in trip. Has to be respected.

Form: 7-114

Eva Maria¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 88| D

4/1

Lightly-raced filly who has won two of her four starts on the racecourse so far. Her latest success came over this distance at Ayr in a 12 runner field where she justified going off as the 9/4 favourite. Has gone up 6lb. One for the shortlist.

Form: 3121

(8)

Gallic¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: R L Moore| T: E Walker| OR: 87| D

12/1

Has scored twice on the AW but is 0-8 on turf. She was 12th of 15 last time at Yarmouth (1m2f) in a Listed race. This assignment is easier, however, others are preferred on this surface.

Form: 342210

(6)

Alemagna²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: D M Simcock| OR: 82

13/2

Broke her maiden at Goodwood (1m4f) two starts ago where she justified going off as the odds-on favourite at 10/11. Struggled last time at Haydock as she had just one rival behind her in a 12 runner field. Down in trip which may help.

Form: 4-4310

(14)

Torochica²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Kieren Fox| T: J R Best| OR: 81

16/1

Scored for the first time on the July Course here over 7f two outings ago. She was second of eight last time out at Chester (1m2½f) on what was her handicap debut. This is a tougher test so others are preferred.

Form: 7312

(5)

Alnaseem^h⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: L McJannet| OR: 81| BF

50/1

Prevailed here on the July Course two starts ago to break her maiden over 1m. Could not follow up at the same course over 7f as she was last of six runners. Needs to bounce back from her latest effort. Others make a greater appeal.

Form: 03216

(13)

Shrewdness³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 81| BF

20/1

Won on the AW at Wolverhampton (1m1½f) on her penultimate outing. Is still looking for her first turf success as she returns to this surface following a third place finish at Chelmsford (1m2f) last time. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 0-23213

(7)

Escape The City⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Morrison| OR: 74| D

12/1

Scored for the second time on turf at Brighton (1m2f) two runs ago. She was second of seven last time here in a seven runner contest over 1m1f. Is capable from this mark so can't ignore.

Form: 572312

Forecasts

Eva Maria (4/1), Scentasia (5/1), Alemagna (13/2), Ghaziyah (8/1), Hyanna (8/1), Nkosikazi (11/1), Gallic (12/1), Nearooz (12/1), Escape The City (12/1), Torochica (16/1), Shrewdness (20/1), Geetanjali (20/1), Bubble And Squeak (25/1), Alnaseem (50/1)

SCENTASIA has been impressive on both of her last two appearances on turf. She could continue to progress so take her to defy her 10lb rise in the weights and prevail over this new trip. Nearooz won nicely over this distance at Lingfield on her last appearance and she should go close to following up from a 4lb higher mark, while Eva Maria must enter your calculations as she has done little wrong so far on the track and is already a winner at this distance.
