Maybe Today^p²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: R L Moore| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 92| D

7/1

Picked up her second win on turf last time when she prevailed at Windsor (1m4f) after staying on strongly inside the closing stages. Has gone up 4lb to a new career high mark, however, she remains a leading contender.

Form: 2-61341

Oh It's Saucepot¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C F Wall| OR: 87| D

4/1

Has a good strike-rate on turf with five wins from 13 starts. Is on a hat-trick bid here with her latest success coming at Yarmouth (1m3½f) after going off at 15/8 favourite. Has gone up 7lb. One for the shortlist.

Giving Glances²²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: A King| OR: 85| D

25/1

Dual-purpose filly who has won twice over hurdles this year. Her latest appearance came in a Grade 2 hurdle contest at Kempton (2m) where she was 10th of 12. Has to be respected on her return to the Flat.

Garrel Glen¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T P Queally| T: J M P Eustace| OR: 88| C

33/1

Scored here on her second career start over 7f. Has only raced four times since then. She was third of four over this C&D last time on her first start for her new yard. Needs to improve on what she has shown since joining handicap company.

Amourice¹³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 82| D

16/1

A two-time winner last year, with one of her successes coming here over 1m6f. Has been disappointing in her three appearances in 2019, including when she was fourth of five last time at Lingfield (1m3½f). Others appeal more.

Form: 854-054

Belisa³⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: P Hanagan| T: I Furtado| OR: 81| D

50/1

Starter her campaign in good form with two wins from her opening three starts. Has been below her best since then. She was at the rear of a four runner field on her latest attempt at Newcastle (1m4½f) on the AW. Down 2lb but more is needed.

Form: 1415P-4

Specialise³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 87

9/2

Has been consistent since joining handicapping. She scored at Lingfield (1m2f) on her handicap debut and has then finished second at Chelmsford (1m2f) on the AW at Haydock (1m2f) respectively. Remains off the same mark. Big player.

Lightening Dance^b¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: R Havlin| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 77| D

16/1

Scored at Newbury (1m4f) three runs ago. Almost followed up next time out at Goodwood (1m4f) where she was second of seven, beaten by a short-head. Was fourth of seven on her latest run at Yarmouth (1m3½f). More needed off this mark.

Form: 353124

Strelka²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 81| D

9/4

Got off the mark at the third attempt on her latest start at Kempton (1m4) on the AW after going off as the 1/4 favourite. Set for her handicap debut here on her return to turf. Is open to improvement. Big player.

Form: 221

Melburnian²²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-6| J: Tom Marquand| T: A J Martin| OR: 74| D

6/1

A winner in France but has yet to score in the UK or Ireland. Was fourth of 14 last time at Listowel (1m4f) where she was only beaten by 2L. Not to be ignored as she looks capable off this mark.

Form: 1-45364

(3)

Koduro¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: A Mullen| T: K R Burke| OR: 80

66/1

Lightly-raced filly who won on her second start at Carlilse (7f). She was last of 12 runners on her return to action following over a year off the track at Ayr (1m2f) on her latest appearance. Needs to prove her stamina over this trip.

Form: 514-0

(13)

Colony Queen¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-0| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: S Gollings| OR: 69

40/1

Scored for the third time this year at Sandown (1m2f) last time out by ¾L. Has been raised 2lb in the weights to a new career high mark and is up in distance. Others make more of an appeal here.

Forecasts

Strelka (9/4), Oh It's Saucepot (4/1), Specialise (9/2), Melburnian (6/1), Maybe Today (7/1), Ahorsewithnoname (10/1), Lightening Dance (16/1), Amourice (16/1), Giving Glances (25/1), Garrel Glen (33/1), Colony Queen (40/1), Belisa (50/1), Koduro (66/1)

STRELKA has looked smart in all three of her racecourse appearances so far and following her maiden success at Kempton last time, she can follow up here on her handicap debut. Maybe Today is now up to a career high mark after her success over this distance at Windsor but another bold effort can be expected, while Oh It's Saucepot will need to produce more here but should finish in the frame on her hat-trick bid.
