Blessed To Empress^v⁴⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Sean Kirrane⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 66| C

22/1

Picked up her second win of the year two starts ago over this C&D. She was unable to follow it up last time when she was back on turf at Brighton (7f), finishing fifth of six runners. One to think about as she returns to the AW.

Form: 782715

Letsbe Avenue^b³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S M Levey| T: R Hannon| OR: 65| D

9/2

Has yet to score in 2019, although his recent performances have been much better, including latest at Kempton (1m) where he was third of 12 runners. Remains off the same mark. One for the shortlist.

My Amigo^p¹³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 65

3/1

Is a three-time winner on turf but is 0-7 on the AW. He has not been too far away on his last two starts, with his latest effort coming at Southwell (1m) where he was fourth of 14. Gone up 1lb in the weights. Has each-way claims.

Form: 000024

Beepeecee¹⁹⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: S W Kelly| T: T Gallagher| OR: 63| CD

33/1

A C&D winner whose last success was in March 2018 at Wolverhampton (1m1½f). Makes a return to action here for the first time since finishing eighth of 12 at Kempton (1m) back in April. Best to watch for now.

Form: 55-4468

Sea Battle¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 65

8/1

Broke his maiden on the AW at Lingfield (1m4f) three runs ago. Has struggled to follow that up in two starts since then. Taking a step down in distance now where he will need to prove himself. Others are preferred.

Form: 03-5186

Zefferino^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: George Wood| T: M R Bosley| OR: 61| D

6/1

Has been running well recently. He scored at Bath (1m) on his penultimate start, while last time, he was only 1L away in third place of 12 over this C&D. Remains off the same mark. One to consider.

Form: 546313

Harry Beau^t,v⁵⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: P D Evans| OR: 61

16/1

Is on a long losing stretch now which goes back to July 2018. Has finished close by on his last three starts, including latest effort at Lingfield (6f) where he was third of six. Down 1lb in the weights. One to think about.

Form: 545233

Sunvisor²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: W R Muir| OR: 62

25/1

Showed some promise on just his second career start when he finished second of 13 at Wolverhampton (1m½f). Has struggled this year though as he has only beaten one horse in his last three runs. Hard to fancy on recent form.

Form: 520-009

(10)

Toybox^p²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 62

12/1

Her sole success came on the AW at Kempton (7f) in October 2018. She has fallen down the weights this year following some disappointing performances, including latest when she was eighth of 10 at Sandown (1m2f). Others are preferred.

Form: 774538

(8)

Ifton²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 61

7/1

Remains a maiden after 12 starts. He was second of 13 at Yarmouth (1m) three runs ago but will need to bounce back from his recent effort at Newbury (7f) where he was sixth of nine. Capable off this mark.

Gennaro^p1,h,t³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 58

22/1

Still looking for his first win after eight runs. He has failed to beat a single rival on his last two appearances. He was at the rear of an eight runner field at Epsom (1m½f) last time. Cheekpieces are on for the first time. Hard to fancy.

Form: 8-27878

(7)

Parknacilla^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁷⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 57| CD

4/1

Is on for a hat-trick here following two successes over this C&D. Is now 5lb higher in the weights, however, she stayed on strongly in the closing stages last time to suggest there could be more to come. Big player.

Forecasts

My Amigo (3/1), Parknacilla (4/1), Letsbe Avenue (9/2), Zefferino (6/1), Ifton (7/1), Sea Battle (8/1), French Twist (10/1), Toybox (12/1), Harry Beau (16/1), Gennaro (22/1), Blessed To Empress (22/1), Sunvisor (25/1), Beepeecee (33/1)

PARKNACILLA is bidding for a hat-trick of wins over this C&D and she should be backed to get it. She clearly enjoys it around here so a 5lb rise in the weights might not be enough to stop her. Zefferino was third over this C&D last time and only went down by 1L so off the same mark as that run, he is likely to be close by one again, while Letsbe Avenue can finish in the frame as his performances have been positive recently without success.
