Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: J P Sullivan| T: Mrs Dianne Sayer| OR: 55

4/1

On a hat-trick after taking advantage of a reduced mark to win over further. Up 5lb just question as to whether the drop in trip is suitable.

Isabella Ruby^p,h¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: L Williamson| OR: 47

Tilsworth Diamond¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Murphy| OR: 45

20/1

Inconsistent maiden in six starts so far switches to handicaps and she needs to progress off this opening mark. Heavy ground though is a plus.

Billiebrookedit^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: Jane Elliott| T: K Frost| OR: 45

5/1

21-race maiden doesn't look particularly well handicapped at present and needs to raise his game. Testing conditions are a positive.

Jackman¹⁰⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Barry McHugh| T: L R James| OR: 45

Eight-race maiden finished completely tailed off when last seen in July and needs enormous improvement to be anywhere near competitive.

Forecasts

My Valentino (4/1), Billiebrookedit (5/1), Cosmic Chatter (6/1), Moonlit Sands (7/1), Someone Exciting (7/1), Alfred The Grey (8/1), Naples Bay (9/1), Hummingbird (16/1), Isabella Ruby (16/1), Tilsworth Diamond (20/1), Yorkshire Rover (25/1), Jackman (125/1)

My Valentino arrives bidding for a hat-trick of wins and while the drop in trip isn't ideal, he's hard to rule out in a race really lacking depth. COSMIC CHATTER is taken to bounce back to form in conditions that are ideal and take advantage of a low mark. Tilsworth Diamond shaped well on her previous start on heavy and could be one to show some improvement.
