Dyagilev^b¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: A McCarthy| T: Mrs L Pearce| OR: 52

6/1

Back to form on recent starts, twice making the frame before landing a 1¼m handicap at Chalmsford last time. Full value for that success, and return to 1½m should pose no problems.

Form: 007341

Passing Clouds²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Kieren Fox| T: M J Attwater| OR: 51

6/1

Seemed to improve when fourth in the face of a stiff task here (1m3f) two starts back, and confirmed that to a large degree when 2¼ lengths third of 14 to Banta Bay in a C&D handicap last time. Should be in the mix if running to a similar level.

Form: 405443

Sweet Nature^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: George Downing| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 50

66/1

Kept on late when seventh of 14 in a C&D handicap early last month, but ran badly despite a better break here next time, and questions to answer now.

Form: 305470

(2)

Ramatuelle^b⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 55

25/1

Off the mark on her final start in a selling handicap for Sir Mark Prescott at Brighton last month, and while it's easy to see the change of yard as a negative, the jockey booking tends to negate that concern.

Form: 053631

(9)

Dimmesdale^p1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Liam Jones| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 50

16/1

Finished third at Bath in May, but still beaten a fair way there, and has run badly on both subsequent starts. Cheekpieces reached for now, and has plenty to prove.

Form: 758300

(1)

Percy's Prince^p³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 55| C

11/4

Winner of a 2m handicap here on penultimate start in cheekpieces, he ran to a similar level when fourth over the same trip here last time. Drops in trip on first start since leaving Sir Mark Prescott, and debatable if that's what he needs.

Form: 440514

(7)

Alramz¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: L Carter| OR: 53

16/1

Not disgraced on penultimate start at Sandown (1¾m, soft) but well held again last time, and his current profile is not an appealing one.

Form: 50-6750

(11)

Foresee³⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Rob Hornby| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48| D

8/1

Ran creditably when third at Southwell in May, and now a whopping 10lb lower. Long way below that form in recent starts, and needs to build markedly on his latest fifth of 13 to Sea Art at Bath when failing to justify market support.

Form: 635765

(3)

Mistress Nellie²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 48| BF

8/1

Plenty of placed efforts to her name, but remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Bit below form when fifth of 13 in a 1m3½f handicap at Yarmouth on latest start, but solid place claims on balance of form.

Form: 327825

(4)

Born To Reason^b¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 48| D

9/1

Mostly creditable efforts this year, and again ran with credit when third of 16 to Dyagilev over 1¼m at Chelmsford last time. Should be thereabouts once again.

Form: 174023

(13)

Famous Dynasty²³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Charlie Bennett| T: M Blanshard| OR: 48| CD

16/1

One of his two lifetime wins has come over C&D, and excuses when a below-form sixth of 13 in a heavy-ground 1m3½f handicap at Yarmouth last time. Better prospects back on an artificial surface.

Form: 050836

(8)

Picture Poet³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: H Spiller| OR: 53| BF

12/1

Remains a maiden after 17 starts and although he has largely been running respectably this year, he needs to raise his game to get off the mark.

Form: 427545

(14)

Snow Leopard⁹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Raul Da Silva| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51

40/1

Quite well bred son of Mount Nelson, but finished nearer last than first in three starts for John Joseph Murphy in Ireland. Handed a basement mark, but needs to show more before he can be supported.

Form: 580

Forecasts

Percy's Prince (11/4), Passing Clouds (6/1), Dyagilev (6/1), Foresee (8/1), Mistress Nellie (8/1), Born To Reason (9/1), Picture Poet (12/1), Alramz (16/1), Famous Dynasty (16/1), Dimmesdale (16/1), Ramatuelle (25/1), Kerrera (25/1), Snow Leopard (40/1), Sweet Nature (66/1)

An interesting clash featuring a couple of recent throw-outs from Sir Mark Prescott's yard, and both Ramatuelle and Percy's Prince are bound to attract support, but the shorter trip is not sure to suit the latter, and PASSING CLOUDS is suggested as an alternative, especially if he can control the pace. Mistress Nellie has solid place claims, for all she's hard to win with.
