Pennywhistle^t1²¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 87| D

6/1

Picked up for 130,000 gns from Godolphin in December having improved throughout 2019 without actually winning. Her Pontefract form looks particularly strong and this rider/trainer combination have a 24% strike rate on AW. Goes well fresh.

Form: 63/2323-

Adelante³⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: George Baker| OR: 87| CD

8/1

Made the frame in a couple of European Listed races in 2019 and that has done little for her handicap mark. Faces a stiff task judged on her efforts in this country.

Form: 23480-5

Caustic Love¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 86| D

15/8

All four of her successes have come on stiff tracks and last two victories have been over a mile. Needs another career best off this mark so she has some tough questions to answer.

Form: 42168-1

Starlight Romance^p1³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs L Stubbs| OR: 85| D

7/1

Had been thriving in her new environment until a sub-standard effort last month. Cheekpieces on this time and questionable she can find the required improvement.

Form: 60-3125

(1)

Second Collection^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: F Norton| T: A W Carroll| OR: 81| C

6/1

Has two wins and two seconds on her last four visits here. Can get worked up in the preliminaries and not totally proven at the trip. Best form has been in lower grades than this and others preferred.

Form: 146-363

(2)

Lorton²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: P Mulrennan| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 80

6/1

Dual winner on turf who has yet to make the frame on AW. New mark and stronger handling point to an improved showing this time and so she cannot be entirely dismissed.

Form: 2558-54

(3)

Dancing Rave^p⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: S A Gray| T: D O'Meara| OR: 75| CD

7/1

Has made giant strides since the fitting of cheekpieces and had a fair bit in hand when scoring here last week. Taking on better horses this evening but her speed figures suggest she is not out of her depth.

Form: 24-5131

Forecasts

Caustic Love (15/8), Lorton (6/1), Pennywhistle (6/1), Second Collection (6/1), Starlight Romance (7/1), Dancing Rave (7/1), Adelante (8/1)

Pennywhistle showed some useful form for John Gosden and looks interesting for a trainer/jockey combination who are highly profitable to follow on AW circuits. She goes well fresh and is worth checking in the market, but preference is for DANCING RAVE who appeared to have more in hand than the neck margin suggested here last week and a 2lb rise looks most generous. Lorton is not ruled out having been apprentice ridden on her last two starts and having dropped to an attractive mark. This may be an insufficient test for Caustic Love, whilst Second Collection may find a few of these too strong.
