Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 86| D

12/1

Joined current yard in May last year from Dermot Weld and did very well, winning four times including off 86 with fourth win of the term at Wolverhampton last October. Back to last winning mark but hasn't shone on first two starts this campaign.

In-form yard has 19% strike-rate here. 2-9 as a juvenile last season winning course 5f maiden and Chester 6f nursery as well as going close on a number of other outings. First start after 304-day absence but stable can get them ready first time.

Dancing Feet^p1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 87| D

6/1

Won February 6f Wolverhampton novice auction and followed up in similar 7f event at Kempton. Outclassed in two runs in Listed company this summer but this looks more feasible and wouldn't surprise to see her in the mix in first-time cheekpieces.

Form: 4-1170

Second Collection¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Tom Marquand| T: A W Carroll| OR: 80| CD

7/2

In good form first half of last year winning four times, including over C&D off 79 last June. Eights starts without joy since then but failed by only a head when finishing well here over 5f latest. Step back up in trip will suit off 2lb higher.

Form: 637382

Mountain Brave¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 84| D

6/1

Progressive Sepoy filly who is 3-7 and landed gutsy 6f victory at Leicester last time having always been prominent. 4lb higher now but entitled to be bang there if in similar mood. Stable companion of Dream Kart.

Theotherside²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hannon| OR: 81| CD

11/8

Unexposed daughter of Dandy Man who has won 2 of her 3 starts to date. Made winning handicap debut here over 5f last time where stayed on well. Won Newbury 6f maiden on debut so trip poses no problem but has gone up 6lb.

Form: 1-31

Dawning¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Meade| OR: 76

18/1

Popped up at 33/1 on second run in 7f Chelmsford novice stakes last November but hasn't shown much in two outings this summer and was last of 16 in York h'cap earlier in the month. Eased 2lb but appears to face a stiff task.

Form: 01-60

Forecasts

Theotherside (11/8), Second Collection (7/2), Mountain Brave (6/1), Dancing Feet (6/1), Betsey Trotter (12/1), Dawning (18/1), Dream Kart (20/1)

MOUNTAIN BRAVE won in pleasing fashion recently at Leicester and a similar effort would give here every chance of following up. Her stable remains in fine form. The selection's stable companion Dream Kart did well last season but has been off for 10 months so the market could prove informative with regard to her readiness on this first run back. Theotherside is the dark horse of the race having won 2-3 and being open to plenty more improvement. She looks a big danger, while the drop in class and first-time cheekpeces may prompt better from Dancing Feet. Second Collection will be thereabouts having gone close here over 5f and the return to 6f looks a good call.
