Blue Medici³⁷

10/1

Four-time winner in 2019 who got back on track when fourth of 10 in handicap at Sandown last month. Each-way claims if able to build on that, but the handicapper is probably in charge for now.

Amjaady^p¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: A Kirby| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76

6/1

Took a step back in the right direction returned to the all-weather when third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 33/1) 16 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 23-3093

(3)

Sashenka³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: L P Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 75

4/1

Dual AW winner in 2019 and has acquitted herself well back on turf on her last 3 starts, shaping better than the distance beaten suggested after racing closer to pace than ideal last time. Claims.

Form: 33-5457

(4)

Form: 41-0572

(8)

Hey Gracie²³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 69

14/1

Winner at Kempton in June. Ran respectably on turf/handicap debut when fifth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good to firm, 12/1) 23 days ago. Has work to do from this mark.

Form: 8-175

17/2

Last of 6 in handicap (100/1) at Ascot (16f, good) 33 days ago, no response when shaken up over 3f out. Return back to the AW should suit. Engaged 5.30 Lingfield Wednesday.

Form: 32-7636

(9)

Sandy Steve^t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Rob Hornby| T: S C Williams| OR: 67| C

9/1

Course winner. Ran respectably in a first-time tongue strap when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 7/2) 13 days ago. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 610-245

Forecasts

Sashenka (4/1), Champs De Reves (4/1), Amjaady (6/1), Red Secret (6/1), Casa Comigo (17/2), Road To Paris (17/2), Sandy Steve (9/1), Blue Medici (10/1), Hey Gracie (14/1)

Sylvester Kirk's SASHENKA gets the vote to strike having raced closer to the pace than ideal at Goodwood last time. Her mark eases a touch and she should be able to make her presence felt back on the AW. Previous course winner Sandy Steve heads up the list of dangers, along with Champs de Reves and Amjaady.
