13/2, bounced back to form when second of 8 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good) 21 days ago, headed entering final 1f. Shortlist material.

Sister Midnight¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: A Mullen| T: J S Goldie| OR: 75

40/1, shaped well from an easing mark when seventh of 15 in handicap at this course (9.2f, good to soft) 19 days ago, nearest at the finish. Can give another good account.

Form: 51-7507

(4)

Antico Lady³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: C Lee| T: M Dods| OR: 74| BF| CD

C&D winner. Latest win here in July. 11/4, below form when tenth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 31 days ago, headed over 2f out. Needs to bounce back.

Form: 56-3510

(2)

Kayewhykelly²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Hart| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 78| D

6/4

5/1, showed improved form to get off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 24 days ago, drawing clear final 1f being suited by the step up in trip. Handicapper has had his say.

Form: 3424-41

(5)

Divina Gloria⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K Stott| T: K A Ryan| OR: 75| D

16/1

Price rose to 230,000 gns as a yearling and overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Thirsk in August 2019. Shaped as if amiss on both starts this year and must improve on handicap bow.

Form: 1-08

(1)

True Believer³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 73

11/2

Disappointing when ninth of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 38 days ago, struggling 3f out. Needs to bounce back from a couple of below-par efforts to feature.

Form: 327-239

(8)

Sun Crystal²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: P Mathers| T: R A Fahey| OR: 64

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, shaped better than previously after 10 months off when fifth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (7f, good to firm) 29 days ago, needing stiffer test.

Form: 6550-5

(7)

Sienna Dream⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 8-5| J: Andrew Breslin⁽⁵⁾| T: A C Whillans| OR: 56

9/2

Shaped well when third of 14 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to soft, 4/1) 8 days ago, keeping on well inside final 1f having conceded first run. Not taken lightly.

Form: 31-2333

Forecasts

Kayewhykelly (6/4), Sienna Dream (9/2), Antico Lady (5/1), True Believer (11/2), Gometra Ginty (12/1), Divina Gloria (16/1), Sister Midnight (18/1), Sun Crystal (20/1)

GOMETRA GINTY bounced back to somewhere near her 3-y-o form when finishing runner-up at Haydock 3 weeks ago. She's taken to build on that and can go one better here at the expense of Sienna Dream. Alistair Whillans' charge has hit the frame in all 4 starts at Ayr this year and she looks set to go close once again. Kayewhykelly and Antico Lady can fight out minor honours.
