(7)

Look Around⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 98

11/1

Useful filly who ran up to her best when third in Group 3 here last time. Opening mark looks fair enough so can't rule out down in class.

Form: 923-633

Salayel²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson⁽⁵⁾| T: R Varian| OR: 95| BF

Iconic Choice^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 95| D

40/1

Best effort this season when second in 1m listed event at Pontefract and not disgraced both starts since. Hides no secrets from the handicapper, however.

Form: 5-94298

(10)

Indie Angel^p¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| D

8/1

Useful sort who squeezed out some more improvement when 3-length winner at Salisbury last month. Not disgraced upped to Group 3 level at Sandown since and remains of interest back in a handicap.

Form: 321318

(11)

Pretty In Grey⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Watson| T: M Botti| OR: 92| D

11/2

Progressive filly who has won all 4 starts in handicaps, taking form to another level at Newmarket latest, again showing a a good turn of foot. Likely to make another bold bid.

Form: 861-111

(5)

Excellent Times¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 8-10| J: Phil Dennis| T: T D Easterby| OR: 82

33/1

Hasn't looked at her best so far this term, only mid-field at York last time, but she's been given a chance by the handicapper at least. Up in trip.

Form: 89-0706

(3)

Dreamloper¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 85| BF

9/2

Promising type who opened account in impressive fashion at Redcar (7f, good to firm). Failed to improve when third on handicap bow at Kempton but it was still a creditable effort. Remains unexposed.

Form: 4313

(8)

Perfect Inch²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 84

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Improved when second of 9 at York (7.9f, good to firm) on handicap debut and ran as well as could have been expected upped in class at Salisbury since. This more realistic.

Form: 6-2727

(9)

Escape The City¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: George Rooke⁽⁵⁾| T: H Morrison| OR: 71

14/1

Caught the eye on reappearance at Newmarket (10f) nd back from a trio of lesser efforts when just failing at Sandown (1m) 2 weeks ago. However, stiff task from 8 lb out of the handicap here.

Form: 6-47643

(4)

Declared Interest³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: David Egan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 83| D

9/2

Built on her exploits as a 2-y-o to make a winning return/handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m). Just respectable efforts since and others more progressive.

Form: 32-1576

Non-Runners

Manaabit⁵⁶

Weight: 8-11| Age: 3

T: W J Haggas J: Dane O'Neill

Forecasts

Salayel (7/2), Manaabit (4/1), Dreamloper (9/2), Declared Interest (9/2), Pretty In Grey (11/2), Indie Angel (8/1), Perfect Inch (17/2), Look Around (11/1), Escape The City (14/1), Excellent Times (33/1), Iconic Choice (40/1)

INDIE ANGEL failed to get involved when upped to Group 3 level at Sandown 2 weeks ago, but she saw off Salayel in clear-cut fashion at Salisbury the time before and remains of interest back in a handicap. Progressive 3-y-os Manaabit and Pretty In Grey head the dangers in an open-looking event.
