Lalania²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: W Stone| OR: 83| D

7/1

Has thrived back on turf this summer and almost landed a hat-trick with another gutsy effort when second at Newmarket 27 days ago. Likeable type who should give another good account.

Form: 455112

Lawahed^b1²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: S Donohoe| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| BF| D

11/4

Useful filly who didn't need to better previous form when easily landing the odds in a Haydock. Acquitted herself well in handicap at York subsequently and could do more still with blinkers applied.

Form: 2213

(6)

One Small Step³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Angus Villiers⁽⁵⁾| T: B J Meehan| OR: 82| D

11/2

Confirmed debut promise when comfortably winning a 15-runner maiden at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) in July. Only third of 4 at Salisbury on handicap debut, however, so needs to find more.

Form: 213

(9)

Dubai Quality²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: H Crouch| T: S bin Suroor| OR: 80

17/2

Built on sole 2-y-o start when landing a Kempton maiden (1m) in June but hasn't been in the same form since, again finding little at Salisbury last month.

Form: 2-144

(3)

Lapidary²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Ellie Mackenzie⁽⁷⁾| T: H Main| OR: 74

17/2

Dual AW winner last summer but has only one creditable effort to her name this term. Not easy to make a case for despite fair mark.

Form: 59-9828

(1)

Ghost Queen²⁸⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: W Jarvis| OR: 74| D

66/1

Went the wrong way for Simon Crisford and didn't offer all that much encouragement on debut for new stable at Lingfield 9 months ago. Easy to oppose.

Form: 413/000-

(4)

The Blue Bower¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Carver⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 74| D

10/1

Returned with a double on the AW this summer and resumed progress to get back to winning ways at Goodwood last time. Another bold showing likely if they go a true gallop.

Form: 3-11751

(8)

Faldetta⁴²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Downing| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 74WS

50/1

Brighton maiden winner last term and placed on both subsequent outings. Only averagely treated, though, and has 14-month absence to overcome.

Form: 3123-

(7)

Made For All³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 74| D

17/2

Big step forward when winning 10-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 38 days ago, staying on well. Can make presence felt despite 9 lb rise.

Form: 35-781

(2)

Grace And Virtue¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: T Hamilton| T: R A Fahey| OR: 71| D

5/1

Progressive filly who has won 2 of her last 3 outings and was well in command having dictated at Musselburgh 16 days ago. Open to further improvement, so can take this step up in grade in her stride.

Form: 6-72121

Forecasts

Lawahed (11/4), Grace And Virtue (5/1), One Small Step (11/2), Lalania (7/1), Lapidary (17/2), Made For All (17/2), Dubai Quality (17/2), The Blue Bower (10/1), Faldetta (50/1), Ghost Queen (66/1)

GRACE AND VIRTUE powered away to make all in good style at Musselburgh last time and, although this is a tougher assignment, she's progressive enough to defy a rise under another positive ride. Lawahed looked on a fair mark when third at York last time, so she's respected in opposition along with the thriving Lalania.
