Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes| OR: 89| C| D

5/1

Course winner at 2. Useful effort when seeing off subsequent York scorer Amber Storm at Haydock last month. Good chance she was unsuited by heavy ground at Goodwood since. Remains capable of better.

Progressive filly who has won 3 of her last 4 starts, including 12-runner handicap at Ascot (good to firm) 10 weeks ago, responding well. Useful now and may have more to come.

Given a bit of a chance by the handicapper and better signs when fourth at Ascot (1m, good) 14 days ago. Well treated if able to build on that.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: M Harley| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85| BF

7/2

Justified favouritism in 7f novice on AW reappearance last month. Turned over at short odds on turf at Yarmouth since but retains potential now handicapping for top connections. Tongue tie added.

11/1

Blinkered first time, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (7f, soft) 22 days ago. Visor the headgear of choice this time. Others much more obvious.

Form: 9-65606

Madame Tantzy^p1⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 8-7| J: N Mackay| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 70| D

6/1

Good second on the July Course on her penultimate start. Not in the same form at Leicester since but her stable's good form in recent weeks provides hope for better now. Cheekpieces added.

Form: 66-3428

Manaabit (5/2), Mostly (7/2), Excellent Times (4/1), Lady Lynetta (5/1), Madame Tantzy (6/1), I'm Available (11/1)

MANAABIT is taken to pull out a bit more and defy the handicapper again. Lady Lynetta should be more at home on this ground than she was in the mud at Goodwood last time and remains capable of better, while Mostly is lightly raced and could have more to come now handicapping for her top yard.
