Lady Sansa²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 81| D

11/8

AW novice winner over this trip in July and has bettered that form when placed twice in handicap company since. Lightly raced and potential for better again. Leading claims.

Form: 3132

(4)

Alpine Mistral^p²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Josephine Gordon| T: S L Keightley| OR: 80| BF| D

3/1

Progressive handicapper who completed a 4-timer when seeing off 7 rivals at Newmarket last month. Winning run ended but another good effort when second at Haydock 24 days ago. Respected again.

Form: 411112

Set In Stone²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: D Nolan| T: R Menzies| OR: 74

33/1

Six-time Flat winner who scored over hurdles for this yard at Perth last month. Now has her first Flat start for the stable.

Geizy Teizy^p⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: B A Curtis| T: M Botti| OR: 73| D

20/1

AW winner last year. Some respectable runs on AW to start 2020 but she has only one creditable effort to her name since the resumption. Others more persuasive.

Form: 270450

Embrace The Moment^p⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Gavin Ashton⁽⁷⁾| T: Ian Williams| OR: 72| BF| D

9/1

Winner at Pontefract in June and just as good when placed at Haydock (good to firm) and Chepstow (good to soft) on her last 2 outings. Ought to give her running again.

Form: 431523

Fannie By Gaslight¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: F Norton| T: M R Channon| OR: 71| CD

11/1

Won this race on heavy ground 12 months ago. Well held on Beverley return 11 days ago but only 1 lb above last year's successful mark so she's a dangerous one to discount under Franny Norton.

Form: 31473-0

(8)

Lottie Marie^p1²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: R Kingscote| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 73

16/1

AW maiden winner in January. Back to that level when second in Windsor handicap over this trip in July but she's been unable to back that up twice since. Cheekpieces need to have positive effect.

Form: 2-15285

(1)

Torbellino^h¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Oisin Murphy| T: J R Best| OR: 67

17/2

AW winner at Lingfield in June but hit and miss since and seems to be better on AW than turf. Oisin Murphy up but others more obvious.

Form: 510P49

(6)

Bell Heather^v¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 8-7| J: Barry McHugh| T: P Morris| OR: 60

25/1

Temperamental sort. Did get back to winning ways in 8.6f Wolverhampton handicap 13 days ago but that was a Class 6 and she can be opposed in this higher grade.

Form: 342601

(5)

Lady Alavesa¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-7| J: Ben Robinson| T: M Herrington| OR: 60

33/1

Nineteen runs since last win in 2019. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others more persuasive.

Form: 682626

Forecasts

Lady Sansa (11/8), Alpine Mistral (3/1), Torbellino (17/2), Embrace The Moment (9/1), Fannie By Gaslight (11/1), Lottie Marie (16/1), Geizy Teizy (20/1), Bell Heather (25/1), Set In Stone (33/1), Lady Alavesa (33/1)

LADY SANSA is a steadily progressive 3-y-o who has sound claims of notching a second career success here. Alpine Mistral has thrived since switched to handicap company in cheekpieces and rates an obvious threat, while it would be no surprise to see last year's winner Fannie By Gaslight leave her recent reappearance behind and play a prominent role in this race again.
