Moll Davis¹¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: W Buick| T: George Scott| OR: 95| BF| D

4/1

Pair of wins last season and resumed with good efforts at Newcastle and Newbury in June. Absent since but can be expected to play a prominent role if in similar form.

Form: 5103-42

Iconic Choice^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: M Harley| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 89

14/1

Second in Pontefract listed event in July but not in quite the same form since, beaten 5 lengths into fourth at Pontefract 9 days ago. Eased another 2 lb but it doesn't look enough.

Form: 429804

Be More²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 89| C| D

5/1

Three-time winner last year and added to her tally upped to this trip at Sandown in July. Last 2 runs no more than respectable, though, and only a return to her very best will suffice here.

Form: 41-3155

(2)

Oti Ma Boati^t³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: W J Haggas| OR: 92

6/1

Took career record to an impressive 5 wins from 7 starts when comfortably seeing off 3 rivals in mud at Goodwood 36 days ago. Up 6 lb in a deeper race now but further progress distinct possibility.

Form: 1170-11

Moonlight In Paris²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 85

11/4

Heavy-ground maiden winner on debut last autumn. Hasn't progressed in 3 outings this term but still relatively early days and she didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages at Sandown last time.

Form: 1-626

Geranium¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: P J McDonald| T: H Morrison| OR: 78| BF| D

14/1

Well found in the market when resuming winning ways at Sandown (1¼m) in July. Not seen to best effect when beaten just over 7 lengths into third over 9f here last time and likely still in form.

Form: 0-91633

Kaleidoscopic¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M R Channon| OR: 78| D

6/1

Improved to make a successful handicap debut over this trip at Sandown (good) last month. That was a competitive race so a 6 lb rise may not prevent her getting involved again.

Form: 6431

(10)

Affable³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 71| D

11/1

Improved to get off the mark in July Course handicap over this trip in August but she's effectively 10 lb higher here (5 lb out of weights) so further improvement needed to follow up.

Form: 355551

Forecasts

Moonlight In Paris (11/4), Moll Davis (4/1), Be More (5/1), Wondrous Words (5/1), Oti Ma Boati (6/1), Kaleidoscopic (6/1), La Dragontea (8/1), Affable (11/1), Goddess Of Fire (12/1), Iconic Choice (14/1), Geranium (14/1), By My Side (14/1)

WONDROUS WORDS is a 3-y-o filly heading in the right direction and is selected to make it 2 from 3 in handicaps. This is stronger than the Goodwood handicap Oti Ma Boati won last time but she still looks the obvious danger ahead of George Scott's Moll Davis.
