Onassis³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: C Fellowes| OR: 99| D

9/2

Returned with Sandringham (1m) success at Royal Ascot. Added to her tally in Chantilly listed event in July and good fourth in Group 3 (7f) at Doncaster latest. Has to be of interest.

Form: 1-14174

(9)

Elegant Light³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Bentley| T: R M Beckett| OR: 91| D

9/1

Useful performer in France and much better effort for this yard when fifth from a wide draw in Chester handicap a month ago. Likely to come on again and further rain a plus.

Form: 9418-75

(4)

Afraid Of Nothing⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95| D

8/1

Took form to a new level when landing 9-runner handicap at Chelmsford in July. Too free when mid-field back there a month later but a big player on these terms back on grass.

Form: 117-218

(5)

Bimble¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: George Wood| T: H Candy| OR: 85| BF| C

14/1

Impressive winner of 6f course maiden on return and matched that level when hitting the frame in a brace of handicaps since. Will need to settle to last out upped to 7f.

Form: 4-124

(3)

Gypsy Whisper^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: W Buick| T: D Menuisier| OR: 90| D

9/1

Completed a quick 7f handicap double at Sandown but found never able to land a blow when tenth in Sceptre Stakes at Doncaster last time. Has a bit to find here.

Form: 4-44110

(8)

Helvezia⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 82| D

22/1

Left opening pair of exploits in her wake when readily landing a Chepstow maiden (7f) and similar form when third on handicap bow at Newmarket. Much more needed at this level, however.

Form: 3013

(2)

Leafhopper²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: James Doyle| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 88| D

6/1

Created good impression when landing maiden at Newmarket last summer and made light of a 13-month absence in novice at Catterick 3 weeks ago. Up in class but looks a useful prospect at least.

Form: 1-1

(1)

Tomorrow's Dream^t¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 98| C| D

5/1

Likeable filly who has acquitted herself well in listed events the last twice, including when third of 15 in a first-time tongue tie at Newmarket 16 days ago, albeit better placed than most.

Form: 121763

(6)

With Thanks⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 91| D

7/2

Winner of 2 of her 3 starts, including when easily landing the odds in Catterick novice 7 weeks ago. Can leave bare form behind and conditions will hold no fears.

Form: 1-21

Forecasts

With Thanks (7/2), Onassis (9/2), Tomorrow's Dream (5/1), Leafhopper (6/1), Afraid Of Nothing (8/1), Elegant Light (9/1), Gypsy Whisper (9/1), Bimble (14/1), Helvezia (22/1)

Already a winner at this level in 2020, ONASSIS shaped well when fourth in a slightly better race than this at Doncaster a month ago, and with soft ground no concern, she is taken to successfully concede weight all round. Leafhopper and With Thanks both take a marked step up in class having won in novice company last time but represent top yards and have more to offer.
