Isla Vista²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: P D Evans| OR: 65

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, first run since leaving Sir Michael Stoute when creditable fifth of 10 in novice at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago, not knocked about. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 73P-5

(4)

Royal Heart^p1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: A Kirby| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 65

13/2

Thrice-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Newcastle (7f) 16 days ago but opening mark looks workable based on Wolverhampton fifth prior to that. Cheekpieces on first time.

Form: 6-56

(5)

Talking Point¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Callum Shepherd| T: J Tate| OR: 65

2/1

Fair form. 5/1, improved when narrowly denied over C&D 16 days ago, finishing well. 2 lb rise may not prevent her going one better this time.

Form: 4574-2

10/3

10/3, first run since leaving Tom Ward when well-held fourth of 6 in handicap at Southwell (6f) 18 days ago. Needs to step up on that.

Halwa Azyan²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Shane Gray| T: R A Fahey| OR: 50

16/1

Unreliable individual. 15/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (7f) 20 days ago, not helping chance by hanging left. Claims if he can plot a straighter course this time.

Form: 5500-65

(6)

Mr Moneypenny^h1¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-3| J: Theodore Ladd⁽³⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 47

Forecasts

Talking Point (2/1), Merry Secret (10/3), He Can Dance (9/2), Royal Heart (13/2), Acquisitor (9/1), Isla Vista (10/1), Halwa Azyan (16/1), Mr Moneypenny (50/1)

TALKING POINT looks the way to go after her good second over C&D last month. Royal Heart's mark looks manageable based on the best of his qualifying efforts and he can provide the chief threat ahead of Richard Fahey's Halwa Azyan.
