Doonbeg Farmer¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Connor Murtagh⁽³⁾| T: H J Evans| OR: 55

28/1

Twelfth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 40/1) 18 days ago and he needs to bounce back in a big way.

Form: 6-26670

(14)

Mrs Dibble¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: M Dwyer| T: Ian Williams| OR: 55

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (7f, 22/1) 14 days ago. Will need to take another step forward if she's to play a leading role.

Form: 6083

(13)

The Mehmas Touch¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh| T: D P Quinn| OR: 55

16/1

6/1, good length third of 10 to Final Fantasy in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, well positioned. Not done any favour by the draw and will probably find one or two too good once more.

Form: 5860-43

(6)

Marienplatz¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁵⁾| T: Tom Clover| OR: 54

14/1

Good third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (18/1) 14 days ago, well positioned. 1 lb lower now, but others make more appeal from a win point of view all the same.

Form: 96-8803

(2)

Devil's Cub¹⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: K Shoemark| T: T Ward| OR: 54| BF| D

5/2

Very good second of 9 in nursery (11/4) at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) on final start of his 2-y-o campaign. Resumes on the same mark and he's one of the likelier winners.

Form: 051232-

(11)

Wisper¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: M Blanshard| OR: 54

11/1

5/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Good each-way chance if she gets a strong pace to aim at this time.

Form: 54-7664

(8)

Greyed First¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 53

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, having hopeless task from position. More needed.

Form: 9686

(3)

Final Fantasy^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: S C Williams| OR: 52| CD

4/1

Promising sort. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (5/2) at this C&D 14 days ago by ½ length from Tokyo Chic, digging deep. 4 lb rise fair and she's a big player.

Form: 0-6021

(12)

Heatherdown Matron^t1,v⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Mark Crehan⁽⁵⁾| T: M Moubarak| OR: 51

16/1

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 47 days ago, not clear run. First run for yard after leaving Michael Bell and tongue strap on 1st time.

Form: 45-3254

(5)

Auroch^v1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jane Elliott| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 50

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago. Hopes pinned on first-time visor sparking improvement.

Form: 7780-0

(4)

Carmela Soprano¹²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Marco Ghiani⁽³⁾| T: J R Jenkins| OR: 49

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, very good second of 10 in nursery at Southwell (8.1f). Off 127 days and she will need to improve a chunk in order to go one better here.

Form: 09032-

Lanika¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: B A Curtis| T: S Kirk| OR: 48

20/1

9¼ lengths last of 10 to Final Fantasy in handicap (16/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, so she clearly has work to do.

Form: 84088-0

Forecasts

Devil's Cub (5/2), Final Fantasy (4/1), Mrs Dibble (6/1), Greyed First (10/1), Wisper (11/1), Carmela Soprano (12/1), Tokyo Chic (12/1), Marienplatz (14/1), The Mehmas Touch (16/1), Heatherdown Matron (16/1), Lanika (20/1), Golden Ridge (25/1), Doonbeg Farmer (28/1), Auroch (40/1)

Despite still looking green, FINAL FANTASY knuckled down well when opening her account over C&D recently and she is taken to follow up with the promise of better to come. The second and third on that occasion, Tokyo Chic and The Mehmas Touch, both renew rivalry and the latter makes some each-way appeal, but if Devil's Cub is ready to roll he could be the one to follow Final Fantasy home.
