Bhubezi⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 77

10/3

Lightly-raced winner. 18/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 48 days ago. Bit to prove on the back of that low-key reappearance.

Form: 5174-8

(3)

Amor De Mi Vida^p⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: A Watson| OR: 73| D

15/2

Improved to win 6-runner handicap at Salisbury (5f, good, 6/1) 9 days ago, sticking to task. 3 lb rise fair enough and another bold show anticipated.

Form: 4320-51

(6)

Rockett Man¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Mitchell| T: Tom Clover| OR: 72| D

7/1

Lightly-raced winner. 12/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, soft) 17 days ago, not knocked about. It could be that he's simply more effective on the AW.

Form: 45-137

(8)

Mister Bluebird^p³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Tom Marquand| T: H Main| OR: 69| CD

7/2

Promising individual. C&D winner in April. 7/2, fifth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 34 days ago. A line can be drawn through that run and he's high on the shortlist.

Form: 5343-15

(4)

Elektronic²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P J Dobbs| T: R Hughes| OR: 69

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 10 in minor event at this C&D (good, 10/3) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut and needs to raise his game.

Form: 43-5

(5)

Hotalena^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁷⁾| T: P D Evans| OR: 67| D

9/1

Three wins from 8 runs this year, the latest at Thirsk in May. Below form fifth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Goodwood (5f, soft) 17 days ago. Eased in grade here and she merits consideration.

Form: 110215

(9)

Toptime⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: B R Millman| OR: 65

13/2

3/1, creditable 1¼ lengths third of 6 to Amor De Mi Vida in handicap at Salisbury (5f, good) 9 days ago. 3 lb better off with that rival now and shouldn't be far away.

Form: 315-533

(1)

Hemmsa³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Ray Dawson⁽³⁾| T: T Kent| OR: 65

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 34 days ago, slowly away. Makes turf debut and improvement is needed.

Form: 2453-4

Forecasts

Bhubezi (10/3), Mister Bluebird (7/2), Hemmsa (6/1), Toptime (13/2), Rockett Man (7/1), Amor De Mi Vida (15/2), Hotalena (9/1), Highest Ambition (12/1), Elektronic (14/1), Obtuse (16/1)

MISTER BLUEBIRD raised his game when making a winning reappearance over C&D and there were excuses at Lingfield next time (carried wide by a hanging rival turning for home). He still has potential and gets the nod ahead of Hotalena, who contested a stronger race than this at Goodwood last time. Toptime may reverse Salisbury placings with Amor De Mi Vida on these terms and is third choice.
