22/1

Failed to build on Taunton debut third in March 2020 both starts later that year but handicaps are at least now an option.

Form: 3/96-

Solstalla^p¹⁶

11/1

Form: 71068-2

Sarceaux¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR: 97

6/1

Fair 12.5f Flat winner in France and more like it over hurdles in handicaps this last twice, second to a handicap blot at Worcester a fortnight ago. Up in trip.

Form: 56P8-32

Stanley Stanley^t1³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-8| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 94

8/1

In top hands, but just minor promise in 4 stars so far. Switches to handicaps and likely has more to offer fitted with a tongue tie.

Form: 945-8

Fleursals^p³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Benjamin Poste| T: T Symonds| OR: 87

9/2

Maiden who looked set to confirm her return to form prior to falling 2 out at Southwell (20.4f) in March (might have made the frame). Has work to do with Sainte Doctor on latest C&D clash.

Form: 7/575F-5

Forecasts

Sainte Doctor (8/11), Fleursals (9/2), Sarceaux (6/1), Stanley Stanley (8/1), Solstalla (11/1), Sa Alors (22/1)

SAINTE DOCTOR was well prepared to make a successful return from 14 months off over C&D at the beginning of May, and given she was value for a bit extra, a 4 lb rise may well underestimate her. Sarceaux bumped into a well-treated rival last time and can make her presence felt, along with Solstalla.
