10/1

Arrives on the back of a creditable third at Lingfield (5f, AW) 29 days ago but not threatening to defy this mark unless everything goes her way.

Form: 17-4233

Equally Fast^h¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Joshua Bryan| T: R Harris| OR: 65| C| D

8/1

Course winner. Won 6-runner handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, good to firm, 5/2) 12 days ago, readily. In good form, goes well here, and could defy this sort of mark.

Form: 5-93221

Coronation Cottage¹⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: L P Keniry| T: M S Saunders| OR: 65| CD

25/1

Bit disappointing (slow starts a concern) since winning C&D handicap on quick ground last summer. Plenty to prove.

Form: 158-445

Dana Forever²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Poppy Fielding⁽⁷⁾| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 65

10/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 17/2 and visored for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 28 days ago, doing too much too soon under this rider. Down another 3 lb. Player.

Form: 26-2458

Heer We Go Again^v¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: S W Kelly| T: P D Evans| OR: 63| CD

9/2

C&D winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap (15/2) at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago, hanging badly. Down another 3 lb and interesting with Royal Ascot-winning rider now up.

Mystify Me^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ryan Tate| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 69| CD

17/2

7/2 and hooded for 1st time, won 7-runner maiden at this C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago, keen but keeping on well. Could have more to come now handicapping and leading claims.

Form: 7-51

Hot Scoop^b,t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 66| BF| C

16/1

Latest win at Southwell in April. 4/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.

Gherkin⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: L Morris| T: W S Kittow| OR: 55

13/2

Winner at Brighton in April. Bit below form fifth of 15 in handicap at this course (5.7f, good, 5/1) 42 days ago. More needed again taking on classier rivals.

Cherish³³

Age: 4| Weight: 8-10| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| CD

C&D winner in May. Good third of 16 in handicap (12/1) at this course (5.7f, soft) 33 days ago, not seen to best effect. Could go well.

Forecasts

Cherish (4/1), Heer We Go Again (9/2), Hot Scoop (5/1), Gherkin (13/2), Equally Fast (8/1), Mystify Me (17/2), The Nosey Parker (10/1), Dana Forever (10/1), Moonraker (16/1), Coronation Cottage (25/1)

DANA FOREVER has dropped to a career-low mark and has run a couple of good races under her young pilot in the past. She did too much too soon over 6f at Wolverhampton last time but could be hard to catch around here. Heer We Go Again won on his last visit to Bath last summer and is interesting. Mystify Me has to be respected on her handicap debut having scored here 3 weeks ago.
