Kath's Lustre^b²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Elinor Jones⁽⁵⁾| T: R Hughes| OR: 68| D

12/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in April. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (20/1) at Goodwood (6f, good) 27 days ago. Likely to be back on her game, so makes appeal in a weak race.

Form: 53-1336

Coronation Cottage⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Oliver Stammers| T: M S Saunders| OR: 62| D

13/2

25/1, 5 lengths seventh of 10 to Cherish in handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago. Out of sorts lately, so hard to make a solid case for.

Form: 58-4457

(7)

Firenze Rosa⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: J J Bridger| OR: 60| D

20/1

Latest win at Windsor in May. Eighth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Salisbury (5f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 7-20168

(8)

Cherish⁸^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 51| D

6/4

4/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Bath (5f, good to firm) 8 days ago, readily. Carries penalty. Will take all the beating again.

Form: 263131

Kodiak Attack³⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Shariq Mohd⁽⁷⁾| T: S Kirk| OR: 55| D

10/1

18/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Others are more appealing. Engaged 5.55 Bath Wednesday.

Form: 87-5880

(5)

Glamorous Breeze³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie| T: C Mason| OR: 59

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 15/2, below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 30 days ago. May yet do better, so can't be completely discounted.

Form: 04-35

(2)

Manumission^v³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Jonny Peate⁽⁵⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 53

13/2

9/2, last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 31 days ago, slowly away. Temperamental sort who is best opposed.

Form: 603730

Starchant²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-9| J: Tyler Heard| T: J J Bridger| OR: 46

12/1

Remains a maiden after 42 Flat runs. Good third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, good, 6/1) 24 days ago. Has work to do.

Form: 988203

Forecasts

Cherish (6/4), Glamorous Breeze (9/2), Coronation Cottage (13/2), Manumission (13/2), Kodiak Attack (10/1), Kath's Lustre (12/1), Starchant (12/1), Firenze Rosa (20/1)

CHERISH swept through from the rear in impressive fashion at Bath 8 days ago and she's found a thin race to contest under a penalty, so this likeable 4-y-o is the obvious choice to come out on top. Kath's Lustre can be expected to bounce back from a lesser run at Goodwood recently, so she's the main threat ahead of the unexposed Glamorous Breeze.
