8/1

9/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 9 days ago, keeping on well. Requires more here off a 5 lb higher mark.

Oriental Art¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 68

11/4

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good) 11 days ago, unsuited by way race developed. Likely to improve and has to be taken seriously.

Form: 45825

(3)

Classy Dame⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Darragh Keenan| T: R Eddery| OR: 68| CD

9/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 6 runs this year. 18/1, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Leicester (10f, good to firm) 41 days ago, keeping on well.

Form: 211401

Forecasts

Oriental Art (11/4), Beautiful Crown (3/1), Arthur's Angel (11/2), Livia The Empress (8/1), Rain Gauge (8/1), Classy Dame (9/1), Liger King (16/1), Dream Chaser (16/1), Allegranza (16/1)

ARTHUR'S ANGEL ran very well in a better race than this at Sandown last month. He drops in grade and won over C&D back in May so he makes most appeal today. Oriental Art is a likely improver having shaped well in her two handicap runs to date and she should go close. Beautiful Crown has each-way claims returning to polytrack.
