Amalfi Salsa³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 57

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden who was below form when fourth of 8 in novice event at Yarmouth (8f, good) 34 days ago. Goes handicapping now and it's feasible to think he could do better.

Form: 9374

6/5

Winner at Brighton in June and again ran well when second of 5 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, soft, evens) 3 days ago, having run of race. Can give another good account.

Form: 00-6122

(6)

Poet's Park³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sebastian Woods⁽⁵⁾| T: C F Wall| OR: 55

Ambarella^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: T Ward| OR: 55

14/1

Visored for 1st time, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, good to soft, 12/1) 7 days ago, doing too much mid-race. Cheekpieces back on for tapeta debut.

Form: 84-7076

(2)

Barbara Ann⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: S De Sousa| T: P J McBride| OR: 54

15/2

Well held in maidens/novice event but could do better now switching to handicaps and the booking of De Sousa also catches the eye.

Form: 8-97

(8)

Cayman Moon^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: W J Knight| OR: 54

5/1

Won on handicap debut at Lingfield in June but flopped back on turf at Yarmouth 13 days ago. Must bounce back.

33/1

25/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm) 10 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 677077

(9)

Ghostly^b1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Cam Hardie| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 47

18/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Found good run halted at Newcastle 20 days ago, but is the type to bounce back quickly fitted with first-time blinkers.

Form: 003320

Camassia⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: Andi Brown| OR: 47

80/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ninth of 15 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 57 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Hard to warm to.

Form: 290-009

(10)

Fury^v1⁶⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R Kingscote| T: S C Williams| OR: 46

12/1

Has shown little so far but given his pedigree and connections it will come as no surprise to see him take off now handicapping up in trip in a first-time visor.

Form: 008

(1)

Fields Of Berries^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Sam Feilden⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 45

125/1

125/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 21 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Significantly back up in trip.

Form: 500-006

Forecasts

Almadrina (6/5), Cayman Moon (5/1), Barbara Ann (15/2), Poet's Park (15/2), Amalfi Salsa (9/1), Fury (12/1), Ambarella (14/1), Ghostly (18/1), The Fast Lion (33/1), Camassia (100/1), Fields Of Berries (125/1)

FURY has shown little so far but his pedigree and yard offer hope for much better now handicapping up in trip, so he receives the vote. Almadrina seems sure to give another good account, while Barbara Ann and Amalfi Salsa are other handicap debutantes to note.
