6/1

Already a three-time winner this year, latest including over C&D. Last couple of efforts have been short of his best, though.

9/2

Latest win at Bath in June. 11/2, good second in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 10 days ago. Not at best when fifth of 6 in handicap (10/3) at Bath (5.7f, firm) on Wednesday. Claims on pick of form.

Buy Me Back⁹^{(ex 5)}

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Elisha Whittington⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 74| D

9/2

Prolific this season and had something up her sleeve when scoring at Brighton last time. Penalty makes it tougher but, such is her rate of progress this year, it's best to expect another bold showing.

10/1

All speed and made it win number 3 at Wolverhampton in March. Not really firing since but always dangerous if she gets loose in front.

Spring Bloom⁴⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: R Eddery| OR: 73| D

7/2

Summed up by his mark but back on his game when second at Goodwood last time and likely to give another good account.

Form: 194-292

Union Rose^p²⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: R Harris| OR: 72| CD

33/1

Down to a handy mark but with good reason as he's been struggling for form for a while. Easily discounted.

Libertine Belle^t³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: S C Williams| OR: 74

10/3

Posted a career best when winning 17-runner handicap (5/2) at Goodwood and probably found race coming too soon at Newmarket next time. Should get back on the up following more of a break.

Form: 2-35217

Street Parade^p²²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: William Carson| T: M J Attwater| OR: 68| D

12/1

Twenty three runs since last win in 2019. 9/1, last of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, firm) 22 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. May find a couple too good once again.

Form: 634538

Forecasts

Libertine Belle (10/3), Spring Bloom (7/2), Buy Me Back (9/2), Newyorkstateofmind (9/2), Saaheq (6/1), Spurofthemoment (10/1), Street Parade (12/1), Union Rose (33/1)

LIBERTINE BELLE was progressing nicely before a lesser run at Newmarket but she's been allowed more of a break since, so she's worth chancing to get back to winning ways in a tightly-knit contest. The thriving Buy Me Back is an obvious danger in her hat-trick bid, while Newyorkstateofmind can't be ignored on the pick of his form.
