Lalania²⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-13| J: Marco Ghiani| T: W Stone| OR: 86| D

5/1

Hit the target 4 times last year and was back on her game when fourth at this course last month. Needs a bit more leeway from the handicapper, though.

Form: 1027-64

(5)

Marly²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: J P Spencer| T: J Ryan| OR: 84

9/2

Fairly useful filly who posted her best effort for a while when fourth despite a troubled passage at Yarmouth last time. On a reasonable mark and Spencer is booked, so she's worth considering.

Form: 470454

Astrogem⁵⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Ryan Tate| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 82| BF| D

15/8

Has returned in tremendous form, improving again when winning 10-runner handicap at Yarmouth in May. Only second at Wolverhampton next time but could get back on the up following more of a break.

Form: 546-112

(2)

Divine Magic³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽⁵⁾| T: M Botti| OR: 82| BF| D

7/4

Opened her account in handicap at Leicester in May and improved again when clear second off 6 lb higher there. Disappointing over C&D since but too soon to write her off.

Form: 2-35124

Divine Magic (7/4), Astrogem (15/8), Genetique (4/1), Marly (9/2), Lalania (5/1), Liberated Lady (5/1)

ASTROGEM found one too good in her hat-trick bid at Wolverhampton a couple of months ago but she's been given some time off since and is fully expected to resume progress, so she gets the marginal vote in what should be a competitive event for the numbers. Marly is an interesting contender under Jamie Spencer and Lalania should give her running as usual.
