Arthur's Victory¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Harry Burns⁽⁵⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 70| D

3/1

Career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 7/2) 11 days ago, keeping on well. This lightly-raced filly will be a big player if proving equally effective on this surface.

Form: 62651

Retrouvailles^t⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 70

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 46 days ago. Likely to come up short once more.

Form: 77247

Always Dreaming⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: E J Walsh| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 69

12/1

Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 66/1) 47 days ago. Now 0-9 and she's likely to again find a few too good.

Form: 344-477

(5)

Across The Nile¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Hayley Turner| T: J Ferguson| OR: 65

15/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 7 in minor event at Yarmouth (6f, firm, 15/2) 18 days ago. Needs to raise her game now making the switch to handicap company.

Form: 2-04

(7)

Cabrini¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Dylan Hogan⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 65| BF

13/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good, 11/5) 14 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and each-way chance if taking to this surface.

Form: 00353

(2)

Kodikova^e/s,h⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Josh Quinn⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 58| BF

4/1

Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap (5/2) at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 40 days ago, not knocked about. Down another 2 lb and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 2936-47

(1)

Dubai Elegance^p¹¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 8-12| J: Darragh Keenan| T: D Shaw| OR: 54| CD

50/1

C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 4/1, last of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f). Off 111 days and she's opposable from a win point of view.

Form: 225-489

Forecasts

Arthur's Victory (3/1), Urtzi (3/1), Kodikova (4/1), Cabrini (13/2), Across The Nile (15/2), Retrouvailles (10/1), Always Dreaming (12/1), Dubai Elegance (50/1)

Assuming that she takes to this surface, ARTHUR'S VICTORY may well be the answer on the back of her recent breakthrough success at Epsom. That wasn't a particularly strong race, but neither is this and a 4 lb rise should be manageable. Kodikova hasn't shaped badly in a couple of 6f handicaps at Thirsk for new connections this season and she is next on the list ahead of Cabrini.
