11/4

Creditable second of 9 in handicap (3/1) at Newmarket (6f, good) 15 days ago, running on. Has to be taken seriously once again.

Form: 54-5232

Enduring²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Nicola Currie| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 73

Holbache¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Mollie Phillips⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 72| CD

6/1

C&D winner. Career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Brighton (6f, good, 2/1) 10 days ago, well on top finish. Raised 6 lb for that success and should play a part once again.

Form: 621731

Glamorous Breeze^p²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: C Mason| OR: 68| D

5/2

Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Chepstow (5.1f, firm, 10/3) 22 days ago, well on top finish. Raised 7 lb but she's thriving and makes most appeal today.

Form: 4-35221

Forecasts

Glamorous Breeze (5/2), Chipstead (11/4), Enduring (11/4), Ooh Is It (11/4), Holbache (6/1), The First Hurrah (9/1), Mutasallem (12/1)

An open looking sprint handicap to kick off the card. GLAMOROUS BREEZE posted a career best at Chepstow last month and she looks the type to continue on an upward curve. A 7 lb rise may not halt her progression and she looks the one to beat. Ooh Is It bids for a hat-trick and has to be respected. Chipstead can't be ruled out either.
