Amma Grace^v¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D K Weld| OR: 105

4/1

Useful filly who ended last season with success at listed level (at 1¼m) and dispelled reappearance effort when fourth in Group 3 Give Thanks Stakes (1½m) 12 days ago, staying on. One to consider.

Form: 4221-74

(11)

Cabaletta¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 101| D

28/1

4-y-o who scored at listed level last season and hit frame in Group 3/2 contests in recent months at around this trip. Well beaten in Lillie Langtry latest but return to better ground may help now.

Form: 20-3237

(3)

Domino Darling⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 97

10/1

Low-mileage filly who quickly dispelled a poor reappearance run when third under top weight on handicap bow at Salisbury (12f) last week. Possible she will have more to offer at this sort of trip.

Form: 1/583-63

(1)

Forbearance⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 99

12/1

Progressive daughter of Galileo who doubled career tally at Down Royal (12.7f) in June and progressed again when third in Leopardstown Group 3 (14f) last month. Another who may do better again.

Form: 6-14313

(8)

Goldie Hawk¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C F Wall| OR: 89| D

22/1

Built up a fine strike rate from low base in handicaps, adding fifth career success to the tally at Haydock (11.6f) 2 weeks ago, noticeably just doing enough in front. This does require more, though.

Form: 1-23131

(7)

Dubai Fountain⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 104

11/2

Highly tried at 2 yrs and confirmed she'd trained on when winning Cheshire Oaks (11.3f) in May. Efforts a shade underwhelming either side of her fifth in Ribblesdale but she can't be ruled out.

Form: 24-1059

(6)

Brunnera^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: H Palmer| OR: 90

18/1

Much improved equipped with a hood this year, making it 2 wins from 3 starts when landing another small-field Newmarket handicap (10f) 2 weeks ago. That may not prove her limit but this much deeper.

Form: 637-121

(12)

Glenartney³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: K Stott| T: E Walker| OR: 96

40/1

7f novice winner at 2 yrs who finished a creditable fifth in Musidora and stayed on to take third in listed Glasgow Stakes (11f) at Hamilton in July. Feasible to think she has a bigger effort in her.

Form: 61-53

(4)

Pennymoor¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L Dettori| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92| D

8/1

Frankel filly who has progressed with each start to date, improving in line with the longer trip when bolting up in a Kempton novice (12f) 2 weeks ago. Well worth her place at this higher level.

Form: 821

(2)

Portfolio¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: R L Moore| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 97

5/1

Deep Impact filly who landed back-to-back small-field handicaps at 10f last month. Well served by 2f longer trip when third in Newmarket listed event since and claims of getting involved again.

Form: 5-34113

(10)

Vesela^p1⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95

25/1

Much improved from debut when taking Doncaster maiden (1m) in October. Progressed again in defeat at listed level, third at Salisbury (9.9f) 8 days ago. Longer trip worth exploring. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 01-353

Rule 4

Rule 4 applies to all bets - deduction 15p in the pound

Forecasts

Amma Grace (4/1), Portfolio (5/1), Dubai Fountain (11/2), Abstinence (7/1), Pennymoor (8/1), Domino Darling (10/1), Forbearance (12/1), Brunnera (18/1), Goldie Hawk (22/1), Vesela (25/1), Cabaletta (28/1), Glenartney (40/1)

This is very competitive, and it may pay to side with Dermot Weld's AMMA GRACE. A listed winner on her final outing last term, she dispelled her reappearance effort in May when staying on for fourth in the Group 3 Give Thanks at Cork recently and there's likely more to come at this sort of trip. Abstinence and Dubai Fountain head up the dangers, along with impressive Kempton scorer Pennymoor.
