Declared Interest²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 95| D

10/1

Useful performer who upped her game once more to score at Newbury (1m) 2 starts back, winning readily. May of found race coming too soon at Ascot 6 days later and better anticipated back at 1¼m.

Form: 91-1415

(2)

Ananya²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Ryan Tate| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 95

50/1

Useful form at best as a 2-y-o for Peter Chapple-Hyam back in 2019 and proved she retains ability, albeit in muddling affair when fifth of 6 at Goodwood (1m) in July. Still, this another tough ask.

Form: 31557/5

(9)

Wait For The Lord^h⁷⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D C Costello| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 88| D

33/1

Useful sort who was flattered to finish fourth in the Pinnacle Stakes at Haydock in May and predictably wasn't in the same form back in handicap company at Epsom next time. Drops back in trip now.

Form: 6-48445

(6)

Aunty Bridy^t1²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A J Farragher⁽⁵⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 93

50/1

Rangy filly who signed off for Jim Bolger with a fine second in a Group 3 at the Curragh. Picked up for 410,000gns but essentially not scaled same heights all 3 starts this year. Tough to assess.

Form: 162-087

(3)

Achelois²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 92| D

11/4

Done nothing but improve since her reappearance run, taking another step forward and making it 3 wins from last 4 starts in good style at Goodwood (9.9f) last month. High on shortlist again.

Form: 7-51311

(12)

Bollin Joan^p²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: Ella McCain⁽⁵⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 85| C| D

25/1

Likeable mare who often pays her way, enhancing good record at Ripon (9.7f) 3 starts back. Not disgraced in handicaps over C&D/Newcastle since but this tougher than the races she'd usually contest.

Form: 416146

The Flying Ginger²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: B A Curtis| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 86| C

33/1

Course winner as a 2-y-o who responded well to a positive ride when successful at Pontefract (1m) in June. Not in same form since, including at listed level and still to prove herself over this far.

Form: 741856

(4)

Bollin Margaret⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 79| D

20/1

Enjoying a good season, completing the hat-trick with a career-best display at Chester (10.3f) in June. Had winning run ended when midfield in a C&D event next time and mark demands that bit more.

Form: 041117

(5)

Sea La Rosa¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

9/4

Sea The Stars filly who made it 2 wins from 3 starts this campaign when seeing off another pair of interesting 3-y-os at Redcar (10f) 15 days ago. Suspicion she can do better still and of interest.

Form: 423-121

(8)

Jewel In My Crown¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 85| D

6/1

Steadily progressive filly, who enhanced good strike rate when making it 3 wins from last 4 starts at Nottingham (10.2f) 17 days ago, well on top finish. 6 lb higher now but foolish to discount.

Form: 4-41121

(7)

Umneyaat^p⁶⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: D K Weld| OR: 83| D

13/2

Had some solid form to her name prior to justifying cramped odds in a Ballinrobe maiden (9.5f) in June, In excellent hands and she may yet have more to offer back in handicaps. Worth a second look.

Form: 32-2341

(10)

Golden Melody⁸^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

40/1

Displaying better signs prior to ending losing run at Thirsk (1m) and displayed a good attitude to follow up at Beverley (8.5f) 8 days ago. Unexposed at around 1¼m but this a whole lot tougher.

Form: 372411

Forecasts

Sea La Rosa (9/4), Achelois (11/4), Jewel In My Crown (6/1), Umneyaat (13/2), Declared Interest (10/1), Bollin Margaret (20/1), Bollin Joan (25/1), The Flying Ginger (33/1), Wait For The Lord (33/1), Golden Melody (40/1), Aunty Bridy (50/1), Ananya (50/1)

ACHELOIS continues to go from strength to strength, posting a career-best effort when making it 3 wins from her last 4 starts at Goodwood (9.9f) last month. Still low-mileage at around this trip, she rates a major player once more and gets the vote. That said, Sea La Rosa and Jewel In My Crown are interesting in their own right and merit respect. Irish-raider Umneyaat completes the shortlist.
