Dono Di Dio^p1²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Stefano Cherchi⁽³⁾| T: M Madgwick| OR: 68| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good to soft) 27 days ago, going with little fluency and never a threat. Return to AW rates a plus though, and her mark has eased. Cheekpieces on.

Form: 6-66995

Spring Glow¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 64| D

10/3

Winner at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in April. 10/3, last of 4 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 15 days ago, needing stiffer test. Eased 2 lb on the back of that and she's no forlorn hope.

Form: 3-13634

(5)

Swallowdale³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 72

18/1

Won back-to-back all-weather handicaps earlier in the year and dispelled pair of lesser efforts on turf when 5 lengths fourth of 7 at Newbury (12f) in July. May do better again at this trip.

Form: 116684

(8)

Thanielle³⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: M Harley| T: A King| OR: 62

16/1

Sixth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good to firm, 11/2) 34 days ago, outpaced from 2f out on the back of a wind op. Needs to show the benefit of that run to figure here.

Form: 704-906

(11)

Summertime Romance²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 70

11/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Fair form when fourth of 11 in minor event (12/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, keeping on without getting on terms. Entitled to hold more chance now sights are set on handicaps.

Form: 534

Maxine³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽³⁾| T: H J L Dunlop| OR: 68

17/2

Latest win at Pontefract (10f) in May. Last of 4 in handicap (5/2) at Lingfield (11.6f, good) 30 days ago, possibly amiss. No surprise to see her bounce back here.

Form: 811234

Ladywood⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 68| D

25/1

11/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, not ideally placed. Mark looks about right but no surprise to see her give it another good shot.

Form: 240334

Special Directory²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 68

5/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Very good third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 4/1) 23 days ago, no extra last ½f. Has improved with each outing to date and she may well have a little more to offer.

Form: 4943

(1)

Persuasive Powers²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 67

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Windsor (10f) 23 days ago, proving too free. However, entitled to hold more chance now handicapping and this trip expected to be within range.

Form: 536

(9)

Kinderfrau¹⁶³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Mitchell| T: B R Johnson| OR: 67

33/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 11/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 163 days. First run for yard after leaving John Gosden. Makes handicap debut.

Form: 4-55

(6)

Two Two Time⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 65

9/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, soft, 12/1) 58 days ago, unable to sustain effort on the soft ground. Worth another chance at this sort of trip.

Form: 4-456

Forecasts

Spring Glow (10/3), Two Two Time (9/2), Special Directory (5/1), Summertime Romance (11/2), Maxine (17/2), Persuasive Powers (11/1), Dono Di Dio (12/1), Thanielle (16/1), Swallowdale (18/1), Ladywood (25/1), Kinderfrau (33/1)

A dual winner on turf during May, MAXINE was seemingly not herself when finishing last of 4 at Lingfield on her latest outing 4 weeks ago. However, she's the type to bounce back and earns the vote operating from this lower all-weather mark. Two Two Time and Special Directory remain low-mileage and can also feature.
