Genetique^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 80| D

66/1

Fairly useful 6.5f winner in France for Freddy Head. Well held both starts upon joining new yard this summer though, and easing mark/drop back in trip needs to spark a revival.

Form: 841050

Hello Me^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: J Parr| OR: 80| D

10/3

Dual AW winner at 2yrs who confirmed more positive signs when running out a good winner in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor (6f) 17 days ago. Likely to go well again.

Rhythm¹⁰²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Joanna Mason⁽³⁾| T: Mrs R Carr| OR: 78| D

25/1

Fair winning juvenile who stepped up on markedly on her return effort to score at Windsor (6f) in June, leading close home. Changed hands for £10,000 since and not ruled out given she's low-mileage.

Form: 8186-91

International Girl²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Hanagan| T: R A Fahey| OR: 75| D

9/2

Landed Musselburgh maiden (5f) on sole start as a 2-y-o. Some good efforts in defeat prior to resuming winning ways at Hamilton (6f) 23 days ago and that may not prove her limit.

Form: 023551

Deny Knowledge²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 72| D

5/1

Consistent filly who resumed winning ways at Newcastle (6f) 3 starts back and similar form when runner-up to a fellow in-form sort at Pontefract (6f) 3 weeks ago. Remains on a workable mark.

Form: 372152

Rabat¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 70

11/1

Ran up to best when second to a promising sort at Doncaster (6f) 2 starts back and not disgraced when 3 lengths fourth of 6 at Yarmouth (6f) next time. However, others rate stronger here.

Anjella¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: Saffie Osborne⁽⁵⁾| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 68| D

17/2

Successful 3 times at 6f this season and not disgraced when 5 lengths third behind Hello Me at Windsor (6f) recently, proving a shade too keen. Gets a handy weight pull here.

Form: 133143

Velocistar⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-7| J: Megan Nicholls| T: Steph Hollinshead| OR: 66| BF| D

9/1

Winner at Carlisle (5.8f) in July and remained in form since, trapped towards inside when midfield in 11-runner race at Southwell (6f) in August. Should give another good account.

Soller Bay^b¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: David Egan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63

12/1

Fair and consistent maiden overall but she failed to settle and didn't see her race out when eighth of 12 at Haydock (1m) 12 days ago. Takes a marked step back down in trip now.

Form: 442288

Iris Dancer⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Rowan Scott| T: T Davidson| OR: 63| BF| D

9/2

Heavy ground winner at Ripon (6f) in May for R. Mike Smith and proved admirably consistent for new yard since, filling runners-up spot on 3 of last 4 starts at Hamilton. Mark doesn't look beyond her.

Forecasts

Hello Me (10/3), Iris Dancer (9/2), International Girl (9/2), Deny Knowledge (5/1), Anjella (17/2), Velocistar (9/1), Rabat (11/1), Soller Bay (12/1), Run This Way (16/1), Rhythm (25/1), Genetique (66/1)

INTERNATIONAL GIRL didn't shape at all badly on her penultimate start at Carlisle and duly added to her sole previous win when coming out on top in good style at Hamilton 23 days ago. She gets the nod to defy a 5 lb higher mark, with Hello Me and Deny Knowledge next best. Rhythm is still low-mileage and isn't dismissed lighty either.
