Green Door^v⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 9-9| J: Angus Villiers⁽³⁾| T: R M H Cowell| OR: 61| CD

9/2

3-time C&D winner. 28/1, possibly needed the run when sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 45 days ago. Nothing like the force of old but drops further in grade here.

Persaria^t¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: David Probert| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 59

11/4

13/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, made no impression when seventh of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good) 15 days ago. Mark continues to tumble but she needs to show more.

Form: 237547

Red Walls⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D C Costello| T: L Williamson| OR: 58| D

7/2

One win from 21 Flat runs. Never a threat having missed the break when sixth of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (5f, good to soft, 33/1) 4 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

Lady Florence¹⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Gina Mangan⁽⁵⁾| T: M S Saunders| OR: 54| BF| CD

15/2

C&D winner. 5/2, disappointed when seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D (AW) back in April, fading final 1f. Looks to hold leading claims if ready to roll with useful 5 lb claimer on board.

Form: 613-827

Hope Springs^h¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J R Boyle| OR: 45

22/1

Form: 9-78

Forecasts

Persaria (11/4), Red Walls (7/2), Green Door (9/2), Bungledupinblue (6/1), Lady Florence (15/2), Arzaak (17/2), Firenze Rosa (14/1), Lady Susie (18/1), Hope Springs (22/1), Hurricane Alert (150/1)

Several in with a chance but C&D winner LADY FLORENCE gets the vote to come out on top following a 5-month break. She went very close on her penultimate start back in April, and with Gina Mangan taking off a valuable 5 lb, this may not take much winning. Arzaak has been given a chance by the handicapper so he could provide the biggest threat, ahead of Robert Cowell's veteran Green Door.
