Gustav Graves⁵¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Kingscote| T: D M Loughnane

7/2

Promising sort. Third of 9 in minor event (16/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 51 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Edward Bethell but well in the mix if building on that effort.

Form: 73

Master Sully

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Winston| T: A W Carroll

5/1

Twice-raced maiden. 28/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 8 in minor event at this course (6.1f) 35 days ago. Hooded for 1st time with plenty to find on form.

Form: 05

Ubahha^p1⁶⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Cam Hardie| T: A Brittain| OR: 70| BF

10/3

Fair maiden. 5/2, below-form sixth in handicap at Doncaster (6f, good) 65 days ago on final run for John & Thady Gosden. Cheekpieces on 1st time and holds good claims if back on song for new yard.

Form: 5036

Gizza Job^b³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: William Cox⁽³⁾| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 30

Hala Be Zain^h1³⁹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: T Eaves| T: D Shaw

150/1

Twice-raced maiden. 9/1, last of 10 in minor event here 13 months ago on her final run for Mark Johnston. Hooded for new yard and her fitness is a big concern.

Form: 90-

(2)

It's Wonderful⁷⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Marco Ghiani| T: A W Carroll

25/1

Twice-raced maiden, much better effort when fourth of 6 in minor event (125/1) at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 75 days ago. Needs another step forward if she's to figure here.

Form: 94

Seixas^p³¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd

5/1

66/1 and hooded cheekpieces on, seventh of 9 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut, very slowly away. Off 10 months and significantly more is required.

Form: 7-

Wings Of A Dove^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Angus Villiers⁽³⁾| T: R Spencer| OR: 67

5/2

Fair filly. In good nick but poorly drawn and raced very wide when ninth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Well worth considering now.

Form: 502259

Forecasts

Wings Of A Dove (5/2), Ubahha (10/3), Gustav Graves (7/2), Seixas (5/1), Mellencamp (5/1), Master Sully (22/1), It's Wonderful (25/1), Babyduke (80/1), Hala Be Zain (150/1), Gizza Job (250/1)

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest. WINGS OF A DOVE didn't enjoy the best of luck when ninth here last time so this fair and consistent filly is fancied to open her account with a more favourable berth this time around. Both Ubahha and Gustav Graves have the form to play a big part but need to show their best on their debuts for new stables.
