Quemonda³⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: David Probert| T: P & O Cole| OR: 69| D

9/2

5/1, career best when winning 14-runner handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 35 days ago, kept up to work. Should make his presence felt.

Form: 96-2641

(15)

Avarice^p1²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: A Kirby| T: J Butler| OR: 69| D

9/2

20/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 21 days ago, not ideally placed. Cheekpieces on 1st time and will be a danger to all if the headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 075938

Tele Red¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 67

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Third of 4 in handicap at Haydock (10.4f, good to firm, 11/2) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 5453

Ceci Wells³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carver⁽³⁾| T: P R Webber| OR: 67

80/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 31 days ago. Up in trip and others make more appeal.

Form: 0458

(10)

Franco Grasso¹⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Cameron Noble⁽³⁾| T: P W Chapple-Hyam| OR: 70

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 50/1, sixth of 9 in maiden at Newmarket (10f, good). Off 152 days. Improvement needed now handicapping, but that's possible and he's one to note in the betting.

Form: 636

(6)

La Hulotte¹²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 65

9/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Salisbury (12f, good). Off 126 days. Showed ability in maiden/novice company prior to that and she's worth another chance.

Form: 45-40

(14)

Lochanthem^v¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: M L W Bell| OR: 67| D

13/2

Latest win at Brighton in May. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 13 days ago. Good second at Sandown on penultimate start, and she's a player based on that form.

Form: 314520

(8)

Clarendon Cross^t1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R Hannon| OR: 64

33/1

Blinkered for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Ffos Las (8f, good to soft, 16/1) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Now tried in a tongue strap.

Form: 563560

(2)

Chef De Troupe^t1¹⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 9-2| J: Rob Hornby| T: A Forbes| OR: 60

80/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2017. Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, soft, 100/1) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Poor effort on latest start in this sphere.

Form: 5/66660

(16)

Kentucky Kitten³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: T D Easterby| OR: 64| D

8/1

Winner at Redcar in July. 9/1, third of 4 in handicap at Carlisle (11.2f, good to firm) 34 days ago. Should give a good account, albeit without being quite good enough.

Form: 831343

(4)

Jackamundo⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-1| J: Harrison Shaw| T: D Carroll| OR: 59| BF| D

5/1

Temperamental sort. Twenty runs since last win in 2019. Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, soft, 7/2) 6 days ago, merely closing up late. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 073676

(3)

Divine Comedy^p1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C F Wall| OR: 62

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 4 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time and she needs to take a sizeable step forward.

Form: 05664

(11)

Sabre Jet^p,t⁵⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Stott| T: Miss A Murphy| OR: 62WS

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 11 in juvenile hurdle at Stratford (16.3f, good, 12/1) on NH debut 50 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 36702

(7)

Straight Ash^v²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: S Donohoe| T: R Menzies| OR: 58

22/1

25/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Something to find on form and minor place money is probably his best hope.

Forecasts

Quemonda (9/2), Avarice (9/2), Jackamundo (5/1), Lochanthem (13/2), Kentucky Kitten (8/1), Reverential (8/1), La Hulotte (9/1), Franco Grasso (11/1), Tele Red (12/1), Tundra (14/1), Divine Comedy (16/1), Sabre Jet (16/1), Her Way (16/1), Straight Ash (22/1), Clarendon Cross (33/1), Chef De Troupe (80/1), Ceci Wells (80/1)

This looks wide open and a chance is taken on AVARICE, who has yet to strike on this side of the pond but she will surely go close here if reproducing the form of her effort at Lingfield in June. The 4-y-o was below par back from a break last month, but she should strip fitter now and the additon of cheekpieces may help. Windsor winner Quemonda is second choice ahead of Lochanthem.
