Flower Of Scotland²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: P J Dobbs| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 81

18/1

Having a good season but she was well positioned when ½-length second to Sea Sylph in handicap (4/1) at Goodwood 3 weeks ago and plenty to find at this level.

Form: 5-21212

Propriety^v¹⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Jason Watson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 87

66/1

Progressed with each start this term, including when stepped up to this grade when fifth at Ayr. Worth a try at this trip but has a bit to find.

Form: 50-2125

Single²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: George Bass| T: M R Channon| OR: 76| D

80/1

Arrives in decent form but she doesn't win very often and is out of her depth at this level.

Form: 532454

Urban Artist³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-4| J: P J McDonald| T: H Morrison| OR: 101

9/2

Smart mare who looked better than ever when just edged out in handicap at Glorious Goodwood. Struggled in Park Hill at Doncaster since but this much easier. The one to beat.

Form: 12-2326

Abstinence⁸⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Rob Hornby| T: R M Beckett| OR: 98

5/2

Low-mileage 3-y-o who continues to progress, running best race tackling 1½m for the first time when third at Newmarket in July, running on. Likely has more to come up in trip again.

Form: 5-143

(11)

Brunnera^h²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: M Dwyer| T: H Palmer| OR: 98

11/1

Useful filly. Progressive form until disappointed in listed race at Yarmouth 4 weeks ago. Steps up in trip now and worth another chance.

Form: 7-12149

(3)

Goolwa²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding| OR: 89

16/1

Improved again when doubling tally on AW at Kempton. Much better effort over this trip when sixth to Sea Sylph in handicap at Goodwood 3 weeks ago, not seen to best effect. Remains low mileage.

Form: 142146

Pennymoor^p1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 92

25/1

Frankel filly who was a wide-margin winner of a Kempton novice. However, struggled when upped in class both starts since and headgear now applied.

Form: 82105

(14)

Percy's Pride²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Shepherd| T: W J Knight| OR: 85

33/1

Strong in betting when adding to her tally at Ffos Las (11.9f) off 82. Useful form when 2 lengths fifth of 9 to Sea Sylph in handicap at Goodwood since, though was well placed. More needed.

Form: 114715

(13)

Roseabad²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: J Fanning| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 92| C| D

12/1

Quickly back to form when making all at Carlisle (14f) in August and good efforts in defeat off revised mark since. Stamina assured and can make presence felt.

Form: 224153

(12)

Sacred Rhyme³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: S Foley| T: Mrs J Harrington| OR: 92

16/1

Fairly useful filly but highly tried this season, beaten over 7 lengths at this level at Galway latest.

Form: 375924

(8)

Sea Sylph²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

7/2

Progressive filly who showed useful form when winning handicap at Goodwood over this trip 3 weeks ago by ½ length from Flower of Scotland. Not taken lightly.

Form: 2-12721

(4)

Thousand Oaks³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cieren Fallon| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 88| BF

9/1

Kingman filly who progressed again when successful in a 12f Newmarket novice in July, hanging badly left but still forging clear. Only fourth off 88 on handicap bow at Doncaster next time, however.

Form: 3314

Forecasts

Abstinence (5/2), Sea Sylph (7/2), Urban Artist (9/2), Thousand Oaks (9/1), Brunnera (11/1), Roseabad (12/1), Goolwa (16/1), Sacred Rhyme (16/1), Flower Of Scotland (18/1), Pennymoor (25/1), Vindolanda (25/1), Percy's Pride (33/1), Propriety (66/1), Single (80/1)

URBAN ARTIST was a bit disappointing in the Park Hill at Doncaster last time, but she had a positive profile prior to that and sets a clear standard on Timeform ratings. Abstinence is progressing well and was only a length behind subsequent Park Hill winner Free Wind at Newmarket in July, so rates the main threat ahead of Brunnera and Roseabad.
