Baileys Liberty¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D C Costello| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 66

8/1

Good third of 9 in handicap on the AW course here (7f, 18/1) 11 days ago. 1 lb lower now and a reproduction of that effort will put her firmly in the picture now returned to turf.

Form: 268-663

Major Gatsby^v³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Liam Browne⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 64

11/2

Three wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/3) 32 days ago, digging deep. 3 lb rise fair enough and couldn't rule out in current form, albeit return to turf is a concern (0-4 on grass).

Form: 7-31121

Romantic Memories²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 64

20/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (8f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Needs to raise her game.

Form: 948-0

Nietzsche's Star²⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T P Queally| T: A M Balding| OR: 63

11/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Seventh of 13 in minor event (33/1) at Newbury (7f, good). Off 8 months ahead of this handicap debut and needs to take a sizeable step forward, but he's in good hands and has been gelded since latest start.

Form: 057-

Hines²¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Aled Beech⁽⁵⁾| T: A West| OR: 62

16/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in minor event (100/1) at Newbury (8f, heavy). Off 7 months and it's hard to envisage him making an impact on this handicap debut.

Form: 788-

(9)

Renegade Rose¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 62

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Good fourth of 9 in handicap on the AW course here (7f, 18/1) 11 days ago. Will be a threat if handling conditions back on turf (conditions were testing when runner-up on sole previous turf start).

Form: 5250-4

(5)

True Force¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Rooke⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 60

66/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 9 in handicap on the AW course here (7f) 11 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0-888

Juanita²⁰⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Charles Bishop| T: D J Coakley| OR: 60

14/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 14 in minor event on the AW course here (7f, 16/1). Off 6 months and good deal more required now that she ventures down the handicap route.

9/4

Just An Inkling^p1,h1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: P Cosgrave| T: J R Boyle| OR: 54

28/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 16/1) 40 days ago, slowly away. Hopes pinned on first-time headgear combination of cheekpieces and a hood sparking some improvement.

Form: 440-50

Forecasts

Clipsham Gold (9/4), Renegade Rose (7/2), Nietzsche's Star (11/2), Major Gatsby (11/2), Fulfilled (6/1), Baileys Liberty (8/1), Juanita (14/1), Hines (16/1), Nooo More (18/1), Romantic Memories (20/1), Just An Inkling (28/1), True Force (66/1)

BAILEYS LIBERTY appeared to get back on track when third on the all-weather course here recently and she could be the answer if able to build on that now returned to turf. Major Gatsby needs to be taken seriously having won three of his last four starts, but he has yet to shine on grass and bigger threats may be posed by Renegade Rose, who shaped well on her recent reappearance, and handicap debutant Fulfilled.
