Off time: 18:48 | Winning time: 1m 25.26s

(1)

Ashky²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: T E Whelan| T: H & R Charlton

7/4

Twice-raced maiden. Fifth of 14 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good, 4/1) 29 days ago. That form looks solid (winner has since landed a listed event and the runner-up also scored next time) and she's open to improvement.

Form: 35

(7)

Aurora Papillon²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: B J Meehan

80/1

Twice-raced maiden. 80/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 29 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.

Form: 87

(2)

Coconut Bay¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Nicola Currie| T: H Morrison

40/1

Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 11 in maiden (33/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 12 days ago. Likely to improve for that run and should do better in time.

Form: 8

(3)

Ikkari¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: P Cosgrave| T: George Baker

4/1

Promising individual. 50/1, second of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f) on debut 16 days ago, running on. Likely to improve and she has to enter calculations.

Form: 2

(6)

Queen Of Navarre²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: J R Fanshawe

18/1

Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, last of 14 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, good) 29 days ago. Another who may be seen in a better light when handicapping further down the line.

Form: 80

(4)

She's The Boss

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dane O'Neill| T: S KirkWS

33/1

€15,000 foal, £20,000 yearling, El Kabeir filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 6f-1m winner Ikerrin Road and 1m-10.4f winner Queensberry Rules, both smart. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run.

(5)

Victoria Grove²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Louis Steward| T: H Spiller| OR: 78

5/4

Lightly-raced maiden. Second of 4 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 5/2) 23 days ago. Should make a bold bid to go one better here.

Form: 4842-2

Forecasts

Victoria Grove (5/4), Ashky (7/4), Ikkari (4/1), Queen Of Navarre (18/1), She's The Boss (33/1), Coconut Bay (40/1), Aurora Papillon (80/1)

The form of the maidens ASHKY contested at Newmarket and Nottingham are both working out well, and she is taken to make it third time lucky back at 7f. Victoria Grove looks pretty solid and should give another good account, but the selection may have most to fear from Ikkari, who shaped with plenty of promise on debut and improvement should be forthcoming.
