Celestial Point^p1²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 57| CD

7/2

C&D winner. Only seventh of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 29 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 132-947

Rivas Rob Roy^b⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-11| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 54| C| D

7/2

Latest win at Lingfield in April. 13/2, good second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good) 7 days ago, going off too hard. Course winner too, so he enters calculations.

Form: 102242

(3)

Habanero Star^p²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-10| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 53| D

6/1

Winner at Yarmouth in May. Only seventh of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good, 9/2) 26 days ago, so she needs to bounce back.

Form: 282-517

(7)

Amalfi Salsa¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: L Morris| T: M Botti| OR: 49

6/1

Respectable third of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 7/2) 17 days ago. Can give another good account in her bid for a maiden victory.

Form: 325353

(2)

Delahoussaye^t,v1¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: P Cosgrave| T: Brian O'Rourke| OR: 56

9/2

Temperamental sort who posted good second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time and well in the mix if on song again.

Form: 0-76332

(5)

Grandstand^v¹⁸

Age: 6| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: R J Price| OR: 45| CD

9/1

C&D winner but he arrives below par, seventh of 9 in handicap at Bath (8f, good to firm, 25/1) 18 days ago. Something to find on form.

Form: 408-677

(8)

Huntsman's Moon¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: David Egan| T: A W Carroll| OR: 48| BF

7/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 11/10, raced freely when fifth of 6 in minor event at this course (9.9f, soft) 14 days ago. Needs to settle.

Form: 88755

Forecasts

Celestial Point (7/2), Rivas Rob Roy (7/2), Delahoussaye (9/2), Habanero Star (6/1), Amalfi Salsa (6/1), Huntsman's Moon (7/1), Grandstand (9/1), Bannergirl (25/1)

RIVAS ROB ROY arrives at the top of his game so this course winner is fancied to go one better than his recent C&D second at the chief expense of in-form maiden Amalfi Salsa. Delahoussaye hasn't proved the most reliable of performers but is weighted to have a say too in a tightly-knit handicap.
