10/3

Triple winner as a 3-y-o. Yet to hit top gear in 2022 but is 2 lb below last winning mark and latest Hamilton third from the front was a fair effort.

3/1

Offered little on debut for Joseph Tuite but shaped very well from a poor position when fourth in a Windsor maiden last month (tongue tied). Runner-up at Goodwood since and now goes handicapping.

Form: 0-42

Melodramatica²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jim Crowley| T: Rae Guest| OR: 73

5/1

Raced exclusively on the AW so far, making a winning debut a year ago. Drop to 7f looked against him 3 weeks ago and is back up in trip on turf debut.

Form: 1-4538

Improvise¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 73| D

9/1

Novice winner at Haydock on second start in September. Well-beaten eighth of 9 to Thoughts of June in listed Cheshire Oaks on return but switched to a handicap and better than the result at Nottingham. Down in trip.

Form: 91-85

(5)

Ashky²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: W Buick| T: H & R Charlton| OR: 72

15/8

Raced in a couple of warm maidens on first 2 starts but unable to fully build on that at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. Lot more to come in handicaps potentially.

Form: 353

Forecasts

Ashky (15/8), D Day Odette (3/1), Alpha Cru (10/3), Melodramatica (5/1), Makinitup (8/1), Improvise (9/1), Magnificence (10/1)

The handicapper may have taken a chance with ASHKY's opening mark given how well the first 2 races she contested worked out so she has to be the call. A Day Odette also runs in this grade for the first time and is a threat, along with Melodramatica switched to turf.
