(1)

Anificas Beauty¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Robert Tart| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 70

12/1

Improved when bagging a 6f Chelmsford novice on final start of her 2-y-o campaign. Well held both starts this term, last of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 18/1) 17 days ago. Down 4 lb and this is easier.

Form: 461-40

(2)

Me Next²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: George Rooke| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 68

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Off 10 months/first run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton when seventh of 8 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to soft, 12/1) 25 days ago. Could build on that.

Form: 854-7

(3)

Spanish Mane^p⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁷⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 60| BF| C| D

3/1

Latest win here in June. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D (good) 7 days ago, having to pick way through. Up in class but certainly a contender in her current form.

Form: 58-6313

(7)

Loquace²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Cosgrave| T: R Hannon| OR: 67

4/1

Maiden. 18/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (7f, good) 23 days ago, slowly away. Needs a revival.

Form: 33-3850

(5)

Madame Bonbon¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 65

7/1

Maiden. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (7f, good, 9/1) 12 days ago. Could find a small race.

Form: 23-4674

(6)

Celestial Point^p¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Rhys Clutterbuck⁽³⁾| T: G & J Moore| OR: 56| BF| C

3/1

Course winner. 7/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, third of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, good) 14 days ago. That was her best run of the year and she's worth considering down further in trip.

Form: 32-9473

(4)

Doolily^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 63

15/2

Maiden. Blinkered for 1st time, last of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 11/2) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Has work to do.

Form: 223-440

Forecasts

Spanish Mane (3/1), Celestial Point (3/1), Loquace (4/1), Madame Bonbon (7/1), Doolily (15/2), Me Next (10/1), Anificas Beauty (12/1)

CELESTIAL POINT ran well in first-time cheekpieces over a mile here a fortnight ago, giving way only late on, and she could be the way to go down another furlong this time. Spanish Mane is in good form and worthy of respect, while Madame Bonbon could easily pick up a race like this one.
