Neverbeen To Paris^p²⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-2| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: P G Murphy| OR: 66

28/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2018. 28/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (14f, good to firm) 26 days ago. Minor place money is probably the best he can hope for.

Form: 72-0264

Estrela Star⁷⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 10-1| J: Ray Dawson| T: A Stronge| OR: 65| C

20/1

Course winner. Won 9-runner handicap (9/2) at Chelmsford City (14f) 70 days ago, keeping on well. 5 lb rise tolerable and this 6-y-o should be on the premises once again.

Form: 2346-21

(7)

Tazaman²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁵⁾| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 64

10/1

5/2, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Nottingham (14f, good to soft) 28 days ago, digging deep. More needed up 4 lb, but positive jockey booking and he's a live each-way contender.

Form: 1214-21

(5)

Australian Angel¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: A M Balding| OR: 68| C

7/2

Course winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 10 days ago, overcoming pace bias. More on her plate here under a penalty.

Form: 8-64161

(1)

Borntobealeader²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 70

13/2

Sixth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Goodwood (12f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Down 2 lb and good each-way chance if he puts his best foot forward here.

Form: 276-346

(8)

Meisterzinger^p²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Havlin| T: M D I Usher| OR: 56

50/1

Bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, good, 16/1) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip and he's hard to warm to.

Form: 300-707

(3)

Blenheim Belle^v²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: K Shoemark| T: T Ward| OR: 66

18/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Visored for 1st time, creditable third of 11 in handicap (12/1) at this course (12f, good) 28 days ago. Sizeable step forward needed if she's to open her account here.

Form: 6643

(2)

Wagga Wagga¹⁰^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: H Morrison| OR: 59

4/6

Lightly-raced winner. 6/5, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Pontefract (12f, good) 10 days ago. Due to go up 11 lb, so he's a step ahead of the assessor under a penalty and should prove hard to beat.

Form: 98-021

Forecasts

Wagga Wagga (4/6), Australian Angel (7/2), Borntobealeader (13/2), Tazaman (10/1), Blenheim Belle (18/1), Estrela Star (20/1), Neverbeen To Paris (28/1), Meisterzinger (50/1)

It's hard to look beyond WAGGA WAGGA, who routed the opposition at Pontefract recently and he's effectively 5 lb 'well-in' under a penalty. Conversely, Australian Angel may struggle to cope with a penalty for her Windsor success 10 days ago and Borntobealeader could be the one for the forecast, provided he is able to bounce back having failed to fire at Goodwood last time. Tazaman should make his presence felt, too.
