Pretty Sweet^p²³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Harry Davies⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 88| D

12/1

Not out of the first 3 in her first 10 starts but comfortably held in big-field handicaps on her last 2 starts, latterly over 1m at the Royal meeting here. Steps back up markedly in trip now.

Form: 221-300

Topanticipation^h²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Pierre-Louis Jamin⁽³⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 87| BF| D

13/2

Frustrating last season but it all came together with wins at Leicester (1¼m) and York (1½m) this spring. Travelled like one who is still on a good mark when third of 12 back at York (1½m again) since. Should give another good account.

Form: 226-113

Swoon⁶⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 86| D

7/2

Two wins from 4 runs last year and actually ran her best race yet when third to a couple of progressive 3-y-os in 1½m Doncaster handicap on her reappearance in May. Likely to be thereabouts.

Form: 6112-3

Crema Inglesa^h⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Saffie Osborne⁽³⁾| T: J A Osborne| OR: 85

17/2

Gained third success of 2021 at Sandown (1¼m, heavy) in September and has returned better than ever, filling the frame both starts in handicaps at up to 1½m. No reason why she won't give her running again.

Form: 5128-23

Tregony³⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Hollie Doyle| T: C G Cox| OR: 82

9/1

Rapid improver in 1¼m handicaps last season, winning 5 times between June and September. Running creditably in defeat this term but it would appear that her progression has levelled off.

Form: 131-443

(3)

Makinmedoit^t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Benoit D L Sayette⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 90

13/2

Confirmed promise showed as a 2-y-o when off the mark in a Brighton maiden on her reappearance and better form in defeat since, particularly when length third on Chester handicap debut, keeping on after short of room. Good claimer up.

Form: 22-1383

Hello Jumeirah⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: W J Haggas| OR: 84

2/1

Golden Horn filly who impressed when landing Kempton maiden (11f) on debut in April. Hasn't progressed as quite expected in 2 runs since but still very early days and could easily take a step forward now handicapping. Stable has won this twice since 2014.

Form: 152

Aiming High^h³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: J P Spencer| T: D M Simcock| OR: 79| BF

16/1

Improved for the step up to 1¼m when making a successful handicap debut at Doncaster in May. Something can't have been right when last of 5 at Salisbury since. No surprise were she to resume her progression now.

Form: 75-214

Forecasts

Hello Jumeirah (2/1), Swoon (7/2), Topanticipation (13/2), Makinmedoit (13/2), Crema Inglesa (17/2), Tregony (9/1), Pretty Sweet (12/1), Aiming High (16/1)

A competitive event in which Harry Eustace appears to hold a strong hand. MAKINMEDOIT caught the eye a bit at Chester last time and can come good under leading 5 lb claimer Benoit de la Sayette, perhaps at the main expense of stablemate Topanticipation. Hello Jumeirah may prove best of the remainder.
