Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: R Kingscote| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 76

2/1

Given a bit of time since a poor run at Pontefract last time and she had been competitive off similar marks prior to that.

Form: 2-44236

Fearless Bay^p⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: James Doyle| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 72

15/8

Pair of AW wins around 1¼m. Back from a break to finish a staying-on third at Windsor (1¼m) on Monday. This longer trip could suit. Leading claims.

Form: 051-513

Dark Mystery³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: David Egan| T: Ian Williams| OR: 69

10/3

Fair maiden. Well held in Class 2 events at Doncaster and Sandown on his last 2 starts but his mark has come down and he should be more competitive at this lower level.

Form: 23-6390

Mashkuur^b,t¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tyler Heard⁽³⁾| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 68

9/2

Yet to win but not long with this good stable. Second over this trip at Lingfield (AW) a fortnight ago but he was beaten 6 lengths.

Forecasts

Fearless Bay (15/8), Madame Ambassador (2/1), Dark Mystery (10/3), Mashkuur (9/2), Cabrakan (5/1)

This longer trip promises to suit FEARLESS BAY so he gets the vote in the hope this doesn't come too soon after Windsor on Monday. Class-dropping Dark Mystery may give him most to do.
