Sky Storm⁷⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Buckley| T: A Stronge| OR: 55

10/1

Seventh of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Lingfield (6f, good) 70 days ago. Best to look elsewhere.

Form: 334/877

(8)

Adaay Atatime^v1¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Morgan Cole⁽³⁾| T: C G Cox| OR: 57

8/1

Blinkered for 1st time, last of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to firm, 14/1) 16 days ago. Connections now roll the dice with a visor and, off this reduced mark, he'll be a threat if responding well to the new headgear.

Form: 87-6657

Amalfi Gem⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Christian Howarth| T: P G Murphy| OR: 54| D

18/1

Winner at Bath in May. 12/1, last of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 54 days ago. Others more persuasive from a win point of view.

Form: 40-6018

Ellie Piper²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Harry Burns| T: R Brisland| OR: 50

5/1

Good second of 10 in minor event at Leicester (6f, good, 17/2) 25 days ago. Will surely have a leading role to play back in handicap company if able to back that effort up.

Form: 766-792

Juanita^h²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley| OR: 53

4/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 26 days ago, left poorly placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 466-656

(9)

Pollinate⁶⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: H Candy| OR: 48| D

10/3

Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/1) at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 66 days ago. Expected to be bang there with Callum Hutchinson again in the hot-seat.

Form: 482471

Master Sully¹⁸⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Mollie Phillips| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

16/1

100/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW). Off 6 months ahead of this turf debut and he's hard to make a case for.

Form: 6077-07

Vincenzo Coccotti^p⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-0| J: Aidan Keeley⁽³⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 45| D

12/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Tenth of 12 in handicap (25/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago. Looks vulnerable.

Form: 378460

(7)

Kaswarah²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Gina Mangan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 45

8/1

Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Dundalk (8f, 14/1) 27 days ago. Down in trip on debut for new yard. Hasn't shown much in five previous runs on turf.

Form: 309260

(3)

Pokhara¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: K P De Foy| OR: 48

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1, sixth of 12 in minor event at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Makes handicap debut and needs to raise her game.

Form: 5-696

Forecasts

Pollinate (10/3), Juanita (4/1), Ellie Piper (5/1), Adaay Atatime (8/1), Kaswarah (8/1), Pokhara (10/1), Sky Storm (10/1), Vincenzo Coccotti (12/1), Master Sully (16/1), Amalfi Gem (18/1)

Though ADAAY ATATIME failed to fire when tried in blinkers at Salisbury recently, he sports more severe headgear this time and is worth chancing off this reduced mark in a lower-grade handicap. Pollinate is an obvious threat on the back of her breakthrough success at Bath, while Ellie Piper also needs considering on the back of a creditable effort at Leicester.
