New Heights¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Tyler Saunders⁽⁵⁾| T: J G Portman| OR: 78

9/2

Already a three-time winner this year, gaining her latest success at Sandown (9f) in Juy. Not disgraced off a 5 lb higher mark when last of 4 in 10f Windsor handicap 11 days ago so she's well in the mix.

Form: 153114

Just Amber¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: William Cox| T: C G Cox| OR: 77| D

4/1

Arrives better than ever and on a hat-trick after stylish wins in 1m handicaps at Nottingham and Newmarket. Up another 8 lb but she's not taken lightly in her current mood.

Form: 2-64411

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Kingscote| T: D O'Meara| OR: 70| D

3/1

Got off the mark for the season in 3-runner handicap at Chepstow (8.1f) 8 days ago. Must enter calculations under a 5 lb penalty.

Celtic Empress^h,t1¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Ray Dawson| T: H Main| OR: 74| D

11/2

Scored at Newmarket (1m) in May but comes here on the back of two below-par efforts, too free when eighth at Haydock last time. Needs to get back on track.

Form: 515678

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker| OR: 73| D

2/1

Yet to score in 2022 but he arrives in decent nick, fourth of 14 in 1m handicap at Haydock 19 days ago. Considered.

Forecasts

Canoodled (2/1), Alpha Cru (3/1), Just Amber (4/1), Sayifyouwill (4/1), New Heights (9/2), Celtic Empress (11/2)

SAYIFYOUWILL wasn't seen to best effect when third at Newmarket but should have the race run to suit this time so is fancied to capitalise on a good mark and garner a fifth success of 2022. Hat-trick seeking Just Amber rates the obvious threat, although in-form duo New Heights and Alpha Cru need considering too in a tightly-knit handicap.
