The Flying Ginger^p1⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 79

17/2

Shaped well when third in Pontefract listed event in June but has been below her best in handicaps all 3 starts since. Miss more than hit this term, so best watched now further down in weights.

Pink Carnation^p⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Tudhope| T: A Watson| OR: 80

9/2

Lightly-raced winner. Raced didn't pan out for her when twelfth of 28 in Sandringham Stakes (Handicap) at Royal Ascot (8f, good to firm) 70 days ago. Worth another chance to show what she can do from this mark.

Rainbow Colours¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77

8/1

Won at Ripon and Chepstow in July. May have shown effects of a busy spell when tenth of 14 in handicap (17/2) at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Frame claims if back to best.

Golden Melody¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: T D Easterby| OR: 70

4/1

Successful three times in 2021 and mostly running well in defeat this season, shaping well enough for a long way when seventh of 14 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm, 16/1) 19 days ago. Now below last wining mark.

Smiling Jayne³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76

13/2

Winner at Pontefract in May. 9/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (9f, good) 30 days ago, nearest finish having not been ideally placed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Canterbury Bell^b1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 76

3/1

2 wins from 3 runs this year. 5/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when dead-heating for first in 6-runner handicap at Newmarket (10f, good) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Shortlist material from 4 lb higher mark.

Form: 791-151

Lady Caroline^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: A Mullen| T: H Palmer| OR: 75

12/1

Won Chester novice last term for Tom Dascombe but has made no impact in 3 starts handicapping for current trainer. Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 219-670

Forecasts

Canterbury Bell (3/1), Golden Melody (4/1), Pink Carnation (9/2), Typical Woman (9/2), Smiling Jayne (13/2), Rainbow Colours (8/1), The Flying Ginger (17/2), Lady Caroline (12/1), A La Francaise (16/1), Cosa Sara (16/1)

CANTERBURY BELL is a half-sister to connections' smart filly Lilac Road and looks one with scope to improve beyond her current mark, so is fancied to notch her third win of the year. Royal Ascot was a write-off for Pink Carnation and she is worth another chance in a handicap, whilst Typical Woman arrives on the back of a good effort,
