Volenti²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jason Hart| T: A West| OR: 53

28/1

Winner at Epsom in July but that was just modest form and failed to beat a rival both starts since. Up against it.

Form: 0-00196

Bazalgette^p⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Charles Bishop| T: M R Channon| OR: 65

15/2

Exposed maiden who ran respectably in first-time headgear when second of 4 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good, 5/2) 7 days ago, no match for winner.

Form: 36-3452

Borntobealeader⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S M Levey| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 68

7/4

Made a promising return when third in a handicap at Goodwood but form has regressed last 2 starts. Worth considering in this company, though.

Form: 76-3467

Just A Tad^t³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 72| BF

11/10

Improved since fitted with a tongue tie, winning Lingfield maiden (AW) and Windsor handicap in recent months. Disappointed when bidding for hat-trick at Newmarket last time but connections indicated that she had boiled over in the preliminaries. Can bounce back.

Form: 53-6115

Zimmer^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins| OR: 70

20/1

Fair maiden in France but showed more temperament than ability on debut for new yard, virtually refusing to race. Headgear back on.

Form: 53-3860

Miss Metropolitan^v²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽⁵⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 43

18/1

Modest filly who has plenty to find on these terms.

Form: 853453

Forecasts

Just A Tad (11/10), Borntobealeader (7/4), Bazalgette (15/2), Miss Metropolitan (18/1), Zimmer (20/1), Volenti (28/1)

JUST A TAD had excuses when bidding for the hat-trick at Newmarket and this looks an excellent opportunity for her to quickly resume winning ways. Borntobealeader can make a race of it if back to his best.
