85/40

Best form on tapeta, winning 5f Wolverhampton novice in May and placed the last twice over this trip. Form of his Southwell third is looking good (first 2 won next time) and he won't be far away if proving himself as effective on turf.

7/1

Poor run at Brighton last time but had been in decent form prior to that with placed efforts at Redcar and this track over 7f. Drops back to sprinting for first time since 2-y-o days and potentially on a good mark.

Forecasts

Bonita B (7/4), Phinow (85/40), Thismydream (16/5), Silver Kitten (7/1), Harb (7/1), Showdiemlad (20/1)

THISMYDREAM is a 19-race maiden but has only one blip to his name since joining Michael Attwater and could strike for his local trainer now having been dropped 2 lb following a fair run at Windsor. In-form Bonita B was in front of him on that occasion and she seems sure to give another good account with Buick up. Phinow is a big danger if replicating his recent AW form back on turf.
