Tucson Cloud⁶⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 80

7/2

Made a successful start to her handicap career at Leicester (1¼m) in May. Something presumably can't have been right when remote last of 4 over 1½m at Newmarket the following month and she's been given time since. Remains unexposed.

Form: 62-314

Madame Ambassador^p²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 80| D

4/1

Career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Newmarket (1½m, good to firm, 2/1) 25 days ago, battling well. The runner-up won next time so a 4 lb rise looks fair. Makes tapeta debut. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 442361

Belied odds of 50/1 to make a winning debut in an 11-runner Newcastle novice (1m) in February. Ran no sort of race when last of 10 in novice at Wolverhampton 6 months later and sets out in handicaps with something to prove.

Form: 10

Forecasts

Gold Charm (7/4), Bellstreet Bridie (10/3), Tucson Cloud (7/2), Madame Ambassador (4/1), Arclight (5/1), Virtuoso (12/1), Hezmie (66/1)

MADAME AMBASSADOR's latest Newmarket success came in a small field but the form has been boosted and she may be able to cope with a 4 lb rise. Gold Charm would have been closer but for being hampered at Newcastle and is feared most ahead of recent Yarmouth maiden winner Bellstreet Bridie.
