Sir Winston³¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: David Egan| T: R Varian| OR: 76| BF

5/4

Promising individual. 6/5, third of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 10 months ahead of this handicap debut but he remains with potential and the form of his latest effort reads very well in the context of this race.

Form: 723-

Nikki's Girl^p,h³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: O J Orr| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 73| CD

12/1

C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win here in June. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 12/1) 39 days ago. Hood back on and needs to raise her game.

Le Reveur^b¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: Hollie Doyle| T: M Murphy & M Keady| OR: 71| D

13/2

Unreliable sort. Latest win at Doncaster in June. 40/1, below form twelfth of 20 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 17 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip and, chances are, he'll find a few too good.

Form: 140760

Sisters In The Sky^p1²⁶

16/1

6/1, last of 7 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, heavy) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time and the headgear will need to spark a return to form if he's to play a leading role.

Form: 6-30457

Forecasts

Sir Winston (5/4), Yoshimi (9/2), Trumble (5/1), Le Reveur (13/2), Youarenotforgiven (15/2), Nikki's Girl (12/1), Proud Archi (16/1), Sisters In The Sky (16/1), Obee Jo (20/1)

This race revolves around SIR WINSTON, who will surely prove hard to beat off this opening mark if fully tuned-up following a 10-month absence. He was beaten just over a length when third to Checkandchallenge in a Wolverhampton maiden on his final start at 2 yrs and that rival has subsequently developed into a Group-class performer. Yoshimi and Proud Archi can fill the places.
