Sayifyouwill¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: S M Levey| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 77| D

4/1

2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Kempton in May but followed that victory with a below par effort there a fortnight ago. Frame claims if able to bounce back.

Form: 5-31718

Eximious²⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 87| D

11/4

Looked a useful prospect when readily taking a 7f Salisbury maiden on her second start but seemed to be found out when down the field in the Rockfel Stakes on next start. No chances taken with opening mark but she certainly warrants a market check.

Form: 210-

Ellexis⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Rooke| T: R A Teal| OR: 82| D

22/1

Off the mark with plenty in hand switched to all-weather in 10-runner maiden at Lingfield on second and final outing at 2 yrs. Didn't look especially well in her coat and finished well held on return at Kempton in April, so bit to prove now on handicap bow.

Form: 41-5

Havana By The Sea¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Jim Crowley| T: Craig Lidster| OR: 82

4/1

Failed to step up on her return when eighth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 18 days ago. Player on pick of last season's efforts but others make more appeal overall.

Form: 5153-68

Prenup²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Marco Ghiani| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 72| D

6/1

Made winning start for this yard at Wolverhampton in March. Again ran well when fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 25 days ago, nearest finish. Should be in the mix.

Form: 384-134

Ludmilla²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 78

3/1

Plenty of promise in Newmarket novice late last year and though she hasn't quite hit those heights yet this term, she enters handicaps from a workable looking mark and could be worth chancing.

Form: 3-94

(7)

Dynamite Katie⁸³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Connor Planas⁽⁵⁾| T: G Harris| OR: 78| D

66/1

Made second start at Dundalk a winning one in 7f maiden in December. Similar form in defeat there both subsequent outings and it will be interesting to see whether market speaks favourably on her first run since leaving Miss Natalia Lupini.

Form: 71-24

Forecasts

Eximious (11/4), Ludmilla (3/1), Sayifyouwill (4/1), Havana By The Sea (4/1), Prenup (6/1), Discretion (13/2), Ellexis (22/1), Dynamite Katie (66/1)

LUDMILLA arguably shaped best when third in a Newmarket novice late last season and though she hasn't yet progressed as expected, the switch to handicaps may now help her get back on track and belatedly build on that promise. Discretion shaped with plenty of encouragement on her return at Kempton a fortnight ago and is feared most, with Prenup also capable of extending her good start for her new yard.
