Kodias Sangarius³⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Aidan Keeley⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 70

22/1

Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Again ran creditably when 1¾ lengths seventh of 10 to Invested in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 6/1) 37 days ago. Now 7 lb below last winning mark and holds solid place claims.

Form: 5044-27

Exigency¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: S Kirk| OR: 70| D

22/1

Won twice in France in 2021 and hinted at a revival when ninth of 16 in handicap (50/1) at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, seeming to go with greater zest in first-time cheekpieces. Step back up in trip should suit and she could show more again.

Form: 6-60079

(7)

Nikki's Girl^p²³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: N Callan| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 69| C| D

12/1

Won at Leicester last summer but ended season in a lull and has bit to prove on return from 7-month absence. Cheekpieces back on.

Form: 144788-

Anificas Beauty²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: G & J Moore| OR: 67| BF| CD

15/2

Won over C&D in April and over 6f here in May. 6/4, creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Higher in weights again here but is impossible to rule out in current vein of form.

Form: 070-112

(4)

Hot Chesnut³⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: R Havlin| T: D K Ivory| OR: 66

9/1

Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Stepped up on return when 1¼ lengths sixth of 10 to Invested in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 10/1) 37 days ago. Frame claims but could do with settling better.

Form: 4290-76

(10)

Bell Song^h⁴³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 72| BF

11/8

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 10 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 13/8) 43 days ago, late headway after conceding first run. Makes handicap debut. Widest draw not ideal but she's open to improvement.

Form: 9-33

(2)

Invested^p1³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: M L W Bell| OR: 71| C| D

15/2

Lightly-raced winner. 2 wins from 4 runs this year. Improved when winning 10-runner event on handicap debut (17/2) at Yarmouth (7f, good) 37 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Only 1 lb higher in weights and should go well again.

Form: 8131

(5)

Miss Sarajevo^p²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hayley Turner| T: R Spencer| OR: 65| CD

12/1

C&D winner. Again looked laboured when last of 6 in handicap at Leicester (7f, heavy, 11/2) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Temperament is under suspicion and others are preferred.

Form: 614-446

(6)

Kynsa¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 65

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Showed more when fourth of 11 in minor event at Doncaster (6f, good to firm, 100/1) 19 days ago. Could make a greater impact from this opening mark.

Form: 0-74

(3)

Topo Chico^p²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Harry Burns⁽³⁾| T: J Parr| OR: 64

10/1

Good efforts when a close second at both Wolverhampton in March and Kempton in April. No impact on return to turf at Newmarket last time but shouldn't be discounted back on the AW from a slightly-reduced mark.

Form: 3-42240

Forecasts

Bell Song (11/8), Invested (15/2), Anificas Beauty (15/2), Hot Chesnut (9/1), Topo Chico (10/1), Kynsa (12/1), Nikki's Girl (12/1), Miss Sarajevo (12/1), Exigency (22/1), Kodias Sangarius (22/1)

INVESTED broke her maiden here in February and got up close home at Yarmouth to make a successful switch to handicaps last time. She is only 1 lb higher in the weights here, so gets the nod ahead of Andrew Balding's handicap newcomer Bell Song. Topo Chico and the thriving Anificas Beauty are also respected.
