Red Evelyn^p⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen| T: J Butler| OR: 57| D

10/3

2 wins from 6 runs this year. 8/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, firm) 9 days ago, having run of race. First run for yard after leaving Simon Pearce and she's not out of things in present groove.

Letter Of The Law^b¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Mr Taylor Fisher⁽⁵⁾| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 54| D

7/2

Latest win at Brighton in May. Creditable second of 7 in handicap back at that venue (9.9f, good to firm, 4/1) 17 days ago. Not taken lightly.

Form: 825122

Zandora¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Ben Sanderson⁽³⁾| T: R Brisland| OR: 52

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 25/1) 11 days ago, slowly away and always behind. More needed.

Form: 866-07

Romanovich^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Darragh Keenan| T: J G M O'Shea| OR: 51| BF| C

10/3

Confirmed previous promise when off the mark in first-time cheekpieces here (7f) on penultimate start in May. Respectable third on back of small rise in weights at Brighton (8f, good to firm, 2/1) 17 days ago and entitled to be thereabouts again.

Form: 65-6213

Bawaader^h⁷⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 9-4| J: Josephine Gordon| T: A Sadik| OR: 50| D

12/1

Latest win at Chelmsford City in January. 20/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 70 days ago. Others more persuasive with hood refitted.

Kenstone^p¹⁰⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 9-4| J: Billy Loughnane⁽³⁾| T: A Wintle| OR: 50| CD

7/1

C&D winner. 7/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) in March, weakening over 1f out. Absent since but he returns with yard amongst the winners and booking of Billy Loughnane is an eye-catching one from his much-reduced mark.

Form: 5895-37

Sous Surveillance³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Joshua Bryan| T: D J S Ffrench Davis| OR: 50

40/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, eleventh of 14 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (15.9f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Betting may prove useful making first start in this sphere for present yard.

Form: 88900-

Millicent¹²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: K T O'Neill| T: K Frost| OR: 46| D

7/2

Boasts just the one victory from 20 starts but she comes here having ran best race of present campaign when third at Nottingham (8.3f) 12 days ago, that despite operating from 5 lb out of the weights. Player with a repeat.

Form: 175-963

Moorgate^p1¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Georgia Dobie⁽³⁾| T: P G Murphy| OR: 45

125/1

Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Last of 6 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good to firm, 150/1) 17 days ago, beaten 2f out. Cheekpieces on for 1st time here but he's hard to warm to.

Form: 0-5896

Forecasts

Red Evelyn (10/3), Romanovich (10/3), Millicent (7/2), Letter Of The Law (7/2), Kenstone (7/1), Bawaader (12/1), Sous Surveillance (40/1), Zandora (50/1), Moorgate (125/1)

MILLICENT isn't the most consistent but she signalled a clear return to form despite operating from out of the weights when third at Nottingham 12 days ago and, now from her correct mark, could be worth chancing to back that up now. Veteran Kenstone is also interesting back from a break with his yard in good order, whilst the John O'Shea trained-pair Letter of The Law and Romanovich could also play a part.
