Ceanna^h¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Rob Hornby| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 95| D

18/1

Impressive winner at Southwell in June but found out in listed company at Carlisle since. Yet to prove she's fully effective on turf.

Form: 961-017

Glorious Angel¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: K Stott| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 90| D

10/1

Completed hat-trick in January, winning at Southwell (twice) and Newcastle. Back to form when fifth in listed contest at Carlisle 17 days ago but mark looks average back in handicap company.

In These Shoes¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-5| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 82| D

10/3

Resumed with 7.5f win at Beverley in April but has looked in the grip of the handicapper since, so others make more appeal in a race like this.

Form: 63-1374

Desert Voice¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: A J Farragher⁽³⁾| T: W J Haggas| OR: 80| D

2/1

Progressive sort who backed up her first success at Yarmouth with a comfortable victory in a handicap at Doncaster a fortnight ago. Time of that race is excellent and she's open to further improvement, so leading claims.

Naomi Lapaglia^h³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Greg Cheyne| T: R Spencer| OR: 80

5/1

Impressive winning debut in novice at Kempton in November but hasn't kicked on from that, only fifth in a minor event at Goodwood last time. Too soon to write off after just 3 outings.

Form: 1-05

Chasseral¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: J F Egan| T: A M Balding| OR: 80

10/3

AW novice winner last September. Generally creditable efforts this term, finding test too much when fifth over 7.6f at Chester last time. Not discounted.

Form: 31-4385

Ibiza Love¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Tommie Jakes⁽⁷⁾| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 78| D

40/1

Fair winner at 2 for Hugo Palmer. Somewhat underwhelming on debut for current yard in a handicap at Nottingham 16 days ago and looks up against it in a race of this nature.

Forecasts

Desert Voice (2/1), In These Shoes (10/3), Chasseral (10/3), Naomi Lapaglia (5/1), Dancing Goddess (5/1), Candle Of Hope (11/2), Eximious (8/1), Glorious Angel (10/1), Mottisfont (10/1), Rage Of Bamby (12/1), Lady Alara (14/1), Ceanna (18/1), Ibiza Love (40/1)

DESERT VOICE is firmly on the up and had a bit to spare when doubling her tally at Doncaster last time, so she's preferred to Candle of Hope, who shaped well in the Sandringham last time. Dancing Goddess is also considered on handicap debut.
