11/4

Won a point bumper and found the test inadequate when a close fifth of 7 at Stratford for Mrs Teresa Clark in June. Transferred to a powerful yard and took a step forward fitted with a tongue strap when runner-up at Worcester (16f, good) 12 days ago. Can go one better here.

Form: 5/1-52

Form: 4

Princess Unique^h1³⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: P & M Bowen

28/1

Bred to need further and has finished down the field on both outings in bumpers so far. Hood applied but others more persuasive.

Form: 76

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien

4/9

Passing Glance filly. Half-sister to fair 2m hurdle winner Call Me Tara, stays 2¼m. Dam placed in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful staying hurdler/chaser Caddie Master. Newcomers from yard often fancied.

Forecasts

Shakiyra (4/9), Fountainspinklady (11/4), Dontmesswithme (11/1), Honey Crisp (22/1), Princess Unique (28/1)

FOUNTAINSPINKLADY took a step forward from her debut when runner-up at Worcester 12 days ago and with further improvement anticipated, Anthony Honeyball's 5-y-o is taken to make it third time lucky at the expense of newcomer Shakiyra, who represents a top yard and would need to be no superstar to get involved first time up. Honey Crisp can fill out third spot.
