Classic Times³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian

3/1

Bred to be useful but just hinted at ability when seventh of 13 in a Newbury novice (1m) on debut 37 days ago, not knocked about. In good hands and she can be expected to improve.

Form: 7

Copy Artist²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: A M Balding| OR: 88

8/11

Progressive form when runner-up first 3 starts in maiden/novice company upon returning this term. Never a threat in Sandringham Handicap at Royal Ascot since but sound claims returned to calmer waters.

Form: 8-2220

Raimunda⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: D & C Kubler

12/1

Twice-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in maiden at this course (10.2f, good, 28/1) 58 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Steps back down in trip now and she remains capable of better.

Form: 44

Romilda

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Greg Cheyne| T: W J Haggas

5/1

Kingman filly. Half-sister to 1½m-15f winner Poet's Quest and smart 7f winner New Science. Dam winner up to 1½m (2-y-o 7f winner) who stayed 14.5f. Noteworthy newcomer.

33/1

Once-raced maiden. 10/1, third of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) on debut 23 days ago, plugging on from 2f out. Another likely type for handicaps later on.

Copy Artist (8/11), Classic Times (3/1), Romilda (5/1), Dance Time (11/1), Raimunda (12/1), Dreamrocker (12/1), Streetzoffilly (33/1)

COPY ARTIST never figured in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last month but Andrew Balding's filly had previously been shaping up well in novice company and, returned to calmer waters, she's fancied to bounce back. Romilda is an appealing newcomer for a powerful yard and she needs monitoring. Raimunda and Dreamrocker are others that can do battle for minor honours.
