Amazonian Dream¹⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 77| D

8/1

Returned to form, in first-time blinkers, when second at Ffos Las last month but wasn't in same form at Bath latest and his overall profile is off-putting.

Form: 0-40326

Count Otto^b,h¹¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 75| D

9/1

Returned to form when second of 6 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good) 11 days ago, pushed out (first past the post but subsequently disqualified). Just 1 lb higher now and must enter calculations.

Form: 17948D

(9)

She's Centimental^h1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 79| D

25/1

Won for third time on AW at Wolverhampton in April but hasn't matched that form since and makes limited appeal returned to turf. Hood on first time.

Form: 11-1050

(10)

The Cruising Lord¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-7| J: K Stott| T: R Brisland| OR: 73| D

3/1

Gained reward for his consistency when taking 11-runner handicap at Newbury (6f, good to firm, 7/4) earlier this month, keeping on well. 4 lb rise fair and another bold bid anticipated.

Form: 0/0-3221

(7)

Sassy Belle^b¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: E Walker| OR: 78| D

7/2

Ran right up to best when good third of 7 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Ought to go well again, particularly if the ground eases significantly.

Form: 2321-43

(1)

Heroism^t¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: R Kingscote| T: C G Cox| OR: 78| D

13/2

Lightly-raced colt who has posted creditable efforts the last twice, latest when fourth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) 19 days ago, faring best of those held up. Not out of things.

Form: 17-654

(6)

Alcazan¹⁸⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-5| J: William Carson| T: R A Teal| OR: 71| D

14/1

Scored at Goodwood (off 4 lb lower) in September but not seen since running poorly at Lingfield 6 months ago. Likely best watched.

Form: 3220-30

(5)

Lady Dreamer^t,v²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: T Ward| OR: 75| CD

10/3

Off the mark, in first-time visor, when landing 8-runner minor event over C&D (firm) 22 days ago. Switches to handicaps now and she may have more to offer yet.

Form: 22-4221

Forecasts

The Cruising Lord (3/1), Lady Dreamer (10/3), Sassy Belle (7/2), Heroism (13/2), Amazonian Dream (8/1), Count Otto (9/1), Airshow (10/1), Sarah's Verse (12/1), Alcazan (14/1), She's Centimental (25/1)

There should be more to come from LADY DREAMER, who deservedly broke her duck here earlier this month. She can make a successful handicap debut. The Cruising Lord and Count Otto rate the principal dangers.
