Prepense³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: R Kingscote| T: Sir Michael Stoute| OR: 85| D

11/10

Showed improved form to make a winning return in a Newmarket maiden (7f) in April. Below best at Kempton next time but not seen to best effect when third in 6-runner handicap (7f) at first-named venue last month. Ease in class rates a plus here and she's one to consider.

Form: 22-163

Liberalist⁹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Callum Shepherd| T: M L W Bell| OR: 84| D

8/1

Placed both starts as a juvenile and found some improvement to make a winning return in a Thirsk maiden (7f, soft) in April. Never figured in Group 3 Fred Darling later that month but this rates more suitable back from a break and underfoot conditions will hold no fears.

Form: 23-19

(6)

American Belle^t³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: R Havlin| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 81| D

4/1

2 wins from 4 runs this year. Fourth of 6 in handicap (18/5) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 33 days ago. Not out of things.

Form: 32-2114

Windsor Pass⁴²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: J Butler| OR: 71

25/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 18/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 42 days ago, headway from 2f out but never a threat. Lurking on a handy mark so one to keep an eye on, particularly if betting speaks in her favour.

Form: 0/24406

Icy Dip³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Morrison| OR: 76

10/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Kempton in April. Seventh of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 34 days ago, making little impression. Return to 1m may well suit ideally.

Form: 051-107

Sonemos³⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy| OR: 75| BF| C

5/1

Improved model this term, building on her Kempton reappearance run to score over 1m here in May. Good second under another front-running ride at Sandown (1m) and fancied to give another good account for all she's yet to tackle ground softer than good.

Form: 099-213

Forecasts

Prepense (11/10), American Belle (4/1), Sonemos (5/1), Liberalist (8/1), Icy Dip (10/1), Windsor Pass (25/1)

This looks less demanding than the race PREPENSE contested at Newmarket last month and, with form on ground softer than good, she could well be the way to go. Sonemos and American Belle head the dangers, whilst the returning Liberalist is one to keep an eye on also.
