Ask Peter⁵⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Archie Young⁽⁷⁾| T: C Johnston| OR: 52

10/3

Fourth of 6 in handicap at Wetherby (13f, good to firm, 7/2) 56 days ago, having run of race. Doesn't look straightforward but this is a pretty big drop in class.

Form: 463564

Lechro^v1¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Candlish| OR: 51

6/1

Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Hamilton (13.1f, good) 11 days ago. Visor replaced cheekpieces and assessor giving her every chance.

Form: 069045

Chinese Whisperer¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Cam Hardie| T: H Bethell| OR: 47

11/2

Sixteen runs since last win in 2019. Almost certainly needed the run when eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to soft, 16/1) 14 days ago, missing break. Up in trip and this will reveal more.

Form: 38368/8

Crossbeau^v1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: P Mathers| T: I W McInnes| OR: 46

14/1

Backward step when seventh of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 36 days ago, albeit he was posted wide. Visor on for first time.

Form: 8437-57

Anieres Girl^h⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Billy Garritty| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 56

12/1

Unreliable individual. 12/1, refused to race in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago. Significantly up in trip but backing her clearly comes with risks attached.

Form: 63-670R

(8)

Gerrots^p⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Joe Leavy⁽⁷⁾| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 46

8/1

Creditable fifth of 11 in minor event (14/1) at Musselburgh (12.5f, good) 7 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Form: 807575

(10)

Grand Duchess Olga^b⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Sean Kirrane⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 55

15/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1 and blinkered for first time, very good second of 6 in handicap at Bath (14f, firm) 53 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Rae Guest and more interesting than most at this level.

Form: 68452

(9)

Mad Artymaise⁴¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: G Lee| T: G Boanas| OR: 45

11/1

Creditable third of 9 in minor event at Hamilton (9.2f, good to firm, 14/1) 41 days ago, barely adequate test. Significantly back up in trip, which will suit.

Form: 0-74543

(5)

Beyond Beauty^t²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Shane Gray| T: A Keatley| OR: 45

16/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (9.9f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Back up in trip. Others more persuasive.

Form: 0-5075

Time In Motion^p1⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Connor Planas⁽⁵⁾| T: G Boughey| OR: 45| BF

6/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 7/4) 48 days ago. Cheekpieces on for first time and was clearly backed as though thought capable of much better last time.

Form: 0-006

Forecasts

Ask Peter (10/3), Chinese Whisperer (11/2), Lechro (6/1), Time In Motion (6/1), Buford (6/1), Grand Duchess Olga (15/2), Gerrots (8/1), Mad Artymaise (11/1), Anieres Girl (12/1), Crossbeau (14/1), Beyond Beauty (16/1)

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA made much more of an impact fitted with blinkers when runner-up in Bath in June and she can make her first start for hew new yard a winning one. Ask Peter isn't straightforward but this is a drop in grade. while it will be interesting to see whether the money comes for Time In Motion again.
