Shesadabber⁴^{(ex 4)}

Age: 7| Weight: 9-13| J: Phil Dennis| T: P D Evans| OR: 55| D

11/8

Returned to her very best when opening her account for present yard at Bath (5f) 4 days ago, showing a fine attitude in the process. No surprise to see her out under a penalty and possibilities with yard firmly amongst the winners.

Form: 925631

Golden Gal²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Harry Russell⁽³⁾| T: Ollie Pears| OR: 57| CD

16/5

Dual C&D winner who edged out Shesadabber by a length in this race 12 months ago. Comes here in good heart, back to best when winning 13-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago, well on top finish. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 324591

Zoom Star³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: B Smart| OR: 55| CD

13/2

C&D winner. Seventh of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Carlisle (5f, good) 31 days ago. Not taken lightly returned to this venue.

Form: 1-03227

Lady Pascha²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Zak Wheatley⁽⁵⁾| T: D Carroll| OR: 53

25/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Below form 7 lengths eighth of 13 to Golden Gal in handicap (14/1) at Beverley (5f, good to soft) 21 days ago, fading having raced wide throughout. Remains early days with her and this should reveal more.

Form: 4-368

(8)

Insolente^t,v¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 55| D

9/1

Below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good to soft, 16/1) 11 days ago, weakening last ½f. Visor goes back on now and handicapper is steadily relinquishing his grip.

Form: 514445

Mrs Bagerran²⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Christian Howarth⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss Tracy Waggott| OR: 49| D

15/2

Showed a good attitude to finally shed the maiden tag at Musselburgh (5f) in June and deserving of plenty of credit (up with pace throughout) when reeled in late on over C&D since. Evidently in good heart but she's likely to face competition for the lead again here.

Lola's Moment¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 51

22/1

16/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Haydock (5f, soft) 17 days ago, weakening final 1f returned to a softer surface. Eased 3 lb since and return to class 6 company a plus but others make more appeal on balance.

Form: 735-748

Captain Corcoran^b²⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Mrs Stella Barclay| OR: 45| CD

18/1

C&D winner. Fifth of 13 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good to soft, 20/1) 24 days ago, headway 2f out before weakening final 1f.

Form: 678065

Forecasts

Shesadabber (11/8), Golden Gal (16/5), Zoom Star (13/2), Mrs Bagerran (15/2), Insolente (9/1), Captain Corcoran (18/1), Lola's Moment (22/1), Lady Pascha (25/1)

GOLDEN GAL quickly dispelled a lesser effort over 6f when resuming winning ways from another on a good mark at Beverley (5f) 3 weeks ago and, operating from the same mark as when landing this corresponding race 12 months ago, all looks set fair for another bold showing from what is likely to prove a handy draw. Shesadabber, runner-up to the selection 12 months ago, comes here thriving for David Evans and along with two-time C&D winner Zoom Star, heads up the dangers.
