Hobson Point^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-12| J: Minty Bloss⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ferguson| OR: 67

10/1

Fair maiden handicapper who ran well on first run since leaving Marco Botti when runner-up at Goodwood (7f, good to firm) in June. Not in the same form faced with much softer ground at Lingfield 8 weeks later and virtually refused to race at Thirsk since. Comes with risks after that.

Turquoise Diamond²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 64| BF

5/4

Improved in her 3 qualifying runs and shaped better than the result when 1¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Moondial on her Epsom handicap debut (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago, caught too far back after a slowish start. Remains capable of better.

Form: 9-435

(6)

Major Gatsby^b¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: L Morris| T: W G M Turner| OR: 60| CD

Form: 423464

Native Beach²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Sir M Todd| OR: 62| D

13/2

Winner of a maiden at Wolverhampton (7f) in April. Third on 8.6f handicap debut there next time but well below par in 4 outings since. Needs to stage a revival.

Form: 134760

7/2

In good form this summer, winning over 7f on fast ground at Salisbury in June and Epsom (Turquoise Diamond behind) in August. Likely to go well again.

Turquoise Diamond (5/4), Moondial (7/2), Major Gatsby (9/2), Native Beach (13/2), Hobson Point (10/1), Run Cmc (14/1), Mayz (22/1)

Although TURQUOISE DIAMOND was behind Moondial at Epsom last time there were excuses and she's given another chance to show she can do better in handicaps for her leading stable. The Kublers' filly can follow her home.
