9/4

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (11/2) at Newmarket (8f, good) 30 days ago, easily. Runner-up has franked form since and she's a leading player.

Purple Gown¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Jason Hart| T: A Nicol| OR: 67| D

15/2

One win from 23 Flat runs. Winner at Leopardstown in April. 6/1, good second of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Sound place claims again.

Form: 8-21052

Measured Moments⁴⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Connor Beasley| T: J Butler| OR: 67

3/1

Latest win at Leicester in July. 5/2, good second of 6 in handicap at Sandown (9f, heavy) 47 days ago, conceding first run after very slow break. Shortlist material.

Form: 5-22312

Powdering^b1¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 67| D

18/1

Improved when making winning handicap debut at Hamilton in June. Only eighth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good, 9/1) 18 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Others preferred.

Form: 4-13738

Double Tot³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: J Fanning| T: D M Simcock| OR: 67

12/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, creditable 8¾ lengths fourth of 10 to Victoria Falls in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 30 days ago. Hard to see her turning the tables even on better terms.

Form: 8-794

Chorus Line¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: E A L Dunlop| OR: 67

12/1

Winner at Leicester in May. Looked badly uncomfortable with the pace when ninth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 25/1) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. Yet to show form away from Leicester this season and others make more appeal.

Form: 164449

Streetzoffilly²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Nolan| T: D O'Meara| OR: 66

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good to soft) 24 days ago. Still low mileage but it's likely she'll need a step forward to figure.

Form: 3255

Out Of Mischief⁹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 64WS

50/1

Gradual progress in novice/maiden company but has made very little impression in 2 handicaps so far. Off 91 days (had breathing operation). Not easy to make a case for.

Form: 74-200

(8)

Gracelands Girl¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 59

8/1

Eighth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Carlisle (7.8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Still looks bit too high in the weights.

Form: 34-3508

(4)

Violeta¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: P Mulrennan| T: B Haslam| OR: 62

12/1

Merely closed up late when fifth of 7 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 17 days ago. Some of her earlier efforts this season entitle her to be in the mix having slipped in the weights, though has a laboured effort to shrug off.

Form: 243745

Beautron^t⁷²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 61

33/1

Won at Carlisle in June but has only finished mid-field both start since. More likely needed over this longer trip.

Form: 847-156

MEASURED MOMENTS did well to get as close as she did after blowing the start when runner-up at Sandown last month and having won her prior outing at Leicester, she's fancied to continue her fine vein of form. Victoria Falls beat a good yardstick in decisive fashion at Newmarket and also makes plenty of appeal, with Purple Gown another to consider after her fine effort at Hamilton.
