Zapphire⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Ryan Sexton⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 76| D

11/4

Showed improved form to get off the mark on 7f Haydock handicap debut 48 days ago. Raised 6 lb but there could easily be more to come.

Form: 3-521

(6)

Misty Blues^p,t1³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 75

11/1

Consistent at 2 but has struggled in her 3 outings this year. A first-time tongue tie needs to help her spark a revival.

Form: 325-600

(4)

Mawada³⁷⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: O J Orr| T: R A Fahey| OR: 73WS

17/2

Fair form when placed on all 3 starts in 7f novices as a juvenile. It's taken a long time to get her back to the track but she brings unexposed potential to this handicap debut. One to note in the betting.

Form: 332-

Concon Candy^p³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 73

40/1

Remote last of 4 on last month's turf debut at Chepstow but did show promise when placed twice on AW in the spring. Handicap debut.

Form: 334

Abbey's Dream^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 72| CD

9/2

Dual C&D winner at the turn of the year and got her head back in front when shading a tight finish at Wolverhampton (7f) in first-time cheekpieces 28 days ago. Only nudged up 2 lb and should remain very competitive returned to a venue which suits.

Form: 537241

Turquoise Diamond¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 70| D

5/2

Struck at the second time of asking in handicaps when justifying strong market support at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Drew clear in the closing stages and a 6 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent her going in again.

Form: 9-4351

(2)

Alexa's Princess¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S A Gray| T: K R Burke| OR: 70| D

22/1

Fair form. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (7f, soft, 14/1) on reappearance 16 days ago. Entitled to come on for the outing.

Form: 41630-5

(9)

Carlton And Co¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Lewis Chalkley⁽⁷⁾| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 63| CD

5/1

C&D winner in August. Bit below form fifth of 12 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft) 14 days ago. Back to only 1lb above her successful mark.

Form: 061755

Forecasts

Turquoise Diamond (5/2), Zapphire (11/4), Abbey's Dream (9/2), Carlton And Co (5/1), Mawada (17/2), Misty Blues (11/1), Just Janet (14/1), Alexa's Princess (22/1), Concon Candy (40/1)

There should be more to come from TURQUOISE DIAMOND and she can make light of a 6 lb rise for her recent Brighton success. Abbey's Dream has a good record on tapeta and is second choice ahead of Julie Camacho's Haydock handicap debut scorer Zapphire.
