Artavian¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: P R Chamings

100/1

£11,500 yearling, Tasleet gelding. Looked badly in need of the experience when sixth of 8 in minor event (33/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 11 days ago, running green and left behind home turn. This should reveal more.

16/1

Twice-raced gelding. 8/1, did no better for debut when sixth of 9 in maiden at Chelmsford (1m) 46 days ago, labouring 3f out before keeping on final 1f. Handicaps entitled to be more his bag on the back of this.

Nostromo⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: William Carson| T: R A Teal

200/1

Twice-raced gelding. 125/1, hinted at ability with debut effort under his belt when eighth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (1m) 40 days ago. Could well do better again but he's another likely type for handicaps in due course.

Form: 78

80/1

(14)

St Just In Time¹³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: Sir M Todd

9/2

Shaped promisingly on debut when second in 8-runner course maiden (10f, heavy) in May and possible much firmer ground was against him when well held at Chepstow 910f) a month later. Could well get back on track with underfoot conditions holding no fears.

Form: 28

(8)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger

150/1

Ulysses filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 1¾m Noble Expression and temperamental 1¼m winner Land of Eagles. Dam maiden (stayed 1½m). Rates a likely outsider on racecourse bow.

Form:

40,000 gns yearling, Zoffany filly. Half-sister to 1m/9f winner Alvediston. Dam winner up to 10.2f (2-y-o 7f winner). Newcomers from yard often fancied.

Doha²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| BF

2/1

Boasts an excellent pedigree and ran to a fairly useful level when third of 9 in maiden at Kempton (1m, 11/4) on debut last month. May have found race coming too soon at Leicester (10f) thereafter but she's well worth another chance to get back on the up returned to 1m.

Form: 34

(12)

Dotties Moon

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Liam Keniry| T: P Phelan

200/1

Sea The Moon filly. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 7f winner). Yard not known for debutante winners and she's likely best watched.

Form:

(7)

Mother Margaret¹³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: R Kingscote| T: H & R Charlton

9/4

Promising sort who ran well when runner-up in newcomers maiden at Newbury (7f, heavy) in April. Not seen to best effect when fourth at Wolverhampton (7f) in June (noted finishing with running left) and she remains the type to do better still returning from 4 months off.

Form: 24

(2)

Realised¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: Harry Eustace

10/1

Once-raced filly. 14/1, fourth of 9 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) on debut 19 days ago. Likely to improve.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Doha (2/1), Mother Margaret (9/4), St Just In Time (9/2), Bluebottle Blue (6/1), Realised (10/1), Inspiritus (12/1), Fictional (16/1), Sir Cilia (80/1), Artavian (100/1), Bloom Of Greece (150/1), Dotties Moon (200/1), Cathaya (200/1), Nostromo (200/1), Credit Note (250/1)

DOHA's Leicester effort has to go down as disappointing bearing in mind her debut promise at Kempton yet, an impeccably-bred filly, she's well worthy of another chance to get back on the up and earns the vote returned to 1m here. Mother Margaret, a good-looking filly, is going the right way and is feared most. Newcomer Bluebottle Blue and St Just In Time complete the shortlist.
