Polling Day⁹⁴¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: L Morris| T: A Watson| OR: 92| CD

5/1

Won at this course on both starts back in 2021, landing the odds in 7-runner minor event (12f) on second occasion. Has lengthy absence to overcome on first run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Interesting contender.

Lookingdandy¹⁸²

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: D Nolan| T: P D Evans

150/1

Well held in bumper/poor form over hurdles, pulled up in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good to soft, 9/1) when last seen in May. Off 6 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving Ben Pauling.

Calshot Spit²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: George Bass⁽³⁾| T: J Channon

80/1

Offered little when well-beaten twelfth of 15 in bumper (12/1) at Exeter (13.2f, soft) on debut 25 days ago. Major step forward required.

Green Go¹⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Paddy Bradley⁽³⁾| T: P Phelan

150/1

Showed a bit on his first outing when fifth of 8 in maiden (7/1) at Leicester (7f, heavy) in May. Significantly up in trip as he makes first run for yard after leaving Roger Varian.

Form: 5

Hosanna Power⁵⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Sir Michael Stoute| BF

5/4

After 11 months off, failed to progress from debut when second of 8 in maiden (13/8) at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) 58 days ago. However, he's bred to be suited by this longer trip so he remains capable of better.

Form: 2-2

Indemnity³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Egan| T: R Varian

6/4

Again showed plenty of promise when second of 7 in maiden (6/4) at Newcastle (10.2f) 36 days ago, keeping on having travelled better than most. Can go one better with more still to offer.

Form: 22

Popcorn Magic

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: David Probert| T: A M Balding

10/1

Mastercraftsman colt. Dam unraced half-sister to King's Stand Stakes/Qatar Prix de l'Abbaye de Longchamp winner Goldream. Makes plenty of appeal on paper, so he's one to note first time up.

Silk Purse

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: George Wood| T: J Butler

125/1

Sir Percy filly. Half-sister to ungenuine 1½m winner Wally's Wisdom. Dam winner up to 1¼m (2-y-o 1m winner) out of 1¼m-1½m winner Tidal. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on her belated debut.

Form:

Bloom Of Greece³³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Gina Mangan⁽³⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger

200/1

Green when ninth of 14 in maiden (150/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft) on debut 33 days ago. Looks one for the longer term she goes up in trip.

Form: 9

Dotties Moon¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: P Phelan

50/1

Ran to similar level as on debut when never-dangerous eleventh of 14 in minor event (200/1) at Kempton (1m) 12 days ago. Up in distance but will be of more appeal in handicaps.

Form: 60

(12)

Luna Dipinta

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: K P De Foy

28/1

23,000 gns foal, 5,000 gns yearling, Zoffany filly. Sister to 1m winner Zoffany Street and half-sister to 1½m winner Persistence. Watch for market clues.

Rapallo⁸⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey

100/1

Again failed to beat a rival when well held in 5-runner maiden at Brighton (1m, good, 66/1) 89 days ago. Needs to leave her first 2 efforts well behind upped in trip.

Form: 05

Forecasts

Hosanna Power (5/4), Indemnity (6/4), Polling Day (5/1), Popcorn Magic (10/1), Luna Dipinta (28/1), Dotties Moon (50/1), Calshot Spit (80/1), Rapallo (100/1), Silk Purse (125/1), Lookingdandy (150/1), Green Go (150/1), Bloom Of Greece (200/1)

INDEMNITY has shaped promisingly when runner-up on both of his starts so far, travelling better than most at Newcastle on the latest occasion, and he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Hosanna Power has also finished second on his 2 outings and is feared most, while Polling Day is interesting despite his lengthy absence.
