Siempre Arturo⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J Mitchell| T: D & C Kubler

13/2

Outstrip gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Glam Puss. Hooded, eighth of 12 in minor event (66/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut 47 days ago, left poorly placed. Probably one for handicaps later on.

Form: 8

Blondelle^v1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K T O'Neill| T: Mrs C A Dunnett| OR: 43

300/1

Modest filly. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Last of 13 in handicap (66/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, hampered under2f out and eased off. Visored for 1st time.

Form: 600560

Gold Aura^p1¹⁰⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Dylan Hogan| T: Jack Jones| OR: 71

6/5

Fair filly. 11/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm), not knocked about. Off 100 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Hannon. Cheekpieces on 1st time and she's not out of things returned to AW.

Form: 347-234

Pourquoi³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hayley Turner| T: D M Simcock| OR: 67

14/1

Lightly-raced filly. 25/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago, midfield and not quicken. Lines up here with yard in good form but step up in trip may be worth exploring.

Form: 25255

(6)

Catrake Force³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: P J McDonald| T: Grant Tuer

6/1

Sent off at a big price but showed plenty to work on when second of 8 in maiden (33/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut 31 days ago. Rates a likely improver with that under her belt.

Form: 2

(2)

Daring Greatly³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Wood| T: Mrs I G-Leveque

150/1

Twice-raced filly. 150/1, twelfth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 31 days ago, running green 2f out and dropping away. Best watched.

Form: 90

(5)

Moda Minx¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes

80/1

Twice-raced filly. 25/1, better for debut when third of 6 in novice event at Lingfield (1m, AW) 12 days ago, outpaced 2f out and keeping on. Steps up in trip now but handicaps likely to be more her bag.

Form: 03

Forecasts

Gold Aura (6/5), On The Cards (2/1), Coolnaugh Haze (3/1), Catrake Force (6/1), Siempre Arturo (13/2), Reason To Pass (7/1), Pourquoi (14/1), Moda Minx (80/1), Daring Greatly (150/1), Blondelle (300/1)

CATRAKE FORCE produced a promising debut effort when second in a Wolverhampton maiden 31 days ago and, entitled to improve for that experience, it would come as no surprise to see her go well. On The Cards showed the benefit of his debut run when second at Lingfield and he's feared, with Gold Aura. Newcomer Reason To Pass is one to note in the betting.
