(1)

Show Biz Kid³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 76

11/2

Showed improved form when third on return/handicap debut at Epsom (8.5f) in April and possibly found conditions too testing when fifth of 6 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, heavy) 33 days ago. Looks well worth another chance to get back on the up.

Form: 436-35

Drink Dry^p1¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: M Botti| OR: 75| BF

10/1

Fair maiden who produced an underwhelming effort third of 8 in novice event at Brighton (1m, good to soft) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces reached for returned to handicaps and he may well be sharper here.

Form: 32-9643

Francesco Baracca¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 73| D

16/1

Won second of 3 starts as a juvenile (at 1m) and whilst he's entitled to strip fitter for his first start for 7 months at Newmarket (10f) 18 days ago, he does need to find some improvement from this sort of mark. Returns to 1m now.

Form: 210-0

(11)

Phoenix Passion³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Saffie Osborne| T: E Walker| OR: 72| D

11/5

Yarmouth winner at 2 yrs and improved again this spring, winning handicaps at Windsor/Goodwood at this trip in recent months, showing a good attitude in the process. Nudged up 2 lb for latest success and unlikely he's reached his limit.

Form: 614-311

Ribble Radiant^t1²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 72

100/1

Lightly-raced winner. First start for 7 months, found the competition too hot when last of 15 in handicap (100/1) at York (7f, good) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and this ought to reveal more down in grade.

Form: 136-0

(9)

Roman Secret²⁰¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁷⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 70

25/1

Improved in line with the step up to 1m late last year, runner-up in a C&D nursery before getting off the mark at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in November. That may not prove her limit and not discounted on return.

Form: 236421-

Baynoona¹³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: James Doyle| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 70

12/1

Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 8 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/1) in January. Off 131 days. First run for yard after leaving David Simcock. Interesting handicap newcomer for in-form new stable.

Form: 57-3

(14)

Muttasil³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Tudhope| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 68

7/4

Lightly-raced maiden who shaped better than bare result when 6 lengths fifth of 7 to Phoenix Passion in handicap at Goodwood (8f, heavy, 9/4) 33 days ago. Quicker conditions in his favour here and better expected.

Form: 85-45

(12)

Jolty Jem²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W Muir & C Grassick| OR: 66

20/1

Ran up to best on turf debut when sixth of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 40/1) 23 days ago, not clear run 1f out and keeping on. Still lightly raced on turf and each-way possibilities.

Form: 68246
