Mighty Bandit¹⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Edward Greatrex| T: W Greatrex

5/1

Fairly useful winner at 17f over hurdles and changed hands for €420,000 from Gordon Elliott. Sixth of 15 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 100/1) on Flat debut 14 days ago, missing break. Capable of better as stamina is drawn out on the level.

Form: 6

(7)

Ribba Hill⁵²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Grant Tuer

10/1

Expertly prepared to win 5-runner maiden at Newcastle (12.4f) on debut 52 days ago, well positioned in what was a slowly-run race. That probably isn't the most robust piece of form.

Form: 1

(4)

Beale Street Blues^p1

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Planas⁽³⁾| T: Tom Clover

5/1

1,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder gelding. Half-brother to 6f winner Mezzotinto. Wears cheekpieces for debut.

Offiah's Boy⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Hollie Doyle| T: T Ward

100/1

Mid-field on debut but in nothing like the same form when last of 4 in novice event at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 7 days ago.

Form: 74

Guendolen²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Eustace

11/4

Hooded, fourth of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) on debut 27 days ago, never nearer having displayed signs of greenness. Should have more to offer.

Form: 4

(2)

Miss Dandylion¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne

4/1

Promising individual. Fourth of 10 in novice event (25/1) at Lingfield (7.6f, good) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Significantly up in trip. May well do better with that under her belt.

Form: 4

(6)

Pack Ice²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: Ollie Pears

10/3

Promising type. 20/1, second of 10 in maiden at Redcar (10f, soft) 27 days ago, clear of rest. That is comfortably the best form on offer.

Form: 32

(5)

Rust E Gal³²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: William Cox| T: M D I Usher

250/1

50/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 32 days ago, very slowly away. Significantly up in trip.

Form: 8

Forecasts

Guendolen (11/4), Pack Ice (10/3), Miss Dandylion (4/1), Mighty Bandit (5/1), Beale Street Blues (5/1), Ribba Hill (10/1), Offiah's Boy (100/1), Rust E Gal (250/1)

PACK ICE's runner-up effort at Redcar sets the clear standard, and with her limit not yet reached, she has to be the way to go. Miss Dandylion showed ability amidst greenness starting out at Lingfield and the way she shaped there suggests this trip will suit, with Guendolen also of interest.
