11/1

Latest win at Brighton in May. Failed to give her running under a penalty when eighth of 9 in handicap (5/2) at Chepstow (12f, good) 29 days ago. Bounce back needed..

4/1

C&D winner in April. Wasn't disgraced when sixth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Goodwood (14f, good) just over 2 weeks ago. Back down in trip. Probably summed up by her mark at present.

Throubi⁶⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: R Coakley| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 71

15/8

10/3, ran respectably after 9 weeks off when 4¾ lengths third of 7 to Turner Girl in handicap at this C&D (soft) just over 9 weeks ago, not subject to a hard race once the first 2 were beyond recall. Headgear left off this time and she's not out of things.

Form: 54/53-73

Atlantis Blue²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-4| J: T E Whelan| T: George Baker| OR: 69

5/1

Seems to be working her way back, fifth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 9/1) 26 days ago. Back up in trip.

Form: 2330-55

Celebrating Ethel⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: Joanna Mason| T: A W Carroll| OR: 64

9/4

Again shaped better than the bare result even if never really getting competitive when sixth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (11f, good to firm, 11/2) 4 days ago, not clear run under 3f out. Fancied to make her presence felt back under a fully-fledged rider.

Form: 9-67556

Forecasts

Throubi (15/8), Celebrating Ethel (9/4), Turner Girl (4/1), Atlantis Blue (5/1), Absolute Queen (11/1)

A tricky puzzle to solve despite the small field but bottom-weight CELEBRATING ETHEL has been shaping up well for her new yard so gets the nod with a fully-fledged rider back on board at the expense of Throubi, who was behind Turner Girl when last seen over C&D a couple of months ago but remains very low mileage. Atlantis Blue seems to be working her way back, so she can fill out third.
