Cherry Cola⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 10-2| J: Rose Dawes⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss S West| OR: 64| D

9/2

1 lb below her last winning mark and arrives on back of creditable third of 12 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Respected.

Form: 13-4553

Fair Dinkum^t²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-1| J: P J Dobbs| T: J Scott| OR: 63

11/2

Back on the scoreboard when taking 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (13f, AW) 25 days ago, well positioned. Just 1 lb higher now and must enter calculations.

Form: 6417-51

Nadim^b1⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-12| J: S M Levey| T: S Hosie| OR: 60

18/1

Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, tenth of 12 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) on UK Flat debut 7 days ago. Work to do.

Form: 5767/0

Clearance⁴⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 9-12| J: Oisin Murphy| T: M Blake| OR: 60| D

11/2

Disappointing on AW in spring but has scored twice over hurdles since and is worth monitoring in market back on Flat with Oisin Murphy booked.

Form: 0507-08

Baby Sham²²

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: George Downing| T: J W Mullins| OR: 55

33/1

Below-par fourth of 9 in handicap (100/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 22 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 33120/4

Astroman⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-5| J: Mia Nicholls⁽⁵⁾| T: S Hosie| OR: 53

80/1

Good third of 10 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (25.8f, good to firm, 11/1) 42 days ago. Modest on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Form: 68787/6

Godsend^p1⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 65| BF

4/5

Opened account at Ripon (12.1f) earlier this month and ran to similar level when creditable second of 6 in handicap at Ffos Las (12f, good to firm) 7 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Cheekpieces on first time. Big player.

Form: 768-612

Forecasts

Godsend (4/5), Cherry Cola (9/2), Fair Dinkum (11/2), Clearance (11/2), Ardara Rose (7/1), Nadim (18/1), Baby Sham (33/1), Astroman (80/1)

GODSEND should be suited by this stiffer test of stamina and can record his second success. Fair Dinkum and Cherry Cola should also go well.
