Amazonian Dream²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Oisin Murphy| T: B R Millman| OR: 86| CD

9/2

3-time C&D winner. 7/1, didn't need to improve to win 8-runner handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 28 days ago.

Form: 1-77131

(9)

Lequinto¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 9-10| J: Jack Doughty⁽⁵⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 85| CD

18/1

Quirky sort. 3-time C&D winner. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 50/1) 14 days ago, ridden too aggressively. On a handy mark and should strip fitter for return.

Form: 21260-8

Elmonjed^p⁴⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas| OR: 89| BF| D

11/10

Lightly-raced winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 17 in handicap (4/1) at York (6f, soft) 44 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Merits consideration.

Form: 11-63

Lucky Man^p²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: R Spencer| OR: 82| D

22/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good, 16/1) 25 days ago. Others make more appeal.

Form: 080-209

Rosa Applause^t1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Harry Davies| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 87| D

6/1

Lightly-raced winner. 9/2, very good second of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Tongue strap on 1st time. Strong claims if she's as effective on turf as AW.

Form: 31-142

(7)

Palmar Bay¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 83| D

11/2

Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago, staying on well. Still not fully exposed.

Form: 2113-96

(5)

Winter Crown²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 77| D

18/1

Last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 7/2) 21 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly and shoudn't be ruled out.

Form: 15-6226

Forecasts

Elmonjed (11/10), Amazonian Dream (9/2), Palmar Bay (11/2), Rosa Applause (6/1), Indian Creak (10/1), Winter Crown (18/1), Lequinto (18/1), Lucky Man (22/1), Baldomero (25/1)

ELMONJED is still unexposed and shaped nicely in a stronger race than this at York last time, so he gets the nod over last-time-out winner Amazonian Dream. Rosa Applause is an obvious player if she's as effective on AW as turf.
