Aramis Grey²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Rae Guest| OR: 95| D

12/1

Losing run is mounting up but she arrives here in good form, unlucky not to finish closer still having met late interference when fifth of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (6f) 29 days ago. Likeable sort but her draw on the flank may not be ideal.

Form: 32-2825

Katey Kontent²⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Rossa Ryan| T: C G Cox| OR: 88| D

5/1

Made a winning return to action at Windsor (6f) in May and has run to a similar level both starts in defeat since, creditable third of 8 in handicap back at that venue 4 weeks ago. Remains pretty low-mileage for a 4-y-o and she's respected.

Form: 432-143

Jumbeau^p¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Tom Clover| OR: 87

7/1

Displayed a good attitude in first-time cheekpieces when adding to her sole previous success at Windsor (5.1f) in May. Creditable efforts from revised mark in 2 subsequent outings and she ought to give another good account back against her own sex/returned to 6f.

Form: 25-3127

Havana Pusey¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Hutchinson⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 85| D

9/1

Much sharper with a reappearance run under her belt when successful at Windsor (6f) in June and she again ran well when third from her inflated mark back at that venue 15 days ago. Definite claims of making the frame again in this groove.

Form: 669-713

Sixties Chic⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Charles Bishop| T: J Channon| OR: 80| D

16/1

Has progressed steadily from a low base, gaining her third victory since February in 12-runner Newbury handicap (6f) 8 days ago. Seemed to get going too late when sixth of 15 in handicap at Windsor (6f) 8 days ago but her revised mark demands more in any case.

Kitai¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Watson| T: M Appleby| OR: 80| D

16/1

Ended last season below par and low-key efforts in a couple of AW starts for new stable earlier this year. Little more encouraging back from 5 months off when 2½ lengths sixth of 10 to Star of Lady M in handicap at Newmarket (6f) 11 days ago but more needed if she's to play a lead role here.

Form: 668-086

Princess Shabnam²⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: R Havlin| T: S Woods| OR: 80| D

20/1

Won a listed race at 3 yrs and having proved rather inconsistent on AW/turf this year, she did return to form from an easing mark when third of 6 in handicap at Epsom (6f, good) 27 days ago. Task is to build on that here.

Form: 0-50473

Miss Bodacious¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 82| D

5/1

Dead-heated on second start in a Chelmsford novice (6f) in February and improved a chunk to make a winning handicap debut at Newmarket (6f) on return in June. Not in same form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good) 17 days ago but it remains early days with her.

Form: 3115

Dance And Romance¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-6| J: D Egan| T: A M Balding| OR: 78| D

9/2

40,000 gns purchase who arrives here easily one of the least exposed, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in a Nottingham handicap (6f) 11 days ago. Showed a good attitude then and good chance there's more to come.

Form: 121

(5)

Cuban Melody¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hayley Turner| T: A M Balding| OR: 74| BF| D

17/2

Benefited from the step up to 6f when off the mark in novice company at Windsor (6f) in May and has remained in form in trio of starts since, 1½ lengths fifth of 10 to Star of Lady M in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 11 days ago. Bit more needed here, though.

Form: 231325

(7)

Balmoral Lady¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Hollie Doyle| T: E Walker| OR: 73

11/1

Invincible Army filly. Finished runner-up first 3 starts in novice/maidens and step forward when winning 10-runner handicap at Haydock (5f, good to firm, 10/3) 10 days ago. More on her plate up in class/from out of weights but the return to 6f can help and she's no forlorn hope.

Dance And Romance (9/2), Katey Kontent (5/1), Miss Bodacious (5/1), Jumbeau (7/1), Executive Decision (7/1), Star Of Lady M (8/1), Cuban Melody (17/2), Havana Pusey (9/1), Balmoral Lady (11/1), Aramis Grey (12/1), Kitai (16/1), Sixties Chic (16/1), Princess Shabnam (20/1), Dapperling (25/1)

Boasting some very solid handicap form as a 3-y-o and successful in this race 12 months ago, EXECUTIVE DECISION highlighted she's coming to the boil at just the right time when fourth at Ascot 18 days ago. Easing in the weights, she appeals as a likely type and can make a bold follow-up bid. Katey Kontent, 3-y-o Dance And Romance, Jumbeau and Miss Bodacious are others to consider.
