Terries Royale³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: M Appleby| OR: 68

10/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Took a step forward on his exploits in maidens when finishing neck third of 9 to Sycamore in handicap (20/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 35 days ago. Likely he can do better still for his good yard.

Form: 7573

Sycamore³⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 10-0| J: D Swift| T: S Dixon| OR: 66| CD

18/1

2 wins from 6 runs this year. Won 9-runner handicap (10/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 35 days ago, all out. 2 lb higher mark demands a little more.

Form: 124301

Love Your Work¹³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-0| J: Liam Wright⁽⁵⁾| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 66| D

14/1

Has fallen plenty in the weights and capitalised at Leicester in June before following a day later under a penalty at Yarmouth (1m). 15/2, underperformed when fourth of 7 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago.

L'Argent^h1¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: M Appleby| OR: 63

9/1

25/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (10.2f, good to firm) 12 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal but his finishing effort still a tame one. Hood reached for now and good bit to prove at present. Down in trip.

Ciotog^b¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-11| J: R Coakley| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 63| D

12/1

Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good to firm, 12/1) 15 days ago, left poorly placed even allowing for the sound gallop. Lines up here 7 lb below last winning mark.

Gone Rogue²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: P J McDonald| T: C Johnston| OR: 69

18/1

Dual 7f winner last summer but ended 2-y-o campaign with a below-par display and he's struggled to get competitive in handful of starts since returning this year. Others more appealing.

Form: 10-5857

Wonder Smile^t²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: K Stott| T: H Palmer| OR: 68

5/2

Maiden who finished placed in handicaps at Salisbury/Newmarket and best not judged on latest fifth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good) 28 days ago, having encountered a troubled passage. Not one to write off.

Form: 23-8235

Adelabella⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Wigham| OR: 58| BF

11/8

Yet to score but went agonisingly close to bucking that trend when second of 14 in handicap (7/2) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 7 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Well up to going one place better on that evidence.

Lady Ava³⁶

Weight: 9-4| Age: 3

T: E A L Dunlop J: Cieren Fallon

Forecasts

Adelabella (11/8), Wonder Smile (5/2), L'Argent (9/1), Terries Royale (10/1), Ciotog (12/1), Love Your Work (14/1), Lady Ava (16/1), Gone Rogue (18/1), Sycamore (18/1)

ADELABELLA (due to be 2 lb higher in future) went agonisingly close to breaking her duck at Doncaster 7 days ago, comfortably faring best of those ridden prominently and Michael Wigham's filly can confirm the promise of that run and deservedly open her account. Wonder Smile, who is best not judged on her latest Yarmouth effort, and Terries Royale are others fancied to be in the mix.
