Ardbraccan^p,t¹³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-3| J: Rossa Ryan| T: M Appleby| OR: 72| D

9/2

Good ½-length second of 8 to Adelabella in handicap (11/2) at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago, not ideally placed. Made her challenge away from where the main action unfolded that day and is worth a chance to turn the tables with that rival.

Form: 242572

Midsummer Music¹¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: R A Teal| OR: 69

14/1

Found run of good form coming to a halt on testing ground at Bath 116 days ago, so will need to bounce back if she's to feature.

Form: 33355-9

Adelabella¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Darragh Keenan| T: M Wigham| OR: 65| D

7/4

15/8, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) 13 days ago by ½ length from Ardbraccan. Going the right way and is expected to be on the premises again.

Form: 535211

Windcrack²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: A M Balding| OR: 70

7/2

Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 6 in handicap (7/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 24 days ago. Needs to up her game if she's to make an impact.

Form: 3-454

(7)

Tronido²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Paddy Bradley| T: S Dow| OR: 69

10/1

Much improved in handicaps, scoring comfortably over 7f on AW at Lingfield and Kempton in June. Couldn't land the hat-trick at Newmarket three weeks ago but still very much one to be interested in.

Form: 0-30112

Unreal Connection¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: Mrs A J Perrett| OR: 66| BF

9/2

On a handy mark and has been in good order lately, finishing well when runner-up at Epsom a fortnight ago. Clearly still of interest, although a steady pace would act against her.

Forecasts

Adelabella (7/4), Windcrack (7/2), Ardbraccan (9/2), Unreal Connection (9/2), Tronido (10/1), Elderflower (10/1), Midsummer Music (14/1)

ARDBRACCAN was just seen off by Adelabella at Newmarket last time but wasn't seen to maximum effect so, on better terms with that rival, she's fancied to turn the form around. Unreal Connection is another definite player if the race is run to suit.
