Ciara Pearl²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: J Mitchell| T: D & C Kubler| OR: 81| C

13/8

Successful on her first 3 starts this year and capitalised on drop back in grade when also winning at Sandown (10f) in July. Found more improvement when runner-up at Salisbury (12f, good to firm) 20 days ago and looks sure to go well again.

Form: 156012

Miss Dolly Rocker²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Jason Watson| T: R A Teal| OR: 75

11/2

Yet to score this term and was never a threat when fifth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm, 20/1) 20 days ago. Others preferred.

Divine Presence^p⁴⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K T O'Neill| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80| BF| D

11/4

Off the mark at Wolverhampton (12.2f) in June and backed that up with creditable third of 11 on handicap debut at Newbury (13.3f, good to firm) 47 days ago. Drops back to lower grade now and must enter calculations.

Form: 4-4213

Ville Natale^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ray Dawson| T: R Varian| OR: 80

12/1

Lightly-raced winner. 22/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Hood back on. Others more persuasive.

Form: 3-2158

(4)

Spirit Of The Bay^b²¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J L Flint| OR: 71

28/1

17/2, fourth of 7 in handicap at Ffos Las (8f, heavy) 21 days ago, nearest finish. Significantly up in trip. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Form: 80-7674

(7)

One Glance²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Liam Keniry| T: A King| OR: 78

20/1

Shaped encouragingly when third of 9 in novice at Kempton (12f) last month and likely has more to offer on handicap/turf debut.

Form: 733

(6)

Bas Bleu¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: L Morris| T: E Walker| OR: 74

5/1

Upped her game when close second of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Newbury (12f, good to firm) 18 days ago. 5 lb higher now but another bold bid is anticipated.

Form: 332832

(5)

Baynoona²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Laura Coughlan⁽³⁾| T: Mrs S Gardner| OR: 69

200/1

First run since leaving Harry Charlton when ninth of 8 in handicap at Les Landes (10f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Work to do.

Form: 57-398

Forecasts

Ciara Pearl (13/8), Divine Presence (11/4), Bas Bleu (5/1), Miss Dolly Rocker (11/2), Ville Natale (12/1), One Glance (20/1), Spirit Of The Bay (28/1), Baynoona (200/1)

BAS BLEU pulled clear of the remainder when caught close home at Newbury last month and still looks feasibly treated off her new mark. Ciara Pearl and Divine Presence are feared most in what looks a competitive contest.
