Nibras Angel^t⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: Raul Da Silva| T: I Mohammed & J Santos| OR: 87| D

13/2

Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to soft, 22/1) 9 days ago, running on. Looks competitive on form.

Form: 690603

Rockymountainway⁴⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: C Fellowes| OR: 86| D

9/2

Progressive since handicapping, finding a chunk of improvement when scoring by 5 lengths at Carlisle (7f, soft) last time. That resulted in an 11 lb rise but she could easily have more to offer.

Form: 373121

(2)

Mereside Diva⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: Joanna Mason| T: T D Barron| OR: 82| C| D

9/4

Course winner. Five wins from 18 Flat runs. Latest win at Thirsk in June. 11/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Should give another good account.

Form: 179722

Powdering²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: T Eaves| T: M Herrington| OR: 77| D

33/1

Four wins in April/May. Bounced back from a couple of lesser runs when third of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.5f, good to soft) 20 days ago, running on.

Form: 114003

Princess Alex⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: S H James| T: K R Burke| OR: 75| D

9/1

Below-form sixth of 10 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form: 886526

Rock Melody^p¹⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 8-12| J: Amie Waugh⁽³⁾| T: J S Goldie| OR: 73| CD

20/1

More miss than hit since a 6f Hamilton win in August but the fact she won this race off a 4 lb higher mark last year makes her a dangerous one to discount.

Form: 104097

(4)

Eminent Jewel³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 74| D

10/1

Made it 2-3 for the year when leading late on at Newcastle (7f) 34 days ago. Quite well on top at the line and a 4 lb rise may not stop a filly who is fresh for this stage of the season.

Form: 220-131

(1)

Come On You Spurs^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-10| J: Jason Hart| T: R Spencer| OR: 73| D

18/5

On a hat-trick after soft-ground wins over 7f at Sandown and Epsom last month.

Form: 135211

Forecasts

Mereside Diva (9/4), Come On You Spurs (18/5), Rockymountainway (9/2), Nibras Angel (13/2), Princess Alex (9/1), Eminent Jewel (10/1), Rock Melody (20/1), Powdering (33/1)

Perhaps best to focus on the 3-y-os, with EMINENT JEWEL selected to take another step forward and prove too strong for Rockymountainway and the hat-trick seeking Come On You Spurs.
