Glamis Road¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S H James| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 97| D

33/1

Useful 7f winner in 2024 but yet to fire this term, seventh of 8 to Formal in listed race at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 40/1) 19 days ago. Has something to prove.

Form: 441-377

(2)

Anshoda³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: D Egan| T: D Loughnane| OR: 100| D

9/1

Bagged 7f Group 3 at Goodwood last August but she came in last of 9 to Lady Ilze in German 1000 Guineas at Dusseldorf on her return 31 days ago. Sort to bounce back though.

Form: 12160-9

(8)

Beaujolais Nouveau¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: B Haslam| OR: 76

28/1

Resumed her progress with an excellent second of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 19 days ago. This is no easy task though.

Form: 221-342

(3)

Fleetwater²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Billy Loughnane| T: J S Moore| OR: 77

33/1

Resumed winning ways with a career best in 11-runner handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. This demands another big step forward however.

Form: 32-2431

(4)

Love Talk¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 86| D

33/1

A fairly useful 7f winner at 2yrs but she has failed to beat a rival this term, last of 9 in handicap at Epsom (10.1f, soft) 18 days ago. Others appeal more.

Form: 4147-39

(6)

Saqqara Sands¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 99| D

1/1

Highly progressive Oasis Dream filly who resumed with an excellent second of 8 to Formal in listed race at Epsom (7f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Expected to be bang there.

Form: 212-2

The Third Star⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: C A Dwyer| OR: 84| D

20/1

Resumed with 7f maiden win at Southwell in April and advanced her form when eighth of 9 to Kon Tiki in listed race at York (7.9f, good) 40 days ago. Considered.

Form: 6-128

(7)

Verse Of Love⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: W Buick| T: C Appleby| OR: 92| D

6/4

Disappointed in the Nell Gwyn on her return but she made it 2-3 in 6-runner novice at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 55 days ago by 2 lengths from The Third Star. Has more to offer so needs considering back up in grade.

Form: 1-71

Forecasts

Saqqara Sands (1/1), Verse Of Love (6/4), Anshoda (9/1), The Third Star (20/1), Beaujolais Nouveau (28/1), Fleetwater (33/1), Glamis Road (33/1), Love Talk (33/1)

SAQQARA SANDS advanced her form when an excellent runner-up in an Epsom listed event on her recent return so this improving daughter of Oasis Dream is fancied to build on it here and resume winning ways at the chief expense of Verse of Love who got back on track with a stylish victory in a Yarmouth novice last time and could kick on again now. Anshoda and The Third Star can fight it out for minor honours.
