Off time: 20:00 | Winning time: 1m 23.5s

(11)

Jabaara²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: R Varian| OR: 107| D

6/5

Proved at least as good as ever when winning 9-runner listed race at Musselburgh (7.1f, good to firm) 24 days ago, kept up to work. Stall 11 not ideal but big form player.

Form: 22-4621

Ahlain³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: N Callan| T: J Tate| OR: 91| D

40/1

Started and ended her 2024 campaign on a high, and positive start to this year when third in an 11-runner Kempton handicap (7f). Failed to fire back on turf at Haydock and looks up against it on these terms.

Form: 4392-37

Cloud Cover⁷⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: C Lee| T: J Tate| OR: 103| BF| CD

9/2

Smart mare who supplemented her Deauville listed success in class 2 handicap at Newcastle (7f) in January. Proved a disappointment on the back of a breathing operation back there in April but she's the type to bounce back quickly.

Form: 7931-10

(5)

Fair Point³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Rossa Ryan| T: R M Beckett| OR: 102| D

6/1

Useful filly who wasn't seen to best effect when ninth of 13 in handicap (16/1) at Chester (7f, good) on reappearance 31 days ago, headway when hampered inside final 1f (not recover). Not dismissed.

Form: 33120-9

(4)

Lou Lou's Gift^t³⁵³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas| OR: 94| BF| D

9/2

Won 6f Newcastle novice in November 2023 and confirmed the promise of her reappearance (strong form) when landing the odds at Newmarket in June the following year. Progressed again when second back there a month later and open to further improvement despite being off the track since.

Form: 321/312-

(9)

Powdering¹⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: M Herrington| OR: 82| D

100/1

Fairly useful handicapper who won twice earlier in the year but is probably biting off more than she can chew at this level.

Form: 912430

(3)

Stop The Cavalry²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 104

13/2

Useful filly who landed a Chester handicap (6.1f) on reappearance in 2024 and got back on the up when third in 1m listed event at Longchamp in September. Shaped as if needing the run when 5½ lengths fifth of 9 to Jabaara in listed race at Musselburgh (7.1f) 24 days ago and should step up on that.

Form: 15/163-5

(7)

Thelma's Angel¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Connor Beasley| T: G Tutty| OR: 85

40/1

Left her debut form well behind when bagging 5-runner maiden at Ayr (6f) in spring of last year. Improved further when sixth of 9 in a Musselburgh listed event 13 months later before shaping better than the distance beaten suggests when behind Miss Information at Royal Ascot. Drops back to 7f.

Form: 31-60

(6)

Tropical Island^p¹⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-2| J: Cam Hardie| T: R A Fahey| OR: 89

150/1

Bounced back to her best to make a winning return at Ripon (6f) in May but well held both starts since. Cheekpieces back on for this first try at 7f.

Form: 473-160

(1)

Zouky³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-2| J: Harry Davies| T: D Menuisier| OR: 85| D

80/1

Useful mare who shaped as if needing the run on first outing since leaving Philip McBride after 10 months off when eighth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, good) 31 days ago, slowly away. Entitled to strip fitter here but faces no easy task.

Form: 58/549-8

Forecasts

Jabaara (6/5), Cloud Cover (9/2), Lou Lou's Gift (9/2), Miss Information (11/2), Fair Point (6/1), Stop The Cavalry (13/2), Thelma's Angel (40/1), Ahlain (40/1), Zouky (80/1), Powdering (100/1), Tropical Island (150/1)

CLOUD COVER proved a disappointment after a sluggish start at Newcastle in April but given her overall profile, she's not the type to stay down for long so is well worth another chance. Stop The Cavalry shaped as if needing the run when behind the reopposing Jabaara at Musselburgh on her reappearance and should be much closer to form this time. Jabaara has to be respected, along with Miss Information, who landed a Royal Ascot handicap in good style recently.
