A Lady Forever²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: Finley Marsh| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 49

9/4

Modest mare. First run since leaving Roger Fell when below form third of 10 in minor event at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 13/2) 26 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Enters calculations.

Form: 0555/13

(9)

Captain Bentley²⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: J F Egan| T: M Mullineaux| OR: 37

80/1

Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. Last of 8 in handicap (50/1) at this C&D (soft) 25 days ago. Readily passed over.

Form: 9780-88

(5)

Fishermans Cottage^h⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: M S Saunders| OR: 49

6/4

Modest gelding. Winner at Salisbury in May. Creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D (good, 11/2) 9 days ago. Clear chance on these terms.

Form: 152232

(4)

Marcus^v1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: C Wallis| OR: 44

16/1

Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 16/1, sixth of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 22 days ago. Visored for 1st time and likely to come up short once again, unless the new headgear has the desired effect.

Form: 37-3936

(3)

Midnight Call^h¹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Matthew Slater⁽⁷⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 49

4/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, respectable third of 7 in handicap at this course (6.1f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Hood back on and she's worth considering at this level.

Form: 660-53

(2)

Bluesy Moon^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Oliver Searle⁽⁵⁾| T: M J Attwater| OR: 44

33/1

Poor filly. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 20/1) 14 days ago and she again looks vulnerable.

Form: 7-83284

(7)

Fregola²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R Hannon| OR: 43

33/1

33/1, last of 11 in minor event at Leicester (5f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Now 0-11 and others make more appeal.

Form: 88-3040

(8)

Glamorous Jewel⁴²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Gina Mangan| T: C Mason| OR: 26

11/1

Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good, 50/1) 42 days ago. Hard to fancy.

Form: 705-5

(1)

Lady Dorchester^t⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: K T O'Neill| T: G Harris| OR: 48

25/1

Sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (6.1f, good, 50/1) 9 days ago. Looks up against it judged on recent evidence.

Form: 9-00896

My Boy Harry¹

Weight: 9-10| Age: 3

T: J & S Best J: Frederick Larson

Forecasts

Fishermans Cottage (6/4), A Lady Forever (9/4), My Boy Harry (9/4), Midnight Call (4/1), Glamorous Jewel (11/1), Marcus (16/1), Lady Dorchester (25/1), Fregola (33/1), Bluesy Moon (33/1), Captain Bentley (80/1)

FISHERMANS COTTAGE, A Lady Forever and Midnight Call are likely to dominate the finish, particularly if My Boy Harry takes up his engagement at Brighton on Tuesday and doesn't go to post here. There's nothing between them at the weights and marginal preference is for Fishermans Cottage, who is proving consistent this season and found just one too good in a C&D handicap last week.
