Mostar Dreams²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 10-3| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 81| BF| CD

7/2

Cemented positive start for this yard when winning over C&D in May and backed that up when fourth in a better race at Haydock next time. Below form at York latest but looks the type to bounce back quickly. Respected returning to the scene of her two previous wins.

Form: 36-2148

Sweet Thing²⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Oliver Stammers| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 75| D

66/1

Won 14-runner maiden at Navan (5.8f) on her final run for Andrew Oliver but below form on handicap/stable debut following 8 months off when last of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Should benefit from that run/experience and could be closer to form here.

Form: 21-0

Minnie Wildes⁴²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: C Fellowes| OR: 75| D

6/1

Wide margin winner in heavy ground at Ffos Las on debut and shaped well returning to testing conditions when fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, soft, 9/2) 42 days ago. Back up to 6f and could still be on a lenient mark.

Form: 113-05

Breckenbrough⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: C Lee| T: A M Balding| OR: 79| BF

5/1

Promise in Newbury/Ascot maidens but unable to lands the odds on final qualifying run when 5/6, fifth of 10 in a maiden at Chester (7f, good) 40 days ago, again pulling too hard. Return to 6f makes her of interest on handicap debut.

Form: 235

Lorna B³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 78| D

11/4

Bred to be useful and made it 2 wins in 4 starts when taking a big step forward back on turf for handicap debut, winning 9-runner handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 4/1) 34 days ago, keeping on well. Remains open to improvement.

Form: 0-161

(3)

May Blossom^b³¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: O McSweeney⁽³⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 70| D

8/1

Encouraging seventh of 20 in handicap (25/1) at York (6f, firm) in May but failed to build on that when well held at Pontefract (6f) last month, having taken a strong hold. Not dismissed if the market hints at a return to form.

Form: 04-7679

Rebecca's Girl¹⁰³

Age: 5| Weight: 9-6| J: O J Orr| T: Gary Rutherford| OR: 70| BF| C| D

18/1

Had been a model of consistency for this yard on the all-weather prior to running flat when last seen at Newcastle in March. Has been given a break and now returns to the scene of her sole turf victory. No surprise to see her bounce back.

Form: 113328

Mersea²⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: S H James| T: Grant Tuer| OR: 67| CD

22/1

C&D winner fared no better than on reappearance when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Something of a revival needed.

Form: 55-1370

(8)

Thecla²⁵⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 73| D

40/1

Had steadily improved to get off the mark at third attempt at Hamilton (6f) but found out under a penalty when fourth of 10 in novice at Southwell (5f, 15/2) in October. Could have more to offer now sent handicapping back on turf and interesting to note the market vibes following 8 months off.

Form: 5214-

(11)

Highfield Sunshine³⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Jason Hart| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 72

8/1

Sent handicapping and again ran well when 15/2, good third of 14 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Likely to be ridden positively back down in trip from stall 11 but will need things to fall right to get off the mark here.

Form: 025-223

(6)

Who Wants Me¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: A Mullen| T: I Jardine| OR: 69

25/1

Firmly back on track when second here in June over 7f sticking to task but well held in a better race over this same C&D later that month, losing her action late on. Drops back in trip and again finds herself in a better race than she need contest.

Form: 35-0027

Forecasts

Lorna B (11/4), Mostar Dreams (7/2), Breckenbrough (5/1), Minnie Wildes (6/1), May Blossom (8/1), Highfield Sunshine (8/1), Rebecca's Girl (18/1), Mersea (22/1), Who Wants Me (25/1), Thecla (40/1), Sweet Thing (66/1)

This could be run to suit MOSTAR DREAMS who's recorded her two previous victories at this track and has already ran well in a higher grade this season. She can bounce back from a rare below-part effort and is narrowly preferred to the improving Lorna B who found plenty for pressure when winning on handicap debut last month. Minnie Wildes caught the eye over 5f here in May and looks fairly treated for her return to 6f.
