Ravishing Beauty^p²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-12| J: J Garritty| T: Jedd O'Keeffe| OR: 56| BF

9/4

Maiden who comes here in good heart, cheekpieces on 1st time when ½-length second of 6 to Little Ted in handicap (9/4) at Leicester (8.2f, good to firm) 22 days ago, possibly hitting the front too soon. Evidently on a workable mark and expected to be in the thick of things again.

Form: 6-45442

Little Ted^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 9-12| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 56| D

7/2

Caught the eye when fourth at Beverley (8.5f) on penultimate start and confirmed promise of that run when proving ½-length too strong for re-opposing Ravishing Beauty in 6-runner handicap at Leicester (8.2f) 3 weeks ago. Had a bit in hand then so respected from 2 lb higher mark.

Back From Dubai³¹

Age: 8| Weight: 9-9| J: Oliver Stammers| T: S R Bowring| OR: 53| D

7/2

Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in May but not in same form when fifth of 7 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 9/2) 31 days ago. No forlorn hope from this sort of mark if shrugging that off.

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: Aiden Brookes⁽³⁾| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 52

12/1

All-weather novice winner for Richard Hughes earlier in her career but yet to fire for current yard, sixth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm) 30 days ago. First-time blinkers need to have positive effect now.

Space Raider¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Jordan Nason⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 57

9/2

Remains a maiden after 10 runs but turned in best effort for present yard from career-low mark when fifth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 13 days ago, unable to sustain a big move into contention from the rear. Interesting if he can build on that back at 1m.

Form: 44-8555

Weegeebear^v¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Dylan Hogan| T: R Menzies| OR: 52| D

11/1

Ex-Irish gelding who was a dual winner in claiming company on AW/turf earlier this year. Form very and up and down more recently though, running poorly when seventh of 14 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f) 12 days ago. Yard switch needs to have had positive effect with a visor now refitted.

Black Sky¹⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-8| J: Joanna Mason| T: M & D Easterby| OR: 46

25/1

Displayed glimmers of promise as a juvenile but absent since finishing down the field in a couple of 3-y-o handicaps on AW back in January. Fallen to a basement mark ahead of return but only strong confidence behind in the betting could make him of interest.

Form: 0850-87

Forecasts

Ravishing Beauty (9/4), Back From Dubai (7/2), Little Ted (7/2), Space Raider (9/2), Weegeebear (11/1), Value Added (12/1), Black Sky (25/1)

RAVISHING BEAUTY is now 2 lb better off for her ½-length defeat behind re-opposing Little Ted at Leicester 22 days ago and, having left the impression she may well benefit from being delivered later on that occasion, Jedd O'Keeffe's charge is narrowly selected to reverse those placings here. Aforementioned Little Ted is clearly a big player now he's back in good order. Space Raider is one of the 3-y-os to keep an eye on.
