2/1

Fifth of 9 in 9.8f handicap at Ripon (4/1) 4 days ago, never threatening after dwelling at the start. Looks ready for another try over 12f.

16/1

Modest form includes third in maiden in 2023, then ninth of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (14/1) 55 days ago, looking rusty on stable debut. Needs to show much more upped in trip.

Form: 39/0-9

Bosphorus Rose¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 77| D

6/5

Progressive filly who has improved for step up in distance, winning a novice at Bath over 10f in May. 12f handicap at Epsom Downs (4/1) 13 days ago against 7 rivals, staying on well despite hanging left in the closing stages. Remains of serious interest.

Form: 333-131

Pappa Louis^p²¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 72

8/1

Showed promise when second of 8 in 10f handicap at Chester 53 days ago but fifth of 6 in 12f handicap at Epsom (14/1) 21 days ago, taking strong hold and making no impression. Cheekpieces back on to hopefully correct awkward head carriage.

Form: 8-94265

Me And Bobby Mcgee^b¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: J Fanning| T: C Johnston| OR: 71

13/2

Much improved when making a winning handicap debut at Hamilton Park (25/1) 11 days ago, dictating from the front and sharpened up by first-time blinkers. Should be very competitive again under similar conditions.

Form: 4391

Forecasts

Bosphorus Rose (6/5), Afloat (2/1), Me And Bobby Mcgee (13/2), Pappa Louis (8/1), Solar Saving (16/1)

BOSPHORUS ROSE has improved as her stamina has been drawn out, winning well at Epsom recently and further success beckons. Me And Bobby McGee dictated successfully at Hamilton with first-time blinkers and he should be very competitive again.
