Art Patron²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rob Hornby| T: A M Balding| OR: 72

7/1

Stepped up on reappearance and best effort yet when runner-up over 1m at Windsor. Best not judged on most recent start over same C&D, when snatched up badly entering final furlong. In good hands and she may get back on track here.

Form: 653-928

Flightofthephoenix⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T E Whelan| T: C Hills| OR: 71

10/1

Promising debut when second of 11 in a well run novice at Kempton (7f) in October but was below form on turf debut when sixth of 9 in novice at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 40 days ago. Still early days but has improvement to find on handicap debut.

Form: 2-66

(6)

Bear Island²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S D Bowen| T: D Menuisier| OR: 70| D

3/1

Some promise in novice company and showed improved form to get off the mark in decisive fashion when winning 14-runner handicap at Kempton (8f, 4/1) 27 days ago. Could well follow up if able to replicate that form back on turf.

Form: 444-991

Nakaaha^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Egan| T: G Harris| OR: 70| D

4/1

Left stable debut well behind, 33/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Runner-up has franked the form and she should go well again.

Form: 52-3701

Neardown¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J A Osborne| OR: 70| D

8/1

Winner on debut at Chester last season but displayed a wayward side when seventh of 8 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good) 11 days ago, ran wide home turn and hung badly left. Something to prove now.

Form: 16-57

(7)

Condotti^p³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Hollie Doyle| T: H Palmer| OR: 70

2/1

Steadily improved in maidens and built on seasonal reappearance with cheekpieces on for first time when third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 36 days ago. Headgear retained and should remain competitive.

Form: 552-73

(2)

Oceans Charm¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: C Horgan⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 65

40/1

Maiden hasn't progressed for the switch to handicaps, fifth of 6 at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 18 days ago. Needs further respite from the handicapper.

Form: 5-2675

Forecasts

Condotti (2/1), Bear Island (3/1), Nakaaha (4/1), Art Patron (7/1), Neardown (8/1), Flightofthephoenix (10/1), Oceans Charm (40/1)

BEAR ISLAND got off the mark in decisive fashion on the all-weather last month and can follow up if in the same form returning to turf. The form of Nakaaha's Newbury win has been boosted and she's feared most, with Condotti best of the rest having stepped forward from his reappearance when third over C&D last time.
