9/1

Fairly useful mare who won twice at Southwell earlier this year. Struggled in the face of stiff tasks at York and Chelmsford in recent weeks but got back on track to a large extent returned to a more realistic level when fourth of 13 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago.

Mereside Diva¹⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 9-11| J: Connor Beasley| T: T D Barron| OR: 79| BF| CD

4/1

Not won since last summer but shaped as if quickly back in form when eleventh of 22 in handicap at York (7f, good) just over a fortnight ago, keeping on when hampered final 100 yds. Now just 2 lb above last winning mark but yard form is a concern.

Form: 4-48380

Mostar Dreams²⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: P Mulrennan| T: J S Goldie| OR: 78| D

5/1

Won a 5.8f handicap at Carlisle in May (both career wins have come there) but turned in a rare poor effort at Ayr (6f, good to soft) just under 3 weeks ago. Back up in trip and needs to leave that effort behind.

Form: 214840

Definitive^h⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: David Probert| T: C G Cox| OR: 83| C

9/1

Highly tried after making winning debut at this track last summer, tailed off in Group 2 Rockfel on final outing at 2 yrs. Left reappearance effort behind when fourth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 8 days ago and the headgear goes back on. Could well kick on back here.

Form: 155-94

Lorna B³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 81

5/2

Bred to be useful and made it 3 wins in 5 starts when taking 11-runner handicap at Carlisle (5.8f, good) 31 days ago, digging deep under pressure having led 4 out. Up 3 lb for that and may well not have finished improving yet, so she's a must for the shortlist.

Form: 0-1611

Mollie Foster²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR: 77| C

5/1

Course novice winner at 2 yrs and ended that campaign by finishing second in a valuable sales race at the Curragh. In-and-out of form in handicaps this year, having no problem with the 1f longer trip when third of 9 at Newbury (7f, good) just over 3 weeks ago. Step forward needed.

Form: 22-0483

Amayretto¹⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: D Allan| T: T D Easterby| OR: 65| D

9/1

Has taken her form up a notch this season, winning at Doncaster and Redcar on first 2 starts back. Has remained in form on the whole, fourth of 11 at former course (7f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Likely to find this level a bit beyond her, however.

Form: 2-11024

Forecasts

Lorna B (5/2), Bint Mohaather (7/2), Mereside Diva (4/1), Mostar Dreams (5/1), Mollie Foster (5/1), Amayretto (9/1), Powdering (9/1), Definitive (9/1), Angel Of Rain (14/1), Alessia Fernanda (16/1), Autumn Rose (33/1)

Cases can be made for a few of these, but LORNA B gets the nod to complete a hat-trick and make it 4 wins from 6 starts with further progress in the pipeline. Her main threat may emerge from Bint Mohaather, who proved something of a let-down at Doncaster bearing in mind the promise she'd shown when making a winning return, but handicaps and a return to 7f promises to suit. Definitive can edge out Powdering for minor honours.
