7/2

Improved to win 10-runner handicap at Windsor (7/1) over 6f 19 days ago, making headway 2f out and asserting in final stages. Top rated here and should be firmly in the mix if repeating that improved effort.

20/1

11/8

Has shown marked improvement since switching to handicaps, second of 8 at Brighton (13/8) 8 days ago, wearing first-time cheekpieces but not quite doing enough to justify favouritism. Well-bred sort who can make further progress at this level.

Form: 00822

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Alec Voikhansky⁽³⁾| T: R A Teal| OR: 53

10/1

Winless after 10 starts and seventh of 12 in maiden claimer at Roscommon (25/1) 87 days ago, took keen hold and lost place over 1f out. Blinkers and tongue strap removed today. First run for new trainer.

Off The Bench^p²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: William Cox| T: J S Moore| OR: 45

Forecasts

Summertime Blues (11/8), Pure Artistry (7/2), Lima Sierra (5/1), Rovinia (11/2), Legendsoftheland (10/1), Kaleidoscope Eyes (20/1), Tortoiseshell (22/1), Off The Bench (66/1), Belle Yeux (200/1)

PURE ARTISTRY took a significant step forward when asserting to win at Windsor 19 days ago and should be firmly in the mix if reproducing that improved effort. Summertime Blues has shown better form since switching to handicaps and this well-bred sort can make further progress, while Lima Sierra was awarded a race at Nottingham recently and is also in the mix after a small rise.
