Sant Alessio²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: Taylor Fisher⁽³⁾| T: J Tickle| OR: 62

11/2

Maiden who found run of good form coming to a halt when last of 13 in handicap at Windsor (10/1) 26 days ago, softer conditions a plausible excuse. Return to this much quicker surface can likely see him in a better light returned to 1m.

Form: 542450

Francisco^t,v1²⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁷⁾| T: P R Chamings| OR: 61| BF

17/2

Won at Wolverhampton (7f) in April and has shown promise with a second and third at Lingfield over 7f. Finished 11th of 13 in handicap at Windsor (8f, Soft) at 5/1 26 days ago, soft ground possibly catching him out. Visor goes on now and he's a likely candidate to bounce back.

Form: 716320

Judge Frank^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: William Carson| T: J L Flint| OR: 57| D

8/1

Back-to-back winner in handicaps at up to 1m last summer but largely struggled this time around, eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f) 9 days ago. Fallen 2 lb below last winning mark but others preferred judged on recent exploits.

Form: 10-4308

My Ambition³⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 9-8| J: George Bass| T: D J Coakley| OR: 56| CD

9/2

3-time C&D winner who posted best effort of this campaign when runner-up here in May. Not at same level in trio of starts since but a return to this venue rates a definite plus and forecast quick conditions will hold no fears.

Form: 0-42858

Timeless Spirit¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: T E Whelan| T: P Attwater| OR: 61

7/2

Yet to win in 7 starts but matched previous best when keeping on well for 2nd in 12-runner handicap at Southwell (1m) 19 days ago. Can be competitive again back on turf with a repeat.

Form: 75-5672

Fighting Queen^p1²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: P Cosgrave| T: Joe Ponting| OR: 55| CD

15/2

Won over C&D in May but form inconsistent, finishing fifth of 8 in 10f handicap at Chepstow (11/1) 22 days ago when racing freely. First-time cheekpieces fitted.

Star Of Atlantis^p³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Rob Hornby| T: A Wintle| OR: 54

13/2

Won 9f AW handicap in May and bettered recent exploits when chasing home Oasis Sunrise in 8-runner handicap over C&D (17/2) 31 days ago. Can give another good account from 1 lb higher mark.

Form: 561692

Oasis Sunrise¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J F Egan| T: G Harris| OR: 58| CD

13/2

Shed maiden tag over C&D in July and has shaped better than bare result both starts since, latterly when fifth of 9 in handicap at Ffos Las (7.3f) 11 days ago. May have another race in her from this sort of mark.

Form: 244175

Princess Mia¹³

Weight: 9-10| Age: 3

Forecasts

Princess Mia (5/2), Timeless Spirit (7/2), My Ambition (9/2), Sant Alessio (11/2), Star Of Atlantis (13/2), Oasis Sunrise (13/2), Fighting Queen (15/2), Judge Frank (8/1), Francisco (17/2)

PRINCESS MIA showed much improved form when winning at Yarmouth on her turf/handicap debut despite still showing signs of inexperience and appears capable of further progress. Francisco had excuses on account of the ground at Windsor last time and is fancied to bounce back equipped with a first-time visor. Timeless Spirit and My Ambition complete the shortlist.
