4/1

Winner at Southwell in February but seemed undone by rise in weights when fifth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (7f). Others appeal as likelier winners returning from 164 days off.

Form: 204-415

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: N Callan| T: Darryll Holland| OR: 72| D

5/1

1 win from 3 runs this year. Blinkered for 1st time, good third of 6 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good, 9/2) 55 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Should go well again.

Form: 253-143

5/6

Promising type. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (7f, good to firm, 6/1) 8 days ago, well on top finish. Bred to be useful and should progress even further.

Form: 6861

9/2

Winner at Yarmouth in June. 7/2, 3 lengths sixth of 8 to Golden Thorn in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Another small-field scenario not certain to suit this time.

Form: 757-166

Forecasts

Wonderbolt (5/6), Golden Thorn (9/4), Montrachet Girl (4/1), Sahana (9/2), Castro Aurum (5/1)

WONDERBOLT looks a filly who'll continue to improve for a while yet and is fancied to make it back-to-back victories at this track. Golden Thorn benefited from a well-judged ride when scoring at Windsor last month but is another to consider, with Castro Aurum taken to complete the podium.
