14/1

Showed ability on AW when narrowly beaten at Southwell and placed third at Wolverhampton. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Salisbury (11/2) 19 days ago, excused after 6-month absence when going off too hard. First-time tongue strap today.

Chelsea Old Church^h1,b⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: K Shoemark| T: James Owen| OR: 64

12/1

Made encouraging debut (third at Chester) but finished last of 10 in handicap at Ffos Las (12/1) when pulling hard in blinkers 64 days ago. First-time hood may help him settle better on first run for James Owen.

Form: 30-550

(3)

Lemurian^b1²⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 64

Below last winning mark and took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 5 in 8f handicap at Chepstow (4/1) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and could build on recent progress.

Princess Pw^b²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 62

22/1

Maiden who finished third in handicap at Musselburgh in April but form has tailed off, finishing 11th of 12 at Carlisle (18/1) 20 days ago. Doesn't look likely to shed maiden tag soon.

Form: 332680

(9)

Zolder¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: J F Egan| T: D P Quinn| OR: 62

9/2

Showed modest form in three maiden/novice starts before finishing third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (14/1) 12 days ago. Likely to be suited by this return to 1m and further improvement possible given his lightly-raced profile.

Form: 6-443

(7)

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Billy Loughnane| T: D M Loughnane| OR: 61

7/2

Won a handicap at Pontefract (heavy) last October but was seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (8/1) 31 days ago, slowly into stride and possibly finding the race coming too soon.

Form: 0413-67

Rosemary's Rose^t,p1²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Tom Marquand| T: Alice Haynes| OR: 56

15/2

Has shown modest ability in five career starts, finishing third in both handicap outings this summer. Third of 7 in handicap at Ripon (11/1) 28 days ago, settling better than previously and given a more positive ride. First-time cheekpieces may help with focus and further improvement not ruled out.

Form: 4-0633

Forecasts

Charming Fellow (7/2), Zolder (9/2), On A Vespa (11/2), Arf's Duchess (6/1), Lemurian (15/2), Rosemary's Rose (15/2), Yehudi (10/1), Chelsea Old Church (12/1), Pay Attention (12/1), Fernando (14/1), Thiscouldbefun (16/1), Desert Charm (16/1), Captain Cess (18/1), Princess Pw (22/1)

ON A VESPA got her nose in front for the first time when winning at Ffos Las recently despite meeting trouble and could well be capable of following up given she remains unexposed at the trip. Zolder is another who could have further improvement in him given his lightly-raced profile, while Rosemary's Rose has been third on both handicap outings and may benefit from cheekpieces.
