Zapphire^p²⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-0| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 85

12/1

Reliable type in this sort of company. Back to her best when winning an 8-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, firm, 9/1) 24 days ago, all out to hold on. Has only gone up 2 lb for that and should remain competitive.

Form: 314201

Laura Bay⁴⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: K Shoemark| T: D Menuisier| OR: 82

28/1

Dual winner last year and finished her season with a career-best second in testing conditions at Nottingham (10f). Faced a stiff task in listed company on her return and didn't fire again in a field of unexposed 3-y-os at Windsor last time. Remains to be seen whether this is enough of a test.

Form: 6122-06

Orange Sky⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: Billy Loughnane| T: G Boughey| OR: 87

12/1

Expensive purchase (yard had success with this family). Much improved when winning on handicap debut at Newmarket (July) second time up this season but proved a disappointment in a better race at Ascot (1m) 57 days ago. Has been given a short break and too soon to write off yet.

Form: 21-315

Royalty Bay²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: D Swift| T: S Spencer| OR: 87| C

16/1

Fairly useful dual juvenile winner for the John & Sean Quinn stable but hasn't looked particularly well-treated in handicaps, running respectably and appreciating the step up to 1m when fourth on stable debut at Newmarket (July) last month. May need further respite from the handicapper.

Form: 57-8534

Rhapsody¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jason Hart| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83

9/2

Beat a pair of subsequent winners on debut at Yarmouth last year. Not seen to best effect in a pair of Fillies listed events at Goodwood this season but shaped better back in handicap company when fifth at Kempton (8f) last month. Remains with potential and will appreciate this stiffer test.

Form: 1-6985

Seren Star¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| D

6/1

Plenty of substance to her novice/maiden form, off the mark at the third attempt in a 1m Chepstow maiden that has thrown up some improvers. Progressed again to win on handicap debut at Hamilton (9.2f) despite not getting the run of the race. Improving, well-bred filly may well land the hat-trick.

Form: 3411

Revelance³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 83| D

5/2

Quality type on paper and better for her debut when runner-up behind a useful sort on final 2-y-o start. Off the mark in a 9-runner novice at Salisbury on return and found improvement to comfortably justify support on handicap debut at Epsom in July. Remains unexposed and should go well again.

Form: 72-11

(8)

Epidavros⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Shay Farmer⁽⁷⁾| T: K Scott| OR: 74| D

6/1

Largely consistent this season despite not getting her head in front. Went close in a strongly run 0-85 at Ayr last month and shaped as though still in good form when fifth in a 10-runner handicap at Southwell (1m) 5 days ago. Should give her running again back on turf.

Form: 325425

Folkene¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Joanna Mason| T: Roger Fell| OR: 79

20/1

Fair winner in France for Gael Lemer and having joined new connections for €23,000, found a chunk of improvement to make a winning stable debut in a 9-runner handicap on the Newmarket July course (7f) 15 days ago. Won with something in hand that day and her revised mark may not be beyond her.

Form: 364131

Wonderbolt²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 77

11/2

Excellent pedigree and confirmed promise shown in AW maidens when off the mark on handicap/turf debut on the Newmarket July course (7f) last month. Followed up over 1m at the same track 8 days on, despite racing freely from the front. Useful prospect merits respect in her bid for the hat-trick.

Forecasts

Revelance (5/2), Rhapsody (9/2), Wonderbolt (11/2), Seren Star (6/1), Epidavros (6/1), Zapphire (12/1), Orange Sky (12/1), Royalty Bay (16/1), Stateira (16/1), Folkene (20/1), Laura Bay (28/1)

SEREN STAR had some solid form in novice/maiden company prior to landing a double on handicap debut at Hamilton last month, despite not getting the run of the race, and this well-bred filly may improve again to land the hat-trick. Of the other progressive 3-y-os in the field, Revelance and Wonderbolt are feared most, both arriving in search of their own hat-trick, while Folkene remains an interesting contender on the back of her comfortable success on stable debut.
