Letiza⁸⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-1| J: Harrison Shaw| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 74

22/1

Down Royal winner in June. Creditable eighth of 16 in handicap at Naas (10.4f, good to soft, 4/1) 87 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Henry De Bromhead and this is a weaker race.

Form: 324-818

Lightning Touch^p1⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 10-0| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 73| BF

15/8

Yet to win a race but another solid effort when third of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 49 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and this is a drop back on class. Major claims.

Form: 4/52423

Aiming High^h⁵²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-0| J: Georgia Dobie| T: D M Simcock| OR: 73| CD

10/1

Ultra-consistent mare who gained deserved second win of the campaign in 6-runner handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 52 days ago. 2 lb rise won't prevent a very bold follow-up bid.

Form: 464431

Gold Penny⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-10| J: R Havlin| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 74

3/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 6/1, last of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good) 9 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and needs to up her game but that wouldn't be a surprise given her pedigree and connections.

Form: 3326

Jindri¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Harry Davies| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 73

4/1

Improved form when fourth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm, 50/1) 18 days ago, despite missing break. Makes tapeta debut and looks worth a go at this trip.

Form: 0-354

Romantic Spirit³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S M Levey| T: D Menuisier| OR: 68

9/2

Third Wolverhampton win of 2025 in June. Good second of 9 in handicap back there last month and AW profile is a positive one.

Form: 717432

Forecasts

Lightning Touch (15/8), Gold Penny (3/1), Jindri (4/1), Romantic Spirit (9/2), Aiming High (10/1), Letiza (22/1)

This represents a slight drop back in class for LIGHTNING TOUCH and the fitting of cheekpieces could be just what she needs to open her account. Aiming High's consistency is a major asset at this sort of level and she's second choice, ahead of Gold Penny.
