Aukus^b²⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R M Beckett| OR: 70

22/1

Possibly not straightforward and opening mark looks harsh given what she has achieved so far.

Form: 553

Celestarak^h1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Jack Doughty| T: D Menuisier| OR: 68

10/1

Behind all 4 starts but he looked very rusty at Salisbury on handicap debut/return and probably has a bigger performance in him up in trip. Hood applied.

Form: 580-9

(5)

Semper Femina⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Joe Leavy| T: R Hannon| OR: 68

8/1

Lucky Vega filly who took a healthy stride forward on handicap debut when runner-up here (1¼m, heavy) last week despite not travelling so well as some on testing ground. Better conditions here likely to suit.

Form: 2972

(2)

Blackisthenewblack^p³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Darragh Keenan| T: A M Balding| OR: 67| D

28/1

Improved with cheekpieces added when making her second handicap start a winning one at Kempton (1½m), albeit very much having the run of that race from the front. However, backed out of things tamely on turf debut at Thirsk next time.

Form: 636-610

Flash Kozo³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 67

13/2

Consistent rather than progressive maiden and raced freely under a change of tactics at Newbury last month. More needed.

Form: 40-430

(1)

Boilermaker³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Lewis Edmunds| T: Harry Charlton| OR: 66

5/4

Didn't show much in trio of novice events but has improved switched to handicaps/upped in trip this season, better for return when close second at Thirsk 5 weeks ago. Looks capable of getting off the mark soon with more still to offer over this distance.

Form: 777-42

(8)

La Peregrina³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: George Downing| T: E Walker| OR: 64

15/2

Similar form all 3 starts this year, looking one paced when well held on handicap bow at Newbury 5 weeks ago.

Form: 6-550

(3)

Darn Hot Dame²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Daniel Muscutt| T: T Ward| OR: 61

4/1

Progressive since switched to handicaps and pulled clear of the third when narrow winner at Windsor 4 weeks ago. Looks set to go well again.

Form: 7-45351

Celestarak - Original Position 2nd. Amended Position 1st.

La Peregrina - Original Position 1st. Amended Position 2nd.

Forecasts

Boilermaker (5/4), Darn Hot Dame (4/1), Flash Kozo (13/2), La Peregrina (15/2), Semper Femina (8/1), Celestarak (10/1), Aukus (22/1), Blackisthenewblack (28/1)

DARN HOT DAME is going the right way and she looks capable of defying a 5 lb rise for her Windsor success. Boilermaker and Semper Femina are also improving so are feared most.
