9/2

Took a marked step forward under a positive ride when runner-up back over 7f at Leicester in May but not in same form when sixth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f, 4/5) a week later. Worth another chance to confirm that improvement after more of a break.

Forever Twenty^p1²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Jason Hart| T: I Furtado| OR: 53

11/4

Ran her best race so far when third of 9 in handicap at Doncaster in May, shaping well from off the pace and looked as if still in decent heart granted a less-than-ideal passage at Redcar next time. Again missed the break back at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, though, so cheekpieces may now sharpen her up.

Battenburg Belle¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Cieren Fallon| T: R Menzies| OR: 52

3/1

Filled the runner-up sport for the third consecutive start when chasing home Truly Special at Carlisle last month and gained reward for those good efforts when winning a 7-runner handicap at Catterick (6f, firm) 12 days ago. Expected to be bang there now back up in trip.

Walk On Walk On^p¹⁵

10/1

Still a maiden and has largely been more miss than hit this season, looking outpaced over 1m at Ayr last time. Difficult to recommend now dropping in trip.

Hood Wink^b¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Sean Kirrane| T: T D Easterby| OR: 48

5/2

Found improvement when dead-heating at Wetherby (1m) in April and having recorded his best effort yet when third of 9 in a Ripon handicap in May. Filled the same position there 16 days ago, though it was a shade disconcerting how quickly he cut out once upsides, so has a bit to prove after that.

16/1

68,000 gns Pinatubo filly from good family but has finished well held on all 3 starts to date. Market may prove best guide as to expectations now handicapping.

Forecasts

Hood Wink (5/2), Forever Twenty (11/4), Truly Special (11/4), Battenburg Belle (3/1), Zoulette (9/2), Walk On Walk On (10/1), Maid On The Shelf (16/1)

BATTENBURG BELLE was behind Truly Special when the pair met at Carlisle but probably wasn't seen to quite as good effect as that rival there and she can turn the tables having since won at Catterick. Truly Special herself is also considered, whilst Zoulette remains of interest on the strength of her Leicester second in May.
