Nanino Niyati⁴⁰

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: Owen Burrows| OR: 88

4/1

A fair 1¼m winner for Daniel & Claire Kubler in 2025. Encouraging for new yard when fourth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (1¼m) on return and built on that to win a 7-runner handicap at Newbury (1¼m, firm) 40 days ago in game fashion. 7 lb rise looks fair.

Form: 2138-41

Sprightly Dance^h³¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-13| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 85| BF

10/1

Built on her debut promise to readily land the odds in 4-runner novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in October. Matched that form with another enthusiastic display when third of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) 31 days ago. Place claims again.

Form: 214-3

(4)

Revelance¹²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-11| J: Rhys Clutterbuck| T: R M Beckett| OR: 83| BF

14/1

Won Salisbury novice and 3-runner Epsom handicap (8.5f) last summer. All the rage in the betting but wasn't travelling from some way out when seventh of 14 in handicap at Kempton (1m, 15/8) 12 days ago, Interesting to see whether she comes on from that.

Form: 11239-7

(5)

Harlequin Breeze²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: Jane Chapple-Hyam| OR: 89| D

33/1

Went the right way with each of her 3 starts as a juvenile, Made the frame on handicap debut at Haydock on second run this season, before getting off the mark in a Leicester novice in good style. Poorly positioned at Royal Ascot last time but still likely has a bit to find from this mark.

Form: 52-0410

(9)

Blingy's Sister²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: David Probert| T: H Palmer| OR: 88

7/1

Made winning start at Chepstow (6f) and having contested Group 3s on her previous 2 outings, she ran a blinder on handicap debut to finish fourth of 30 in the Sandringham (80/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago. Of interest again from unchanged mark.

Form: 1235-04

(10)

Rosa Inglesa²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Kaiya Fraser| T: C Fellowes| OR: 86| D

7/2

Successful in 7f Chelmsford novice last year and, upped to 1m for second handicap start this season, got back on the up with a ready success at Nottingham in May. Confirmed that progress when third of 30 in handicap in the Sandringham at this C&D (good to firm) 22 days ago.

Form: 216-313

(3)

Thaluna⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Cieren Fallon| T: W J Haggas| OR: 83| BF

11/2

Landed 6f York novice in October and returned with an excellent second of 11 in a hot race on her handicap bow at Newmarket (7f). Backed that up with another creditable third of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (1m, good) 41 days ago. Winner there has since followed up and she's of strong interest again.

Form: 210-23

(2)

Star Of Dubai²⁷²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: D Egan| T: D J Coakley| OR: 71| D

25/1

Won a Bath maiden last spring for Andrew Balding and was an encouraging third at Newbury on yard/handicap debut last summer. Below form on her final 2 outings last year and is probably opposable after 9 months off.

Form: 263386-

Celestra^p²³

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: J & T Gosden| OR: 80| D

11/2

Kingman filly went close in 2 novices at 2 yrs. Met with defeat at odds-on on her first 2 outings this season but made amends in first-time cheekpieces when winning an 8-runner maiden at Yarmouth (1m, good to firm) 23 days ago. Opening mark takes no chances, though.

Form: 22-231

(7)

Hot And Cold¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 79| D

7/2

Made it third time lucky in a novice that worked out well at Newcastle (1m) in November and improved again to follow up on return/handicap debut at Salisbury (1m) last week. Looks the type to go on improving, including when stamina is tested further (will be suited by 1¼m+).

Form: 561-1

Forecasts

Rosa Inglesa (4/1), Nanino Niyati (9/2), Celestra (9/2), Hot And Cold (6/1), Thaluna (13/2), Sprightly Dance (8/1), Blingy's Sister (10/1), Revelance (10/1), Star Of Dubai (25/1), Harlequin Breeze (25/1)

HOT AND COLD may find her future lying over further but her form at 2 yrs was strong and she made a winning return on handicap debut in good style, so a 4 lb rise may not enough to stop her from following up. Nanino Niyati still isn't long with the in-form Owen Burrows yard and is also respected on the back of her Newbury win, with Royal Ascot third Rosa Inglesa also considered.
