6/1

Won twice on turf last summer and largely held form afterwards. Shaped as if better for the run at Kempton (11f) on her recent return and entitled to take a step forward here.

Form: 18326-8

Food For Thought¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: H Crouch| T: R M Beckett| OR: 82| D

4/1

Dubawi filly who left debut form behind when second at Yarmouth (1m) last October. Forced pace/took strong hold when disappointing at Chepstow (7f) on return but got back on track when making the most of a good opportunity in 3-runner affair at Nottingham (1¼m). More required but that's possible.

Form: 62-41

Mayaada¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: S Donohoe| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 77| CD

6/1

Found further improvement to resume winning ways over C&D in May. Seemed to find the race coming too soon at Chester and back on track the last twice, finishing second in 5-runner handicap at Lingfield (9f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Should remain competitive.

9/4

Improving Zarak filly who comfortably resumed winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, good) 23 days ago. Can continue to go the right way.

Form: 41-241

Silver Lake^t1⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Darragh Keenan| T: W J Haggas| OR: 75| BF

5/2

Well-bred filly in excellent hands who stepped up on her debut when sixth of 8 in 1m novice at Newmarket in April. despite being left poorly placed the way the race developed. Shade disappointing when failing to meet expectations at Wolverhampton since but it remains early days. Tongue tie on.

Form: 7-63

Forecasts

Oh Yes You Do (9/4), Silver Lake (5/2), Food For Thought (4/1), Gloryous (6/1), Mayaada (6/1), Pomme Pomme (14/1)

OH YES YOU DO is improving all the time and looks capable of defying a 5 lb rise in the weights for her Lingfield success. Food For Thought needs more now handicapping but that's certainly possible given she's a well-bred filly in excellent hands.
