7/4

Fair maiden who was tackling turf and 1¼m for only a second time when runner-up at Ripon (good to firm) 27 days ago. Should go well off the same mark.

Form: 23-3582

Fille Imbassee^h¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Kiely-Marshall⁽⁵⁾| T: Miss J A Camacho| OR: 66| CD

10/3

Ended her time with Marco Botti with breakthrough win at Lingfield in January and struck at the fifth time of asking for Julie Camacho in a small-field race over C&D (good to firm) 19 days ago. Did that comfortably but it was a weak affair.

Form: 134041

Hot Silk¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Saffie Osborne| T: J R Fanshawe| OR: 66

11/8

Too Darn Hot filly who failed to improve at the first time of asking in handicaps when fourth of 5 over 11.4f at Windsor (good to firm) 17 days ago but it's still early days with her.

Form: 6-444

Bergamo Gold⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Jason Hart| T: C Johnston| OR: 62| D

10/1

Won twice on all-weather in March but well held last 2 starts, including when last of 8 on turf debut at Redcar in May. An 8-week break needs to have had a reviving effect.

Forecasts

Hot Silk (11/8), Melody De Vega (7/4), Fille Imbassee (10/3), Imola (6/1), Bergamo Gold (10/1)

MELODY DE VEGA looked well suited to 1¼m at Ripon last time and is given a chance to build on that promising run. Although Hot Silk failed to take a step forward on her handicap debut she retains potential and might be the one for the forecast spot.
