Betfred Everswift 30 July Handicap

Piazza¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: H Crouch| T: Ollie Sangster| OR: 65

9/2

Steadily progressive in turf maidens last summer. Beaten just under 4 lengths second time up in a handicap at Kempton (7f) on return. Lightly-raced 3-y-o may well improve back on turf with a run under her belt.

Form: 4334-5

(6)

Eyes Front^b³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Alistair Rawlinson| T: E Smyth-Osbourne| OR: 64

7/1

Often slow starting type who was pipped in Haydock maiden as a juvenile. Closest he's come to matching that form when fifth of 15 in first-time blinkers at Doncaster. Still didn't look entirely straightforward (hung right) last time, though yard since off the cold list.

Form: 6-65555

(3)

Twilight Glow^v¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Rob Hornby| T: J G Portman| OR: 63

11/1

Split a now-fairly useful pair when runner-up in Newbury maiden last autumn. Hasn't built on reappearance fourth at Kempton this season, but he's slipped to an attractive mark as a result.

Form: 9-40586

Sun Of Dolly⁵⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: N Callan| T: J Gallagher| OR: 61

11/2

Ran best race when 1½-length fourth on handicap bow at Windsor (6f, good). Given a break since running below that form at Haydock (7f) in late-May, and he's well worth another go at this trip back under less testing conditions.

Form: 76-648

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S M Levey| T: S Dow| OR: 61

22/1

Exposed maiden. Sold cheaply out of the Richard Hannon yard prior to finishing well-held fourth of 6 at Brighton (7f) on return. He's at least entitled to come on for that run.

Form: 452-594

(5)

Madman³⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Mason Paetel⁽⁵⁾| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 59

10/1

Winner at Kempton for Tom Ward in January (6f). Back in similar form when runner-up on third start for current yard in Salisbury handicap (6f, heavy) last time. Looks ready for another try at 7f and is weighted to go well under good-value apprentice.

Form: 525692

(4)

Ice Cube^h⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Oisin Murphy| T: R Spencer| OR: 59

11/8

Lightly-raced maiden who again shaped better than the bare result when beaten less than 2 lengths in better race at Newmarket (7f) last time. Seems tactically versatile and can capitalise on drop in grade under Oisin Murphy.

Form: 7-35656

(8)

Karisma's Angel¹⁵³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker| OR: 57

10/1

Related to useful types. Ran better than on handicap bow without ever threatening wide-margin winner at Wolverhampton in February. Returns from 5 months off with yard among winners, though she'll need to improve to get off the mark on turf debut.

Form: 060-62

Forecasts

Ice Cube (7/2), Madman (4/1), Piazza (5/1), Twilight Glow (11/2), Eyes Front (6/1), Sun Of Dolly (8/1), Credit Forgedd It (10/1), Karisma's Angel (10/1), Mayfair Market (16/1)

ICE CUBE is likely in much better heart than this season's form figures would suggest. He's taken to get off the mark down in class with Oisin Murphy aboard for the first time. Unexposed Piazza could do better eased in grade, while Twilight Glow and Madman both have solid claims at the weights.
