(9)

Storm Esme^p1⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: D Fentiman| T: T D Easterby| OR: 63

11/1

Won 2 of 3 starts as a juvenile but has gone the wrong way in handicaps this year, faring no better upped to 1m when well held at Nottingham 6 weeks ago. Cheekpieces now reached for.

Form: 1-70858

(4)

Leelawadee²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Mark Winn| T: M Dods| OR: 63

15/8

Showed improved form making handicap debut when second of 4 at Thirsk (1m) last month, going close to reeling in one who had the run of the race. Could be ready to open her account with better still to come.

Form: 7542

(1)

Only Dream Big^b¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson| T: T D Easterby| OR: 62| D

7/2

Improved for switch to more positive tactics with back-to-back wins at Redcar (7f) and Musselburgh (1m) in June. Has found things tougher at a higher level since, but she's interesting now back down in grade.

Form: 811556

(5)

Viviana²⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: O J Orr| T: C Johnston| OR: 62

11/2

Showed ability when third of 6 in a Redcar novice (6f) on debut but hasn't kicked on since, well beaten when fourth of 10 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f) last month. Remains early days but needs to find more.

Form: 33654

(7)

Douwantitrightnow⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-8| J: T Eaves| T: K A Ryan| OR: 62

40/1

Shaped well when making the frame at Newcastle on final outing last season but down the field in a trio of handicaps this year, failing to beat a rival in 10-runner contest over C&D in June.

Form: 554-470

(8)

Sparkling Pink^p¹⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: J Garritty| T: Adrian Nicholls| OR: 58

9/2

Back to best when third at Doncaster (7f) in April and has made the frame twice over 1m since despite seeming stretched by the trip. Only seventh of 11 back at Doncaster (7f) 10 days ago, but she's capable of getting involved from her current mark.

Form: 030437

(2)

Oasis Cover¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Aiden Brookes| T: Micky Hammond| OR: 58

33/1

Good second in handicap at Redcar (6f) in June on final outing for Ed Bethell but hasn't offered much in 2 start for current yard, seventh of 8 at Thirsk 18 days ago. Up in trip.

Form: 6-30287

(3)

Truly Special⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-13| J: Jason Hart| T: J S Wainwright| OR: 53| C

6/1

Making third start for current yard, took a step forward when getting off the mark in 6f handicap at this course in June, having the run of the race but still showing a good attitude. Task is now to build on that having been absent since.

Form: 539-661

Non-Runners

Yoko¹²

Weight: 9-4| Age: 3

T: D Loughnane J: C Lee

Forecasts

Leelawadee (9/4), Only Dream Big (10/3), Sparkling Pink (9/2), Truly Special (11/2), Viviana (13/2), Storm Esme (12/1), Oasis Cover (25/1), Yoko (25/1), Douwantitrightnow (50/1)

LEELAWADEE shaped best when runner-up on handicap debut at Thirsk last month and she can build on that effort to go one better this time around. Only Dream Big could be the main danger as she drops back down in grade, with Sparkling Pink another to consider from her reduced mark.
