Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Edward Greatrex| T: R M Beckett| OR: 81| BF| D

10/11

Lightly-raced/well-bred 3-y-o filly. Chased home subsequent winners first 2 starts before getting off the mark in 4-runner novice at Doncaster (1¼m) last month. Did well to get within 1¼ lengths when fourth on handicap bow at Chester since. Strong claims on a more suitable track.

Supplicate¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: J Mitchell| T: R Varian| OR: 81| D

11/8

Progressive filly. Won all 3 starts since an eye-catching debut last October, ridden positively/always holding when scoring by ¾-length on handicap bow at Nottingham 2 weeks ago. Encouraging to see her turned out relatively quickly given previous gaps in her CV. Makes plenty of appeal.

Form: 51-11

Sudbury Hill^p¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Harry Derham| OR: 80| CD

8/1

Improved model for Harry Derham this year. Made the most of a good opportunity over hurdles at Newton Abbot in June. Cheekpieces on first time when narrowly resuming winning ways in 4-runner C&D handicap latest. Vulnerable off 3 lb higher in a better race.

Form: 5-23201

On The Inlet²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ebrahim Nader| T: Dr R Newland| OR: 79

20/1

160,000 gns son of New Bay. Improved for switch to handicaps when making all in pair of all-weather handicaps over the spring. Again below that form on return from 7 weeks off when 5½ lengths third of 4 at Wolverhampton (fourth won since). Longer trip/return to turf both question marks.

Seven Sisters (10/11), Supplicate (11/8), Storm Point (7/1), Sudbury Hill (8/1), Akho Mezzna (10/1), On The Inlet (20/1)

It's hard to believe we've seen the best of SEVEN SISTERS given her pedigree/connections. She's fancied to resume winning ways on return to a more conventional track, while Supplicate arrives on a roll and stands out as the main danger.
