Star Marian^b¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Oisin Murphy| T: D Loughnane| OR: 54| D

9/1

Showed much improved form after 8 months off when making all in a Wolverhampton maiden in March. Beaten only one rival in 4 subsequent handicap starts since but she's becoming well treated. Worth a market check with Murphy booked.

Form: 5-15805

Pure Passion⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: S C Williams| OR: 54| D

1/2

Won a classified stakes at Yarmouth over 5f earlier in the month and shaped better than the bare result under a penalty when second of 8 in similar event at this course (6f) 4 days ago, staying on late having been caught wide throughout. Obvious chance in this mood on handicap bow.

Dusk Damsel^b1²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Millie Wonnacott⁽⁵⁾| T: J S Moore| OR: 54

14/1

Ran a fine race when second on handicap debut at this track (6f) in April. Yet to repeat that on all 3 starts since, tailed off at Wolverhampton (7f) last month. Drops to 5f for the first time and first-time blinkers are applied.

Mariselle³⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Callum Shepherd| T: Adam Kirby| OR: 46

12/1

No Nay Never filly who hasn't shown a great deal in her 3 runs so far. Needs this switch to a handicap to prove transformative.

Form: 479

Mimime^p1¹³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Saffie Osborne| T: M Appleby| OR: 46

22/1

Has shown little in 4 starts so far, not looking entirely comfortable with the undulations when last of 7 on handicap debut at Catterick (5f, firm) recently. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces.

Saeculamation¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: K Shoemark| T: G G Margarson| OR: 45

5/1

Off the mark at Chelmsford last December but 10 runs without a win this year, third of 7 at Nottingham (6f, good) most recently. Back down at 5f and could have a say in proceedings with Shoemark up for the first time.

Forecasts

Pure Passion (1/2), Saeculamation (5/1), Star Marian (9/1), Mariselle (12/1), Dusk Damsel (14/1), Mimime (22/1)

This looks a good opportunity for PURE PASSION to double her tally having been caught wide throughout when finishing runner-up at this track 4 days ago. Saeculamation was placed at Nottingham last month and he could be the one to provide most resistance, with Star Marian also worth a second look partnered by Oisin Murphy for the first time.
