Encore³⁴³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-5| J: Tom Marquand| T: W J Haggas

1/1

Good pedigree and showed some promise when fifth of 9 on debut for Ed Walker last autumn. Off for 11 months but likely improver having joined another good stable.

Cercis⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Benoit D L Sayette| T: Mrs I G-Leveque| OR: 58

6/1

Has reached the frame in maidens at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) and Doncaster (7f, firm) in recent weeks but a bit more will be needed if she's to get off the mark here.

Form: 5-42

Just Dreaming¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Oliver Carmichael⁽⁷⁾| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 57

20/1

Much improved when second of 7 in novice at Salisbury (6f, good) 12 days ago. Needs to prove she can back that up now.

Form: 5-752

(2)

Queen Of Hope

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: H Crouch| T: Jack Jones

14/1

Pinatubo filly out of a useful 7f/1m winner but she was picked up for only 3,000 gns earlier in the year. The betting should help guide to expectations.

Sunday Girl³⁶¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: K Shoemark| T: E Walker

15/8

Out of a useful winning sister to July Cup winner Starman. Promise when third of 11 on 6f Newbury debut a year ago. It's taken a while to get her back to the track but she may be capable of making up for lost time.

Forecasts

Encore (1/1), Sunday Girl (15/8), Cercis (6/1), Queen Of Hope (14/1), Just Dreaming (20/1)

SUNDAY GIRL and Encore both have lengthy absences to overcome but still look the pair to focus on, with preference for the former before any betting clues are known.
