10/3

Gained reward for a string of solid efforts when shedding maiden tag in classified race at this course (1m) last month. Fine second at Ffos Las since and likely to be in the thick of things again.

City Escape^e/s⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: Alfie Redman⁽⁵⁾| T: Mrs N S Evans| OR: 52| D

7/1

Dual scorer in 2025 who bounced back to winning ways when taking 10-runner minor event at Ffos Las (1¼m, good, 12/1) 8 days ago. Fairly treated, back in handicap company, and is one for the shortlist.

Form: 665561

Celebrating Ethel^p²²

Age: 7| Weight: 9-8| J: Myla Coppins⁽³⁾| T: A W Carroll| OR: 50| D

4/1

Wolverhampton winner earlier this year who built on promise of previous run when landing 6-runner minor event at Brighton (1¼m, good, 3/1) 22 days ago. This is more competitive but she must be respected.

5/1

Modest maiden for Richard Hughes who was well held on debut for new yard at Wolverhampton last month.

Pepper Fizz⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Hope Regan⁽⁷⁾| T: G Nicholls| OR: 50

3/1

Nine-race maiden who has been below form in 4 starts this year. Makes limited appeal.

Form: 95-6065

Elora Prince^p⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Taryn Langley| T: A Wintle| OR: 47

5/1

Long-standing maiden in Ireland and no real impact in a handful of starts for new yard this summer, well held behind City Escape at Ffos Las (1¼m, good) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Must improve.

Forecasts

Pepper Fizz (3/1), Knightmare (10/3), Celebrating Ethel (4/1), Elora Prince (5/1), Rajbello (5/1), Typeface (6/1), City Escape (7/1), Tiger Beetle (8/1)

Preference is for CITY ESCAPE, who figures off a handy mark and came from last to first when scoring at Ffos Las last week. Knightmare and Celebrating Ethel rate the principal dangers.
