11/2

Back to winning ways at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in June. Not so good over 6f on next 2 starts but returned to form back at 5f when runner-up at Nottingham (good to firm) 4 weeks ago.

3/1

Opened turf account at Yarmouth in May and back in good form of late, including third of 6 at Chester (5f, good) 17 days ago, left poorly placed after his jockey overdid the waiting tactics.

Nogo's Dream^p¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 9-6| J: R L Moore| T: R Hughes| OR: 73| D

9/2

Quirky sort but had been running well until weakening to finish last of 6 at Brighton last time. Ryan Moore has won on him before but others are still more persuasive.

Independent Expert¹⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 9-6| J: Finley Marsh| T: J & S Best| OR: 73

20/1

Scored over 7f at Naas for Denis Hogan in March but has yet to scale same heights for new yard. Hard to fancy.

Form: 568946

Over Spiced^p¹¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-0| J: Oisin Murphy| T: G Harris| OR: 67| D

3/1

Scored at Bath in May and has placed on 5 of her last 6 outings, finishing second (Kiss And Run third) of 9 over C&D on latest. Able to race off 2 lb lower here so obvious shout with Oisin Murphy taking the reins.

Form: 332352

Kiss And Run¹¹

Age: 5| Weight: 8-13| J: K T O'Neill| T: R Cook & J Bridger| OR: 66| CD

3/1

Recent C&D third respectable but Over Spiced was ahead in second and her losing run dates back to a C&D success in August 2024.

Forecasts

Kiss And Run (3/1), Over Spiced (3/1), U S S Charleston (3/1), Spring Bloom (4/1), Nogo's Dream (9/2), Jax Edge (11/2), Independent Expert (20/1)

OVER SPICED is able to race off 2 lb lower than when best of the rest behind a progressive 3-y-o over C&D at the recent Celebration Mile meeting and should take a bit of stopping if in similar form. Spring Bloom has shown his recent good form over 6f at Newmarket but a near miss over C&D in the spring shows he's effective over shorter and he's second choice ahead of Jax Edge.
