Royal County Glory⁶^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 10-1| J: Oisin Murphy| T: Jack Jones| OR: 65| BF| D

4/7

On the up for new yard, making it 3 wins (all 7f, all-weather) when getting on top towards the finish at Kempton under Oisin Murphy 6 days ago. A 6-lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Hamaleel^b⁴⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Billy Loughnane| T: A Watson| OR: 65

11/2

Off the mark at Kempton (1m) in January but has been summed up by her mark since. Billy Loughnane takes over the reins but others arrive with more compelling claims.

Cosmic Clarets^v²²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: Christian Howarth⁽³⁾| T: S Dixon| OR: 63

10/1

Fair maiden for Richard & Peter Fahey and ran up to best when second of 10 on 6f course yard debut 3 weeks ago. Player with a repeat.

Form: 0-22662

Imelda¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: H Crouch| T: D Loughnane| OR: 63

14/1

Promise when placed in maidens (including C&D) on her first 3 starts but hasn't been able to continue the good work since handicapping. A return to tapeta needs to help spark a revival.

Supreme Dancer⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Ethan Tindall⁽⁵⁾| T: R A Fahey| OR: 61| D

18/1

Runner-up twice this year prior to making it sixteenth time lucky in 7f Carlisle handicap (good to soft) under Ethan Tindall 8 weeks ago. Should remain competitive off 4 lb higher.

Form: 57-2821

Light The Night Up³⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: C Lee| T: K R Burke| OR: 57

15/2

Remains winless and her last 2 efforts have been disappointing. Bounce back needed returned to all-weather.

Forecasts

Royal County Glory (4/7), Hamaleel (11/2), Light The Night Up (15/2), Cosmic Clarets (10/1), Imelda (14/1), Supreme Dancer (18/1)

ROYAL COUNTY GLORY is on a roll and might be able to defy a penalty and stretch his winning run on all-weather to 4. Cosmic Clarets made a positive start for the Scott Dixon yard when runner-up over 6f here last month and can fill the forecast spot ahead of his former stablemate Supreme Dancer.
