Shifra³²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-9| J: Paddy Bradley| T: P Phelan| OR: 60| D

9/4

Off the mark at Lingfield in a classified stakes in June and raised her game with a dominant display under a no-nonsense ride to double her tally in 12-runner handicap at Bath (1¼m, good) last month. 8 lb higher here but remains of interest now they've learnt how best to ride her.

Skimming Along¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 9-7| J: Alec Voikhansky| T: D Steele| OR: 58| C

11/2

A 2-time scorer in 2025, including at this track. Made a solid return from 7 months off with fifth of 8 at Lingfield (1½m) in April and ran to a similar level back from another break when third of 7 at this track (1½m, good) last month. Has ability but clearly not the easiest to train.

Form: 4102-53

Vitality³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: Callum Shepherd| T: C Johnston| OR: 59

20/1

Often races freely and again showed little with the hood discarded when fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f) last month. Upped to 1¼m but hard to see her featuring despite a falling mark.

Muy Muy Loco^h³³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: Tyler Heard| T: S Dow| OR: 54| D

9/1

Hold-up performer whose 2 career victories have come over 1¼m at Lingfield, overcoming a pace bias for his success in February. Wasn't seen to best effect back down in trip when fourth of 8 at Lingfield (1m) last month. Now below his last winning mark but this a very rare turf outing.

Cosmic Girl^h¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Callum Hutchinson| T: A M Balding| OR: 58

7/2

Wootton Bassett filly who showed plenty to work on when third of 5 in novice at Lingfield (7.5f, good) back in May. Disappointed on her next couple of starts but back to her debut level when third of 9 on handicap bow at Ffos Las (1m, heavy) recently. Step up to 1¼m could well eke out extra.

Dream Of Ithaca³¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Liam Wright⁽³⁾| T: J Gallagher| OR: 55| C

11/2

Landed classified event at this track in August before following up in a handicap at Ffos Las 15 days later, though was a fortunate on the latter occasion. Disappointed in pursuit of the hat-trick at Thirsk (1½m) last month (possibly overdoing it) so bounce back is required returned to 1¼m.

Celtic Spirit^p⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 8-13| J: Dylan Hogan| T: K Jewell| OR: 50

6/1

Bounced back to form dropped back in trip when second of 10 at this course (1m, good) 9 days ago, his effort very much one of late gains. One to consider with the return to 1¼m looking a good move.

Summer Evening^t²⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-11| J: David Probert| T: D Flood| OR: 48

12/1

Long-standing maiden who ran about as well as she ever has when second of 9 at Ffos Las (1¼m, soft) last month. Nudged up 2 lb for that near miss and her task is to now back that up.

Form: 498802

All About George^p⁴⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Kieran Burke| OR: 45

25/1

Winless from 11 starts and again ran poorly in a first-time visor over C&D just over 6 weeks ago. Cheekpieces reapplied but leap of faith needed.

Fitzmaurice³²

Age: 4| Weight: 8-9| J: Jack Doughty| T: A W Carroll| OR: 45

16/1

Long-standing maiden whose best effort for this yard when second of 6 over C&D in a classified stakes in August. Well beaten on both subsequent starts so best watched.

Forecasts

Shifra (9/4), Cosmic Girl (4/1), Summer Evening (11/2), Celtic Spirit (6/1), Dream Of Ithaca (8/1), Muy Muy Loco (10/1), Skimming Along (12/1), Vitality (20/1), Fitzmaurice (25/1), All About George (25/1), Benavente (50/1)

Preference is for SHIFRA, who has had a light campaign and now connections have learnt how best to ride her, Pat Phelan's filly can make it 3 wins from her last 4 starts. This return to 1¼m looks a good move for Celtic Spirit, so he could be the one to provide most resistance, with Cosmic Girl rounding off the shortlist for in-form handler Andrew Balding.
