Glorious Artist¹⁵⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Michael J M Murphy| T: C Hills| OR: 76

7/4

Can be a bit keen but not disgraced when last seen last September, not beaten far in a Class 3 handicap at Kempton (7f). This looks a lot easier and if ready to go after a break, holds an obvious chance in what looks a match on paper.

Form: 424-313

(4)

Ray's The Money^v¹⁶⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Louis Steward⁽³⁾| T: M L W Bell| OR: 79

8/13

Sets the standard on a half-length second to Lockheed at Goodwood last July, but twice beaten favourite since then, looking a hard ride (hans left under pressure). Visor didn't help the situation on latest start, and now starting to look a risky proposition.

Form: 252-146

Bonnie Gals¹¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Shirley Teasdale⁽⁵⁾| T: K Dalgleish

14/1

Does at least come here fit and in form after a second at Southwell in a moderate maiden, but that form falls someway short of what the principals have achieved. Will probably do better again, but may be relying on others to misfire.

Forecasts

Ray's The Money (8/13), Glorious Artist (7/4), Bowed Not Broken (4/1), Bonnie Gals (14/1)

On form this looks between GLORIOUS ARTIST and Ray's The Money, with the former getting the vote taking this drop down in grade. If he's ready to roll after a break, he can prove too good for Ray's The Money, who was starting to look a tricky ride at the end of last season. Bowed Not Broken can't be totally discounted on his debut, given the slight questions about the principals and the market should give a guide as to his chances.
