Pattie²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-7| J: S De Sousa| T: M R Channon| OR: 76| D

5/2

Showed a good attitude to win a handicap at Pontefract in June, but has found life tougher off higher handicap marks in recent outings. Slipping back down the weights, but has a bit to find.

Form: 261455

Here's Two²⁷

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: K T O'Neill| T: R J Hodges| OR: 70| C| D

9/2

Has run well on all three visits to this track and registered a victory in the last of them over 7f. Has to cope with a 3lb rise and extra furlong, but has won over this trip and is in good heart.

Form: 743271

(2)

Canterbury Quad^v1⁵⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Jenny Powell⁽⁵⁾| T: H Spiller| OR: 75

16/1

Last three starts have been over 2f and she has looked a little short on stamina. Of some interest off career-low mark with a visor fitted for the first time.

Form: 43-6338

(4)

Fantasy Queen³⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-6| J: Charles Bishop| T: Eve Johnson Houghton| OR: 69| CD

7/2

All four of her career victories have come at this track, three of them at this distance, including last time off 4lb lower. Has to cope with her highest handicap rating so far, but is so effective at this venue that she has to be feared.

Form: 7-35131

Getna^b1¹⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 70

11/1

Still looking for her first win after seven starts and her first sortie into handicap company last time saw her quite well beaten over 7f. Steps up 1f off 2lb lower and has possibilities if taking kindly to first-time blinkers.

Form: 4-35223

(3)

Mia Cara^v¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 8-9| J: S J Drowne| T: P D Evans| OR: 64

20/1

Only two wins have come on the AW and she is 0-10 on turf. Closely matched with Here's Two on course form in July and 6f would not have suited last time. Both wins have come over 7f which is a worry given this distance.

Form: 247627

(6)

Bradfield Magic⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-2| J: F Norton| T: C Hills| OR: 57

4/1

First run over 1m at Salisbury produced an improved display to finish second. She gets in this contest off a 2lb lower mark than her future rating and has to be of interest with leading lightweight on board.

Form: 87-9372

(7)

Delirium^p¹⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-1| J: Jane Elliott⁽⁵⁾| T: E De Giles| OR: 54

12/1

Still a maiden after seven starts, but produced her best run over C&D when second of six under this jockey. Races off 1lb lower and certainly enters calculations.

Form: 77-0627

Forecasts

Pattie (5/2), Fantasy Queen (7/2), Bradfield Magic (4/1), Here's Two (9/2), Getna (11/1), Delirium (12/1), Canterbury Quad (16/1), Mia Cara (20/1)

Course specialist Fantasy Queen has to be feared despite going up considerably in the handicap, while bottom weight Delerium has a good run over C&D to her credit and looks nicely treated. Here's Two is another to consider, but the selection is BRADFIELD MAGIC, who ran her best race so far last time and looks ready to strike.
